3 Altcoins Poised to Shatter Records by May 2025

Forget ’safe bets’—these digital underdogs are gearing up to smash their all-time highs. Here’s what’s fueling their rockets.

BNB: The Exchange Token That Eats Competitors for Breakfast

Binance’s native token keeps defying gravity—liquidity burns and ecosystem growth could send it past $1,000 before Wall Street finishes its morning coffee.

Solana: The Speed Demon Finally Hitting Its Stride

400ms transaction times meet institutional interest. Network outages? Ancient history. SOL’s infrastructure play makes ETH maximalists sweat.

Avalanche: The Institutional Trojan Horse

Subnet adoption is exploding while hedge funds nod approvingly. AVAX doesn’t need mainstream attention—it’s too busy printing private blockchain deals.

Will they actually deliver? Who knows. But in a market where ’fundamentals’ means ’whatever pumps next,’ these three have more runway than most. Just don’t tell your financial advisor.

Pi Network (PI)

PI was one of the most hyped crypto launches of 2025, but after hitting an all-time high on February 27, the token entered a long correction, trading below $1 between March 21 and May 11.

That trend has now reversed sharply—PI price is up over 121% in the last seven days and just broke back above $1 for the first time since late March, showing strong signs of renewed momentum.

This price surge comes ahead of a major Pi Network ecosystem update set for May 14. The project also climbed to #6 among Finland’s top social apps, adding to recent excitement.

Meanwhile, speculation is growing about a potential Binance listing, further fueling interest.

If momentum holds, PI could target $1.79 and $2 next. If bulls remain in control, the token may even attempt a new all-time high despite still being 127% below its February peak.

SUI

SUI has become one of the hottest altcoins recently, rallying 84% over the last 30 days and 20% in the past week alone.

The token broke above $4 for the first time since January 31, fueled by strong on-chain activity, rising DEX volume, and growing institutional interest.

SUI is now just 28.7% below its all-time high, and if the uptrend continues, it could soon test resistance levels at $4.24 and $4.75 — and potentially break above $5.30 to reach a new all-time high.

On-chain metrics show over 1 million new wallet addresses being created daily, with more than 80% of active addresses coming from new users.

DEX volume is consistently above $500 million, and the stablecoin market cap on the network has reached $885 million. The rise of meme coins and a new partnership with 21Shares have further boosted interest in the ecosystem.

SUI has also overtaken solana in recent institutional inflows, signaling that smart money may be rotating into this emerging Layer 1.

FARTCOIN

FARTCOIN has stood out in the market over the past two months, climbing roughly 600% between March 10 and May 12—during a period when most altcoins were in decline.

It’s now ranked as the sixth-largest meme coin by market cap, surpassing well-known names like WIF, FLOKI, and BRETT.

The momentum hasn’t slowed down, with FARTCOIN up nearly 31% in the past week alone. If the current trend holds, the token could test key resistance levels at $1.61 and $1.98.

A break above $2 WOULD mark its first time reclaiming that level since January. From there, an 86.5% rally would be needed to challenge its all-time high.
