2025’s 4 Must-Watch Altcoins: Buy Low Now, Reap Massive Gains Later
Crypto's sleeping giants are stirring—here's where smart money's stacking silently before the next bull run.
1. Ethereum (ETH): The DeFi Juggernaut
Still the backbone of decentralized finance—ignored institutions will FOMO back in once ETF approvals hit.
2. Solana (SOL): The Speed Demon
400ms transaction times keep crushing Visa's legacy rails. Retail traders haven't forgotten the 2021 pump.
3. Chainlink (LINK): The Oracle Whisperer
Real-world data feeds are boring until you realize every institutional DeFi play needs them.
4. Polkadot (DOT): The Interoperability Play
Parachains are solving crypto's Tower of Babel problem—while Wall Street still thinks 'blockchain' means Bitcoin.
Remember: These picks require diamond hands—because nothing makes bankers seethe like 1000% gains happening outside their precious NYSE.
Bitcoin made a solid recovery over the weekend, helping to push the broader crypto market higher. As BTC gains strength, several altcoins are also seeing upward movement. According to an analyst, four names: SEI, ENA, SUI, and Aptos, are standing out for their recent performance. But are they a ‘good buy’ right now?
SEI is one of the fastest-growing altcoins right now. Backed by Circle, SEI’s Total Value Locked (TVL) has surged from $28 million at the end of 2024 to over $600 million in 2025. The blockchain has also seen a huge rise in activity, with more weekly transactions than ethereum and Arbitrum. Its price is currently around $0.33 and could rise to $0.54 if the trend continues.
ENA is also turning heads thanks to a $260 million buyback plan spread across 60 weeks. Ethena is performing well, even beating Circle and PancakeSwap in earnings. However, ENA’s price is currently sitting at an important resistance level, which could make it risky to buy right now. A better strategy might be to wait for a pullback or some consolidation before buying.
SUI is another altcoin on the rise. Its daily trading volume recently hit $2.34 billion, and its stablecoin transactions are now double those of Solana. However, a large token unlock of $240 million is scheduled for August 1, which could lead to short-term selling. If the market dips, it might offer a good chance to buy sui before its next major move.
Aptos has gained support from big names like BlackRock and Franklin Templeton and is one of the few projects close to getting a US ETF. Still, the price hasn’t broken out yet. A MOVE above $6.14 could mean the start of a bigger rally. Until then, it may be wise to watch and wait.
