Chainlink and Hedera show strong fundamentals with consistent development and high-profile scores, despite short-term price declines.
POL and HYPE maintain investor attention through ecosystem upgrades and DeFi utility, outperforming legacy coins like.
Fartcoin gains on market resilience, posting positive returns even as trading volume drops sharply, signalling high-risk short-term upside
Chainlink, POL, HYPE, Fartcoin, and Hedera tokens are some of the tokens that are demonstrating robust metrics and technical configurations as Q3 of 2025 draws close and thus have the potential to dominate the next quarter. These five holdings are gaining increasing attention due to their strong underlying business, astute positioning, and ability to perform in tricky market environments.
Chainlink Gains Momentum Chainlink Gains Momentum
Chainlink (LINK) has also become a solid candidate going into Q3 of 2025, and is currently priced at $12.98 at the time of writing. The asset also fell by 2.57% in line with the rest of the market on a daily scale. Even amid the temporary decline, Chainlink remains a project to pay attention to because of its active development and the presence of institutional partners. It has a total circulating supply of 657.09 million LINK, a market cap of $8.53 billion and a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of $12.98 billion.

Chainlink experienced a sudden decrease in trading volume over the past day, as it fell by more than 60 percent to $269 million, showing that the activity of investors has declined temporarily. Nevertheless, the token has a volatility-to-market-cap ratio of 3.21% that indicates a continued appetite for speculative positions. While the price dropped from a daily high of $13.45, the project’s role in decentralized oracle infrastructure suggests it may outperform larger-cap assets like in the upcoming quarter.
POL Rallies Post-Rebrand Despite Bearish Pressure
POL, previously known as MATIC, is priced at $0.1996 after shedding 2.04% in daily value. Although the asset has shown a sideways-to-downward trend since peaking at $0.2043, POL has remained on investors' radar following its rebranding and ecosystem transition. The token’s market cap and FDV are aligned at $2.08 billion, with a fully circulating supply of 10.44 billion tokens, reflecting a completed token unlock.

Daily trading volume has fallen by nearly 50% to $99.9 million, suggesting reduced trading participation. The project’s current profile score of 48% may reflect cautious investor sentiment during the adjustment period. Nonetheless, the consistency in supply metrics and POL’s ongoing technical upgrades position it as a candidate for price recovery once market confidence rebounds. The asset remains one of the few rebranded projects maintaining visibility amid broader market fluctuations.
HYPE Stands Out with Robust Market Metrics
Hyperliquid (HYPE) is trading at $40.27, posting a 2.02% daily decline amid reduced market activity. Trading volume dropped significantly to $268 million, a decrease of over 62%. Despite the pullback, the token has held substantial gains in prior months, backed by a $13.44 billion market cap and an FDV of $40.27 billion. With only 333.92 million HYPE tokens currently in circulation out of a 1 billion total supply, future token unlocks may influence price action in Q3.

The project’s unlocked market cap stands at $12.45 billion, further supporting the argument for ongoing investor interest. While the profile score of 52% reflects mixed sentiment, HYPE’s market cap performance and liquidity metrics demonstrate a strong foundation. The asset's continued expansion in decentralized finance utilities could position it to outperform slower-moving legacy coins.
Fartcoin Maintains Gains Despite Volume Decline
Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) has registered a modest daily increase of 1.07%, currently trading at $1.16. Its market cap and FDV both stand at $1.16 billion, with nearly all of the 1 billion token supply already in circulation. The asset posted early-session highs above $1.22 before experiencing a gradual pullback to the $1.10 range.

Although trading volume has dropped over 57% to $240.6 million, Fartcoin has shown price resilience under low liquidity conditions. The asset’s profile score sits at 48%, indicating limited community or institutional traction for now. However, its ability to maintain value in a downward-trending market may give it an advantage if risk appetite increases among traders in Q3. It remains on watchlists as a potential high-volatility asset for short-term moves.
Hedera Declines but Shows Long-Term Strength
Hedera (HBAR) is currently priced at $0.1533, reflecting a 2.09% drop in the last 24 hours. The decline follows a late-session selloff, which erased earlier stability throughout the day. HBAR holds a market cap of $6.47 billion, with a fully diluted valuation of $7.66 billion. The token has 42.23 billion units in circulation from a total capped supply of 50 billion, showing strong liquidity.

Despite the short-term loss, HBAR maintains a high profile score of 85%, indicating solid fundamentals and community trust. Trading volume declined sharply to $99.39 million, down nearly 62%, suggesting temporary market disengagement. However, given its strong development environment and enterprise-grade integrations, HBAR is well-positioned for potential recovery and growth through the third quarter.
