This 2024 marked an exceptional year for $BTC (Bitcoin) and solidified its position in global markets. With the imminent arrival of 2025, an even more favorable landscape is anticipated due to the new administration taking office in the US, led by #DonaldTrump, who promises a pro-crypto stance. This change, combined with increasing institutional adoption, could drive the market to new all-time highs.
Moreover, the Republican promises to incentivize investments in this market by public pension funds and state treasuries reinforce expectations for a #bullrun. This surge will not only benefit Bitcoin but will also give momentum to #altcoins, the alternative cryptocurrencies that complement the #crypto ecosystem.
Market enthusiasts and investors maintain that greater governmental adoption would not only stabilize Bitcoin's price fluctuations but also grant it greater legitimacy, potentially driving its value to extraordinary figures. The year 2024 has already been marked as historic for cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin's astronomical rise breaking the $100,000 barrier.
But it was not casual; several elements drove this dynamic. Among the most notable milestones this year is the approval by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the first Bitcoin-backed exchange-traded funds (#ETFs). Furthermore, Trump's promise to position the northern country as the 'Bitcoin superpower' globally ultimately defined the main market trends.
The 10 must-have cryptos
Undoubtedly, Bitcoin and Ethereum lead the ranking of the 10 tokens to watch closely. However, there are also other tokens that could capture the 'good momentum' of the market.
Investors should closely follow tokens like:
#Bitcoin ( BTC )
#Ethereum ($ETH )
#Solana ( SOL )
#Ripple ( XRP )
that lead the gains of the year.
We should also keep an eye on tokens like:
#Polkadot ( DOT )
#Cardano ( ADA )
#Chainlink ( LINK )
#Sui ( SUI )
#Avalanche ( AVAX )
#Mantle ( MNT )
For example, LINK is not just another 'oracle,' but it is the bridge between the crypto world and reality.
Regarding SUI, it can be highlighted that thanks to its focus on scalability, security, and experience, it emerges when governments and multinational companies start considering the adoption of blockchain infrastructure to improve operational efficiency. A platform that facilitates the construction of DeFi, NFT, and Web3 solutions at scale, frictionlessly and with high-security standards, will be able to consolidate in markets seeking digitalization and traceability. Many consider it to be the new Solana.
Stablecoins remain attractive
USDT and USDC (stablecoins) are the most commonly used tokens, particularly at the national level, where they are commonly used to buy digital dollars and conduct arbitrage between pesos and US currency in various markets. Additionally, they represent an option to diversify and gain profitability with less risk, serving as a refuge during periods of high volatility.
BNB is also noteworthy, being the native cryptocurrency of #Binance, which due to its utility within the Binance ecosystem, such as transaction fee reductions and its use in DeFi products within Binance Smart Chain (BSC), ensures high demand. With the continued growth of crypto adoption next year, BNB is expected to continue its upward trend.
On the list, we can also mention TON and Polygon ( POL ). The first crypto is a project originally developed by the creators of Telegram, aiming to become a decentralized and independent blockchain designed to be highly scalable, with low transaction fees, and integrates with Telegram, which favors its adoption. Additionally, it supports smart contracts and aims to be interoperable with other blockchains.
On its part, Polygon has established itself as a leading scalability solution on the Ethereum network, allowing for fast and economical transactions. Additionally, it is one of the projects with the longest track record in the sector, which allows it to build a solid and reliable ecosystem with decentralized applications, strategic partnerships, and constant updates. Its longevity and adaptability make it a key player in the expansion of the Ethereum ecosystem, being an attractive option for both developers and investors.
Bonus tracks for 2025
#Dogecoin, which despite its origin as a joke, maintains relevance thanks to its active community and the support of Elon Musk, has high speculative potential in a market influenced by news and media strategies. It may lack technical solidity compared to other projects, but its constant public visibility could surprise in a bull run driven by viral narratives.
The analysis and selection of these cryptocurrencies are based on their technological potential, robust communities, and the projection of their teams. It is good to remember that investing in crypto requires analyzing adoption dynamics, macroeconomic contexts, monetary policies, and regulations. By 2025, blockchains will consolidate as key infrastructure for transactions, digital identities, and global markets without barriers, in my opinion.
This vision aims to distinguish between fads and projects with real value: Bitcoin and Ethereum as the base, Solana, Polkadot, Cardano, and XRP focused on efficiency and interoperability, and projects like Chainlink, Sui, Avalanche, and Mantle that drive infrastructure and scalability. In this landscape, Dogecoin could be a wild card driven by its media impact.
