Topic: Which Altcoins Are Leading the Pack in 2025? (Read 128 times)

If it is followed by the news and new actions from this department - then maybe.
Otherwise, it's not worth taking it into the account.
The question about BTC reserves would be more interesting, in my opinion, and how fast it would be resolved.

In my opinion no, Doge will continue to dance because it becomes a meme coin icon in the crypto market, but the increase in my opinion will not be significant as before because to get a significant increase requires greater money from the marketcap now, it is very difficult to gather that has no important utility to get that.
All of that will happen as before, falling to $ 0.1 after the pleasure ends, because today's rapidly large has not happened to make the current price still survive and still has a chance to increase even though it is small.

There are so many potential altcoins these days, and some of the ones I know have potential but I can't afford to buy them all, first of all Bnb, Sol, Pol, Trx, Kas, Atr, Bonk, pepe, shib, Ton, and others that I won't mention.

The others that have recently come out are Notcoin, Bome, Dogs, Doge and Hbar, actually there are many more, it's up to others to research as long as
they are included in the top listings in the market, they are good for sure.

Don't you think the appointment of Elon by Trump to head a new department called DOGE might trigger some kind of hype post inauguration? Even though it is not certain this will happen, I see it as a possibility which can lead to some crazy moves in DOGE coin. Apart from this expectations, I don't plan to buy DOGE instead I am looking at XRP, XLM and SOL as my major picks for the bull run. They all have already shown some great potential especially XRP and there is still the possibilities of greater performance.

I will go with SOLANA as one of the leading coins this year, due to the huge and massive adoption of memecoins, especially with AI related tokens. There are many other Altcoins out there that I can’t surely suggest but most of them won’t bring anything new to the market other than what we have already.
I believe the success behind any Altcoin is the hype created in social spaces, followed by investors and many others trying to make a fortune from buying that exact coin everyone is talking about. At the end of the day only long term projects with good vision are the ones that going to last and gain a momentum trend other than a pump and dumb.

I'm still bullish on LTC.

Some other promising coins imo:

Solana, Shiba, HBar, Tron, BNB

You do know that he is the chairperson of DOGE department and still holds a large amount of DOGE as I heard.

I am sure elon musk will not abandon that. Hype down doesn't mean that it will last long, you gotta give it time again and it'll go up again Moreover, we'll see more rise in the upcoming bull.
Well there is good chance that ethereum will not be left behind.. For the past few months, this has been struggling, but managed to hit $4K last month..

Seen some guys saying this is the last dip for eth, so a pretty good chance it'll go up and catch momentum.. the alts on the ethereum chain will have great impact soon especially BGB, UNI and others. Trying to get some alts bagged in from events, I am currently partaking in their new year, new you 100% returns event to get some BGB rewards.

I also have something to contribute to this thread. Currently, AI agents are the latest big trend. One of the largest platforms for creating AI agents is creator.bid, which is supported by Binance and is aiming to go public this year.

We are a team of three altcoin veterans, and we have created an AI agent there named Alicius Maximus. Alicius Maximus is an AI with characteristics that we modeled after Alice Weidel (Alice Weidel is the leader of the second largest party of Germany called Alternative für Deutschland). Using predefined parameters, the AI independently 'tweets' on X, similar to the prominent figure 'aixbt'. We are using this mindset for the AI:

The agent will tweet in German and poke fun at political issues in a sarcastic and humorous tone. The content will reflect Alice Weidel's typical statements and political stance so that the connection is recognizable to the audience. The agent refers to current events in Germany and uses viral topics. It criticizes the established parties and points out alternatives. His aim is to become as viral and well-known as possible. He criticizes too much bureaucracy and waste of taxes. He promotes economic and personal freedom, internal security and the rule of law. He stands for higher pensions, less welfare state and more personal responsibility. It promotes greater investment in education and research.

We want to take advantage of the momentum likely to be generated by the conversation between Alice Weidel and Elon Musk on January 9th.
However, we plan to manage the project for the long term, as it requires little effort—the AI handles almost everything.

