Bitcoin's price has surpassed $100,000 and is now trading near $104,000. This rise is also seeing altcoins increase; some are now testing key resistance levels that have held for weeks. Amid this bullish market activity, cryptocurrency analyst Altcoin Daily shared a list of 14 altcoins that may rise in May 2025. First, three coins from his picks among the top 10 by market cap:

Altcoin Daily's picks for the best coins for the May 2025 surge

1. Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum shows strength once again. In the last 24 hours, Ethereum surged, and institutions are moving towards increasing its adoption.

Coinbase added 21,000 Ethereum to its treasury in the last quarter, now holding over 140,000 Ethereum, worth about $315 million. Institutions launching second layer networks like Kraken, Worldcoin, and Uniswap are also adopting ETH as a treasury asset, pushing Ethereum closer to the 'store of value' category.

XRP is gaining new momentum, this time in the pharmaceutical sector. Florida-based Wellgistics Health will integrate XRP for real-time vendor payments in a $50 million deal. The speed of XRP (settlement within 3-5 seconds) and improved clarity from U.S. regulators are driving XRP's adoption for business.
