2025 is shaping up to be a key year for the crypto market, with a favorable macroeconomic and political environment. In this context, the city analyzes which cryptocurrencies to follow in the coming year.
2024 marked an exceptional year for Bitcoin (BTC) and consolidated its position in global markets. With the imminent arrival of 2025, an even more favorable outlook is anticipated thanks to the new administration in the US, led by Donald Trump , who promises a pro-crypto stance. This change, combined with growing institutional adoption, could take the market to new all-time highs.
In addition, Republican promises to encourage investments in this market by public pension funds and state treasuries reinforce expectations of a " bull run ." This boom will not only benefit BTC, but will also boost altcoins , the alternative cryptocurrencies that complement the crypto ecosystem.
A guru claims that the third major Bitcoin supply shock has begun and the price could reach $250,000 by 2025
Market enthusiasts and investors argue that greater government adoption would not only stabilize Bitcoin's price fluctuations but also grant it greater legitimacy, which would push its value to extraordinary levels. The year 2024 has already been marked as historic for cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin's astronomical rise, breaking the $100,000 barrier .
But it was no coincidence, there were several elements that drove this dynamic. Among the most notable milestones this year was the approval by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the first exchange-traded funds (ETFs) backed by Bitcoin. Likewise, Trump's promise to position the northern country as the "Bitcoin superpower" at a global level ended up defining the main market trends.
Cryptocurrencies: which cryptocurrencies are seducing the market.
Matías Part , an analyst at Bitget, told Ámbito that year after year, the crypto market continues to surprise with new technologies, financial dynamics and assets that promise to revolutionize the way we understand money.
Part argues that geopolitical instability, trade tensions between major powers, changes in central bank monetary policies and persistent inflation exert " a direct influence on the direction of global financial markets ."
For this reason, as 2025 approaches, he shared the list of the 10 cryptocurrencies that he considers essential to add to portfolios to maximize performance during the next " bull run ", without losing sight of the fact that their performance will also depend on the macroeconomic and regulatory climate. It should be noted that these selections are not based on simple speculation and that each one has a solid technological and strategic foundation.
The 10 essential cryptos.
Bitcoin and Ethereum undoubtedly lead the ranking of the 10 tokens to keep an eye on. However, the Fiwind team also shares some nuances with Part and adds other tokens that could capture the "good momentum" of the market.
First of all, both exchanges agree that investors should closely monitor tokens such as: Bitcoin (BTC); Ethereum (ETH); Solana (SOL) and Ripple (XRP), which are leading the year's gains. For example, Solana climbed 194.6% and XRP recorded a gain of 305%.
Part also recommends following tokens such as Polkadot (DOT), Cardano (ADA), Chainlink (LINK), Sui (SUI), Avalanche (AVAX) and Mantle (MNT). Explaining its rationale, he says that, for example, LINK is not just another “oracle,” but is the bridge between the crypto world and reality.
"As decentralized finance matures and new forms of insurance, tokenized bonds, and derivatives begin to coexist with traditional banking , the need for reliable data will be crucial. If regulators demand greater transparency, Chainlink will benefit by being a trusted provider of external information for smart contracts," he explains.
Regarding SUI , the strategist anticipates that thanks to its focus on scalability, security, and experience, it appears on the scene when governments and multinational companies begin to consider the adoption of Blockchain infrastructure to improve operational efficiency. "A platform that facilitates the construction of large-scale DeFi, NFT, and Web3 solutions, without friction and with high security standards, will be able to consolidate itself in markets that seek digitalization and traceability. It's like the new Solana," Part says.
Stablecoins are not losing their appeal.
According to the Finwind team, USDT or USDC (stablecoins) are the most widely used tokens, particularly at a national level, where they are commonly used to buy digital dollars and carry out arbitrage between pesos and US currency in different markets. "In addition, they represent an option to diversify and gain profitability with less risk, which serves as a refuge in periods of high volatility," they explain.
They also highlight BNB, which is the native cryptocurrency of Binance , one of the largest exchanges in the world. "Its utility in the Binance ecosystem, such as reducing transaction fees and its use in DeFi products within the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), ensures high demand. With continued growth in crypto adoption next year, BNB is expected to continue its upward trend," they anticipate.
The exchange also lists TON and Polygon (POL). The former is a project, originally developed by the creators of Telegram, to become a decentralized and independent blockchain. "TON was designed to be highly scalable, with low transaction fees, and integrates with Telegram, which favors its adoption. In addition, it supports smart contracts and seeks to be interoperable with other blockchains."
For its part, it assures that Polygon has established itself as a leading scalability solution in the Ethereum network, allowing fast and economical transactions. In addition, 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 piece for the expansion of the Ethereum ecosystem, being an attractive option for both developers and investors," the experts point out.
The "bonus tracks" for 2025.
Part adds Dogecoin to his analysis, which despite its origins as a joke, maintains relevance thanks to its active community and the support of Elon Musk, which gives it speculative potential in a market influenced by news and media strategies. "Although it lacks technical solidity compared to other projects, its constant public visibility could surprise in a bull run driven by viral narratives," he explains.
Finally, the expert indicates that the selection of these cryptocurrencies is based on their technological potential , robust communities and the projection of their teams. He recalls that investing in crypto requires analyzing adoption dynamics, macroeconomic contexts, monetary policies and regulations. "In 2025, blockchains will be consolidated as a key infrastructure for transactions, digital identities and global markets without barriers," he shares.
This vision aims to distinguish between fads and projects with real value: Bitcoin and Ethereum as the foundation, 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.
