The BNB whale that called Fantom’s 250% pump from August has shared two of his top picks for 2025. After reaping substantial profits from FTM, crypto enthusiasts are eager to learn about these selections to diversify their portfolios.
In addition to the whale’s BNB holdings, these picks span across DeFi, gaming, and interoperability, each positioned to benefit from evolving market trends
BNB Price Remains Afloat Amid Market Reversal
For the whale, BNB is a pivotal holding despite Binance’s issues with the SEC and the US government as a whole. Kraken, the second largest exchange in the United States, recently announced that 19 tokens including BNB were included in the coin listing roadmap. As a result, the BNB price remained steady over the past week while the general market retraced.
With a 175% increase in the past year, BNB is slowly rising to the occasion of setting a new ATH. According to data from CoinCodex, the BNB price is projected to cross $1,000 apiece. Positive sentiment around BNB has been further bolstered by Binance Labs’ investment in Kernel DAO, aimed at developing restaking infrastructure on the BNB Chain.
XRP Sets Its Sights on $1.5 After Record Inflows
Considering its recent market activity, it is no surprise that XRP is a top consideration for 2025. After a long year of legal back-and-forths with the SEC, Ripple may emerge victorious as SEC Chair Gary Gensler announced his resignation for January 20, 2025. In light of this, XRP inflows in the past week surged 350%, reaching $15.2 million.
With 17 green days in the last 30 days, Ripple’s XRP is forecasted to start December above $1.5 apiece. Per technical indicators, XRP is trading well above its moving averages with positive MACD levels. The Ripple community sentiment is also 88% bullish after asset manager WisdomTree filed for an XRP ETF in Delaware.
