When Bitcoin was included in the offerings of various ETFs in early 2024, many analysts predicted and hoped for the largest bull run in history. The fire was further fueled by the traditional “trigger” for Bitcoin’s price increase, as well as for all other cryptocurrencies, known as the “Halving,” followed by the cherry on top—Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election, who had declared himself as “Pro Crypto” during his campaign. All of this led to a rise in all cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin reaching an incredible 109,000 USD. Now that BTC has fallen to 83,000 USD, and other coins have returned to their 2023 values (some even lower). Now, more people are wondering if the Bull Market is over. Let’s see what are the best coins to invest in 2025.
Still, if we look back at the previous cycle, we’ll remember that a similar situation occurred then. An initial spring pump followed by a decline and a lull before the final spike in November 2021. Although there are no guarantees that history will repeat itself, it is our only indicator of events, and all the parameters suggest that the events of 2025 align closely with those of 2021. However, we must not forget that with the entry of BlackRock and other investment banks, the rules of the game have undergone drastic changes.
Introduction
One of the key indicators of market sentiment is the Fear-Greed index. History has taught us that it is an ideal time to invest in crypto whenever fear prevails. Similarly, when the market enters a phase of extreme greed, it’s a sign that it’s time to start cashing in on your portfolio. Given that the index at the time of writing this article is incredibly low, with a value of just 16, indicating extreme fear, it is clear that this is an ideal moment to buy. We believe that the Bull Run is not yet over. Especially when considering all the positive factors that could impact the market. Those are the full adoption of crypto by the USA as a leading power. Also, the expectation of upcoming ETFs, particularly for Solana, Link, and many other coins.
On the other hand, caution has never been more necessary. Both the market and the game’s rules have undergone significant changes. During the previous Bull, there were fewer than 4,000 existing tokens. Today, that number exceeds a staggering 13,000,000, undoubtedly flooding the market with massive liquidity across various worthless tokens. A significant factor in this has been the website Pump.fun, which has allowed anyone to create their currency, with its success solely dependent on hype. Naturally, many “rug pulls” have emerged with such token creation conditions. So, it’s crucial to be selective about which coins to invest in during the upcoming period.
For this reason, we have decided to help you make an informed decision about which tokens to invest in during the upcoming period. We have considered all the factors that could be crucial for the price of cryptocurrencies in the near future. The following text will present the Top 3 coins to invest in for 2025.
1. Ethereum (ETH)
When we discuss altcoins that haven’t achieved the expected results in this Bull market, Ethereum stands out as the number one. This project is undoubtedly everything that crypto should represent. As an innovative technology that has proven to be the most stable and prosperous over the years, there is no doubt it has growth potential.
Moreover, Ethereum, along with Bitcoin, is the only cryptocurrency included in investment ETFs. That information speaks volumes about its reputation and standing in the crypto world. However, as is often the case, various fud (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) surrounding this token have led to a decline in its value. Additionally, more discussions are emerging about market manipulation, where “big players” aim to drive down the value of ETH so they can buy it at lower prices.
In support of this is the fact that the company “World Liberty,” owned by the Trump family, holds a third of its portfolio in Ethereum and is increasing its holdings of this cryptocurrency almost daily. On the other hand, one of the “negative” aspects of Ethereum is its transition from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake. That move all OG crypto miners have cited as a step backward for this token.
At the time of writing this text, Ethereum’s value is 1,805 USD. We believe that if everything goes according to plan, we could easily see it reach at least its all-time high in 2025, which is around 5,000 USD. Of course, if ETFs include ETH staking in their offerings, the price ambitions for this token would rise even further.
2. Sui (SUI)
Sui is one of our favorite cryptocurrencies for investment. We discussed it when it was priced at 0.9 USD. At its current price of 2.25 USD, we believe it represents an ideal entry point for those seeking a project that could generate profits in the upcoming period. Sui is an innovative Layer 1 token. Its blockchain boasts an incredibly high number of transactions per second, along with a stable network, unlike Solana, for example.