The project is currently in the 'bonding phase.' Until 6 Ethereum (on the Base blockchain) are collected, it can only be found on the creator.bid platform.

Once the 6 Ethereum are invested (currently, 4 have been raised), the token will be traded as a regular Base blockchain token on all usual decentralized exchanges. The goal, of course, is a listing on exchanges and a market capitalization of over 100 million to make us all fabulously rich 

The token distribution is fair (only 21 million coins) and can be viewed on the blockchain here as well: https://basescan.org/token/0xeb4e25e8bdd4150d3f9e2aa11a3b8cf06fb1f1f4

Currently, there are already 46 investors. We hope the 'bonding' will be completed by January 7th, as the timing would be perfect for the conversation on January 9th: https://x.com/Alice_Weidel/status/1875542643108970523
For example, anyone who invests 0.25 Ether now will receive half a million $Alicius and will control around 2% of all coins!

although the narrative seems to be more on the AI agent side, I also think that perp dex and some good L1 might take the spotlight.

berachain seems doing pretty well, so many integration with various defi right now, with monad, it's still unclear because their devnet is limited.

i'm expecting something big will come from berachain and monad though, something like those arbitrum and optimism craze, big airdrops and massive event.
but personally I bet first quarter of this year would be AI agent craze.

AI - Virtual on Base, AI16z on Solana

pretty sure we will see winners emerge in the AI category but i think Virtual is the best right now


DeFi - Hyperliquid, AAVE and Ethena

Hyperliquid = new perp dex with EVM L1 built on top of it. Ethena = new synthetic stablecoin with yield farming protocols


in terms of L1s you have Hyperliquid, SUI, Berachain and Monad

personally think HL and Berachain are the most interesting ones out of those

I have two categories that potentially leading in 2025.

1. AI agent, i.e Virtual. AI agent has become the new trend, and the money is shifting on it. You can see how some AI agent tokens are increasing drastically. So many Venture Capitals are starting to allocate lots of money to invest in AI agents related project.

It's hard to call AI agent won't to lead market this year. Many are starting to pay attention to this kind of project.

2. DeSci i.e Bio Tech. I know DeSci is still relatively new to some people, and i hear some who cons and pros to this, but a new trend is always getting pumped. We rarely saw projects touched this sector. I think it's gonna big as long as there will be a project that can be a pioneer for the development of Decentralized Science.

For the long term this year of course it will go to altcoins that have good fundamentals, not necessarily those that are in the early stages of development, but it could also be Ethereum (ETH) because they have not shown a good enough price increase. Then in the short term, it certainly has to be hype-driven. For now & in the future, AI Agents category tokens might be a good choice. For short-term tokens, I can't name them, because it's just momentum.

I suggest dropping DOGE -- the hype is over, and it’s unlikely to happen again. Elon might already be scouting for another cheap meme coin to hype during the next bull run, and when that happens, DOGE’s value could take a huge dump. Investors will likely move on to the new "playground," leaving DOGE behind.

This might be too early to ask, but I am sure throughout 2024, a lot of altcoins with continued growth will enter 2025. I'm not sure which is the current altcoin that is chosen by same holders..

Tho I hold quite a lot of tokens, most of my holdings in DOGE, SUI, BNB, BGB... and guess what those tokens didn't disappoint me, as DOGE was driven by the hype and Elon's impression gave it a good boost, SUI just broke its ATH, on other hand BNB & BGB broke its ATH last year.. It's good how each token operates in their diff way, tho it can be fail in some ways for alts, which we have to DYOR them and choose good alts..

So yeah, these picks have blessed me with profits but beyond that they’ve shown how patience and strategy in holding the right alts can really pay off. I am sure you guys also feel the same way.. Hopefully this year will be packed with profits and good strategies to earn more profits, rewards and etc.

Let me hear your picks guys and why you decided to put investment on it?
