DeepSeek, the Chinese artificial intelligence platform, identified the altcoins with the highest potential in 2025 based on key trends and fundamentals. Surprisingly, the AI did not include Ethereum in its selection, as the cryptocurrency has shown weaknesses throughout the year, reflected in a decline of more than 22% in its price.

The altcoins highlighted by DeepSeek

It's surprising that Ethereum is not on the list. Instead, the AI highlighted three altcoins with great potential:

- Solana: Highlighted for its high processing speed (65,000 TPS) and reduced costs, making it attractive for DeFi and NFT projects. If it can resolve its stability issues, it could surpass Ethereum in adoption. Its price could reach between 500 and 850 USD in 2025.

- Avalanche: Its potential lies in customizable subnets for institutions and its strategic alliances with financial entities, such as JPMorgan. If these collaborations materialize, its price could quadruple, reaching approximately 100 USD.

- Sui: Notable for its blockchains with Move technology, considered more secure than Solidity. Its main focus is on the gaming sector and large-scale DeFi.

In addition, DeepSeek mentioned two cryptocurrencies linked to artificial intelligence: Render and Fetch.ai.