Sui is a project created by Mysten Labs in 2023. The fact that this token didn’t exist during the previous Bull Run is its most significant advantage. We’ve noticed several times that immediately after breaking through the all-time high, Sui’s price rises dramatically by 20-30%. At one point, this token’s price reached as high as 5.39 USD. We’re confident it can go even higher, possibly reaching double digits if the market provides such an opportunity. Of course, the import tariffs imposed by Trump have had an impact on value, which currently stands at 2.25 USD. We consider this price ideal for those looking for a coin to invest in. Especially since the previous ATH, which we believe is easily reachable, offers a potential profit of up to x2.4.
Another positive characteristic of Sui is its excellent token unlock model. New tokens entering circulation have no impact on the decline in price. This is a truly unique example in the market and perhaps the best indicator of how much holders value this token. Currently, 32% of the tokens are unlocked, and the release is happening linearly until 2030.
3. Chainlink (LINK)
Chainlink represents one of the cornerstones of the cryptocurrency industry. It is undoubtedly one of the most essential cryptocurrencies due to its role in connecting smart contracts with external real-world data. Link was launched in 2017 and enables decentralized Oracle services that provide accurate and verified information to smart contracts. Furthermore, the crucial aspect of Link lies in its reliability and security. LINK safely implements real-world data into blockchain networks.
Until Ethereum began to lag, Link was considered one of the most undervalued cryptocurrencies on the market. Now we can confidently say that not much has changed. Its value is still far below what it truly means to the overall blockchain technology.
At the time of writing, the price of Link is 13.08 USD. The highest value of the token was recorded during the previous bull market, at just over 52 USD. Objectively speaking, even this value is far below what Chainlink deserves. With the final altcoin pump we expect in the second half of this year, we believe Link will surpass its previous all-time high and may even approach a triple-digit value. This is why we’ve placed Chainlink as number 3 on our list of the best cryptocurrencies to invest in 2025.
All of the project’s coins are now unlocked, which is a bonus. We will now see whether Link meets our expectations in the upcoming period, which we sincerely hope for. In our eyes, LINK is the best coin to invest in 2025. It is like taking a candy from a baby, or when you find a no deposit bonus at a betting site.
Conclusion
Although this Bull Run began with a different rhythm, it appears that “gambling money” has been exhausted. The next pump could be dedicated to projects with real value. Primarily, we’re referring to Layer 1 projects. That is why our list of the top three tokens appears as it does. Of course, AI coins have also set high expectations. So we wouldn’t be surprised if they experience a sharp price rise in the next six months. However, one thing is certain: when everything is set aside, technology remains, and it is precisely such projects that should be given a chance, because, in the short term or the long run, they will provide financial benefits to their holders.

FAQ
Why invest in Ethereum rather than Bitcoin at this moment?
Bitcoin has already completed its run since the beginning of 2024, reaching the desired $100,000 mark. While we believe Bitcoin can still go higher, we don’t expect its growth to exceed 50% of its current price. On the other hand, Ethereum is lagging in every aspect, and when its time comes, we expect a minimum growth of x2 from its current value.
What is „Halving“?
Bitcoin halving is an event that occurs approximately every four years, in which the reward for mining new Bitcoin blocks is reduced by 50%. The goal of the halving is to limit the total supply of tokens to the previously defined 21 million. This way, Bitcoin’s inflation is controlled since fewer new tokens are available compared to those generated through mining.
What are the best centralized and decentralized exchanges for purchasing tokens?
When it comes to centralized exchanges where you can buy and store tokens, the best options include Binance, Coinbase, Gate.io, KuCoin, and Crypto.com. On the other hand, the choice of decentralized exchanges depends on the blockchain on which your desired token is located. However, the leaders in this space are Uniswap, Jupiter, and Raydium.
What can we take as an indicator that the Altseason has started?
The best indicator for the start of Altseason is monitoring the Bitcoin dominance index. BTC dominance represents the percentage share of Bitcoin’s market value in the entire crypto market. The higher it is, the more it signals that we are in a Bitcoin season. Only when Bitcoin dominance falls below 50% can we talk about a potential Altcoin season.
How to protect yourself from losses when investing in cryptocurrencies?
The most important rule when investing in crypto is to never invest more than you are willing to lose from the beginning. Additionally, it’s always crucial to diversify your portfolio and not rely solely on one currency. It’s also wise to set “stop loss” orders if the market experiences a sharp decline due to global market conditions.
