About half of the 100 best cryptocurrencies (classified by market capitalization) have outperformed Bitcoin(Crypto: BTC) In the last 90 days. During this period, Bitcoin increased by 2% without particularity. In comparison, a certain number of higher altcoins have skyrocketed 75% or more.
So what is the next crypto ready to explode in 2025? To answer this question, it is useful to understand what altcoins are currently going up in value and what they all have in common. Let’s take a closer look.
Currently, 45 altcoins deeply beat Bitcoin. The list of the best performers includes a few pieces of memes, such as Fatty penguins(Crypto: Pengu)which increased by 148% in the last 90 days on August 26. The good news is that investors can safely ignore these memes parts because of their mercurial and volatile nature. If someone can explain why digital penguins have become viral for a long hot summer, tell me.
The name that really jumps from the list of the best performers is Ethereum(Crypto: ETH)This has increased by 75% in the last 90 days. The second largest cryptocurrency in the world draws the attention of retail and institutional investors, due to its recent explosive race.

In addition, several senior decentralized financial cryptocurrencies (DEFI) have performed breathtaking performance during the last 90 days. For example, both Chain link(Crypto: link) And Uniswap(Crypto: uni) are up 55%. In order not to go too deep in weeds here, but the two are ERC-20 tokens, which means that they were designed to operate on Ethereum blockchain.
These two cryptocurrencies are direct games on the growth potential of decentralized finance, and in particular on the wave of new activities that occur in the Ethereum blockchain ecosystem. From my point of view, these DEFI tokens are exactly the types of cryptocurrencies which can explode later in 2025.
On the basis of the above, it is possible to constitute a convincing investment thesis for the second half of 2025. The wave of new cryptography laws from the United States, combined with the growing rate of the adoption of cryptography in the world, leads to new opportunities for DEFI token, and in particular those which take place at the head of the Ethereum blockchain. If a cryptocurrency will soon appear, it will probably be one of them.
It can be too late to enter Ethereum, but there are intriguing options that hide elsewhere in the Ethereum blockchain ecosystem. The one who has my attention is Ondo(Crypto: Ondo). It is currently classified n ° 38 among all cryptocurrencies, with a market capitalization of nearly $ 3 billion.
Ondo is also an ERC-20 token (just like Chainlink and Uniswap), but is probably out of the radars of most investors. It is only decreasing by 2% in the last 90 days, so it is essentially sunk to the elbow with Bitcoin.
What is tempting about Ondo is that it is a direct game on all the goodness that happens in Defi. It is a token mainly favored by institutional investors, and promises to bring “institutional quality” finance to the crypto.
Ondo is mainly used for the tokenization of real assets (RWA), which is one of the most popular investment ideas of defi at the moment. This refers to the process of transformation of active active people (such as shares and bonds) into blockchain assets.
This cryptocurrency also has the support of World Liberty FinancialThe Crypto Venture affiliated with the Trump family. In February, World Liberty Financial increased nearly $ 500,000 in Ondo tokens.
In addition, I have already seen a recent overview of the incredible update potential of Ondo. At the end of last year, Ondo more than tripled in value and reached a summit of $ 2.14. Given that Ondo is now negotiating for around $ 1, this implies that Ondo could have the potential to double the value, in order to regain its summit of all time. Ask Ondo to do much more than that, however, could be too much.
Be aware: it is notoriously difficult to choose the next big winner in crypto. Investment stories fall and disgrace. The coins come and go, and the upper cryptos can increase or descend, often based on an apparent reason. Risk and volatility are a problem every time you venture beyond bitcoin or ethereum.
But if you are ready to take the risk, it may be time to look for parts that have not yet jumped. The best investment opportunities are those linked to the Ethereum DEFI investment story. This JAS story has already worked with Chainlink and Uniswap, which are both increasing in the last 90 days.
Could we be the next one?
