The optimism of experts regarding the future of cryptocurrencies in 2025 is largely associated with comments made by Donald Trump. After winning the presidential election, he made a series of loud statements in the middle of last year. In particular, he promised that the U.S. would become the world leader in the field of cryptocurrencies, and Bitcoin would take its place as a reserve currency. This means that the government will keep part of its gold and foreign currency reserves in BTC. Moreover, in July, Trump emphasized that during his administration, no Bitcoin owned by the U.S. government would be sold.
Both short-term (1–2 months) and long-term investments (up to one year) in leading cryptocurrencies can be profitable. At the same time, the main focus should be on the most liquid digital assets:
Bitcoin (BTC);
Ethereum (ETH);
XRP;
BNB;
Solana (SOL);
Dogecoin (DOGE).
Although investments in these coins do not guarantee a hundred percent profit, high liquidity, sustained investor interest, and active trading significantly simplify the process of buying and selling them.
However, investor interest is attracted not only by well-known cryptocurrencies. One of the popular strategies is to search for undervalued promising projects that are capable of sharply increasing in price. This approach is inspired by the famous story when 10,000 bitcoins were paid for two pizzas in 2010.
Of course, the prospect of finding a 'dark horse', buying its tokens at a low price, and becoming a millionaire in a couple of years looks enticing. However, in practice, such an outcome is unlikely. Although new cryptocurrencies appear regularly, most of them do not gain widespread support and do not become truly in demand. And popularity is often a key factor determining the value of a digital asset.
However, among the less noticeable projects, there are still those that have good prospects — primarily due to the real benefits they offer. Below are some of these:
VeChain (VET) — a project aimed at creating a platform for decentralized applications in supply chain management. Existing since 2015, it is already used by companies such as BMW, LVMH, and Walmart, which enhances investor confidence.
Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) — an alternative distributed ledger technology characterized by high speed, scalability, and security. The project is supported by giants like Google and IBM.
StormX (STMX) — a platform for earning cryptocurrency cashback for purchases in online stores. The STMX token serves as the internal reward unit.
Solaxy (SOLX) — a second-layer solution related to the Solana blockchain. The project focuses on optimizing network scalability by processing transactions and integrating them back into the main chain. By the beginning of 2025, the project had already attracted $8.9 million in investments and offers a reward system for early participants.
Choosing an investment strategy is a personal decision that must be made independently. One should not rely solely on the advice of friends, relatives, or even professional analysts. It is important to first study the topic in depth, relying on a variety of information sources. Only after that should a conscious investment decision be made.
Friends, like-minded individuals, I would be interested to know your opinion in the comments.
