Rafik Mamin, CEO of Minestream, believes that the main contenders for maximum profit in 2025 remain Ethereum (ETH), XRP (XRP), Solana (SOL) and Bitcoin (BTC), which will remain the “first violin” in the crypto market.

Head of Strifor's Client Data Management Department Alexey Bykov partially agreed with Rafik Mamin's selection of coins. Our interlocutor presented a list for investment in 2025, which consists of 6 cryptocurrencies. He also explained his choice in detail.

Ethereum (ETH). Ethereum continues to hold its leading position thanks to upcoming upgrades that should increase scalability, reduce transaction costs, and improve energy efficiency. Smart contracts and decentralized applications remain the main drivers of network growth. High levels of innovation and a strong community make ETH an attractive asset for long-term investment.

Optimism (OP) - A second-layer solution for Ethereum based on Optimistic Rollups technology helps relieve network congestion and reduce fees. Popular projects such as Uniswap and Synthetix are already using this platform, which indicates its reliability and growth potential.

StarkNet ($STRK ) Another Ethereum-based layer 2 platform that uses zk-rollups to improve transaction speed and security. The STRK token price is at historic lows, making it attractive to long-term investors for growth.

Polygon (MATIC). Polygon successfully solves Ethereum’s scalability problems by offering cheap and fast transactions. Its ecosystem is actively developing, attracting developers and investors. Future updates may further strengthen its position in the crypto market.

Bitcoin ($BTC ). Despite the steady growth of other altcoins, Bitcoin remains digital gold. It is integrated into the traditional financial system and serves as a reliable asset for long-term investment.

Solana ($SOL ) The Solana network has gained attention due to its speed and low fees. The popularity of Solana-based decentralized applications and NFTs continues to grow, supporting demand for the token.

The next one to discuss promising cryptocurrencies of 2025 with us was financial expert and investor Ilya Makar. First of all, our interlocutor noted Bitcoin. He explained the growth prospects of BTC by the growth of institutional interest in crypto and the potential for scaling the coin network.

Among altcoins, Ilya Makar singled out Ethereum, whose team continues to work on improving the technical component of the cryptocurrency, as well as Cardano.

Among other original altcoins that investors should pay attention to, Ilya Makar singled out Polkadot, Chainlink, Solana, Avalanche, Polygon, Cosmos and Near Protocol. In his opinion, these promising cryptocurrencies can show good growth in 2025. Our interlocutor explained his point of view by the viability of the technical side of the projects, as well as the growing demand for platform solutions.#BtcNewHolder #2024withBinance
