July 2025 brought significant revitalization to the crypto market. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and even altcoins emerged from a state of clinical death. Is a bull market returning? Let's see which coins have a chance for solid growth. Maybe we can even guess something...

👑 Bitcoin ($BTC )

Bitcoin is the king of cryptocurrencies. A portfolio without a solid share of BTC is as sensible as a hybrid car without a combustion engine. It does the heaviest work, while other coins are important, but still just add-ons.

The most important fact is the establishment of an ATH at $124,100 on August 14, 2025. Right after that, the price of BTC started to fall, as did its dominance. This may indicate a run on altcoins, but the situation is uncertain. Fundamentally, large inflows into ETFs are strengthening BTC, and there is also noticeable institutional interest.

It's hard to say how long the positive trend will last. In the previous entry, we forecasted an ATH for the cycle at $140 and a bull market lasting until autumn 2025 - let this set some reference point.

💎 Ethereum ($ETH )

Everything suggests that Ethereum has finally awakened from a deep sleep. Since the low in April, it has earned almost 200% and on August 14, 2025 it was already priced above $4700. Currently, the entire market is undergoing a correction, and ETH is along with it.

Despite competition from other chains, Ethereum is still the pillar of Web3, driven by the development of DeFi, NFTs, and dApps. To stay in shape, the chain ensures regular introduction of new functionalities.

A significant step forward was the Pectra update. It improved user experiences, optimized Layer 2 operations, and staking. There is a chance that this will allow it to head towards a new ATH.

🚀 Solana ($SOL )

One of Ethereum's biggest rivals, offering two orders of magnitude higher throughput and significantly lower prices. Although in terms of TVL it lags behind Ethereum by almost ten times, it processes incomparably more transactions, peaking at even 100 million daily, while Ethereum processes from 1-2 million.

Despite the efforts of the older brother, this gap may widen. The planned Solana Alpenglow update will dramatically shorten transaction finalization time, from 10-15 seconds to 100-150 ms. This will allow Web3 applications to operate in real-time. When we add the planned implementation of an ultra-fast network client called Firedancer, the performance will be... well, amazing.

In this situation, a move from the current $180 all the way to the resistance around $270 is quite possible. A hundred dollars up. Maybe I'll even go long myself?

☀️ Binance Coin (BNB)

The Binance coin, unlike most altcoins, has long since returned to the glory days of 2021. The current valuation around $830 is already $40 higher than the previous ATH of $788 (established in December 2024). Later, perhaps, the sky is the limit?

The main catalyst for the increases is the $2 billion from the state fund MGX (UAE), which invested this amount in Binance. This definitely indicates a high level of trust in the ecosystem, and consequently - in the coin.

The buying pressure has increased due to the continuation of the BNB burning program. This was already the 32nd Burn, which sent tokens worth $1 billion to a dead address.

Fundamentally, the network benefited from the Maxwell upgrade, which increased the throughput of the BNB Chain by almost 50%. As a result, the chain is significantly faster than Ethereum, while maintaining greater reliability than Solana. It's a good combination.

Theoretically, BNB could reach even $1200. Personally, however, I would start systematically reducing my position after exceeding $800.

The symbol of DeFi and the oracle number 1. It provides reliable data for the vast majority of protocols operating in this industry. At the time of writing, it was trading at $14, significantly below its ATH (around $52 in May 2021).

Chainlink is maintaining its edge in the world of oracles by integrating new services. It is developing, among others, CCIP (Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol), allowing direct transfers and data exchange between over 20 blockchains.

CCIP is not everything. Chainlink is developing cooperation with SWIFT, a giant in bank transfers, and with Circle, the issuer of USDC. Collaboration with Vodafone or Telefónica GSM proves the usefulness of Chainlink not only in the financial industry.

Purely subjectively: if the correction deepens, a price below $20 will seem quite attractive. Especially if we are thinking more about long-term holding rather than quick speculation.

🏭 Hedera (HBAR)

A fast and efficient blockchain, targeting enterprise servicing. It has strong support from industry giants like Google and IBM. Adding partnerships with Boeing, Deutsche Telekom, LG, or Nomura shows that it is a company in the unsinkable segment.

The architecture of Hedera provides a throughput of up to 10,000 TPS, finalization time of under 3 seconds, and very low transaction fees. Although it is not natively compatible with EVM networks, it attracts the DeFi sector and enterprises related to the tokenization of RWA.

From an investor's perspective, Hedera is a somewhat risky bet. It is no longer cheap - it has already risen 5 times since the low in October 2024. On the other hand, it is still more than 50% away from the ATH of September 2021.

If the bull market continues, it seems reasonable to test the level of 37 cents. What will happen next - we will see.

🤖 NEAR Protocol (NEAR)

Chain - a puzzle, on one hand efficient and promising, on the other rarely attracting the attention of investors. Its advantage is the unique sharding architecture (Nightshade) and the systematic development of Chain Abstraction features.

Developers like this blockchain for its convenient tools, good UX, and the ability to deploy dApps without the need to manage wallets or bridges. An important segment is also AI integrations, developing within the trend of the 'AI economy'. This contributes to an increase in the number of users - nearly 50 million monthly!

In August 2025, the price of NEAR is low. The level of $2.5 means that the potential for growth is quite substantial - in December 2024 it cost nearly $8. However, whether it will significantly rise in price before the current bull market ends - it is unknown.

After Bitcoin's ATH breakout, the market momentarily doesn't know what to do. Both widespread profit-taking, resulting in a solid correction, and the beginning of a small altseason are possible. The only thing that is completely certain is this - at this moment you should not invest more than let's say 20% of your funds. The risk is too high relative to the potential profits.
