5 Blue-Chip Altcoins to Buy Now as Nasdaq 100 Shatters Records (June 2025)

Wall Street's darling hits new highs—while crypto's heavyweights quietly prep their next rally. Here's where smart money's rotating when traditional markets get frothy.

Ethereum (ETH): The institutional gateway drug

BNB: Binance's battered but unkillable cash machine

Solana (SOL): The speed demon eating Ethereum's lunch

XRP: The regulatory punching bag that won't die

Cardano (ADA): Academia's favorite 'ghost chain' finally delivering?

Remember: These picks require diamond hands—unlike your average FAANG stock investor who panics at a 2% dip. (Looking at you, Nasdaq paper hands.)

Best altcoins to buy today ahead of the bull run

The bullish Bitcoin pattern and the surging S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices may trigger the next crypto bull run. Some of the top altcoins to buy are Sei (SEI), Aptos (APT), and Aerodrome Finance (AERO).

1. Sei 

Sei is one of the best-positioned altcoins ahead of the next bull run. It’s a fast-growing EVM-compatible chain gaining traction in gaming, DeFi, and stablecoins. It’s also under consideration to run Wyoming’s stablecoin initiative.

The Sei Price has risen from a year-to-date low of $0.1315 to a high of $0.3337 on June 25. It recently broke through resistance at $0.2767, invalidating the previous double-top formation.

With the price now above both the 50-day and 100-day moving averages and the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement, further gains are likely. Bulls may target the 50% retracement level at $0.4340.

2. Aptos 

is another promising altcoin as equity indices rise. Like Sei, it’s aslowly gaining traction. According to DeFi Llama’s data, Aptos-based DEXs processed over $4 billion in the past 30 days, with a total value locked (TVL) of $1.3 billion, ranking it 12th in the industry.

APT price has formed a double-bottom at $3.88, with the neckline at $6.30. This bullish pattern points to a potential breakout, with an upside target NEAR $10 if the neckline is breached.

3. Aerodrome Finance 

Aerodrome Finance is a leading DEX on the Base blockchain, processing billions in monthly trading volume.

The AERO price has rallied from a low of $0.2963 in April to $0.80 as of June 27. It has formed an ascending triangle pattern and is hovering near the 23.6% retracement level. A mini golden cross, where the 50-day moving average crosses above the 100-day MA, has formed, a bullish signal. If momentum holds, the next target is the $2 resistance level.
