Bitcoin is the most recommended, but other altcoins have also gained space.
Bitcoin (BTC) closed May with the pedal to the metal: it appreciated almost 11% in the month, fueled by growing institutional appetite through ETFs (exchange-traded funds), regulatory advances in the United States, and favorable statements from Donald Trump about the sector.
And the positive tide of the market's leading cryptocurrency, priced around US$ 104,000 on this Monday (2), seems far from turning. Seven of the 10 firms sought by InfoMoney, including exchanges, crypto platforms, and research companies, recommend holding the asset in portfolios in June and also in the long term.
"The proposal of 'digital gold' for Bitcoin gains strength in a context of increasing institutional adoption, with American states proposing strategic BTC reserves and discussions about a federal reserve," said Valter Rebelo, head of crypto assets at Empiricus.
But the enthusiasm is not limited to BTC. Other tokens have also gained space in recommendations. Below, check out the five most recommended digital assets for this month – only those present in at least three different investment portfolios have been listed.
Bitcoin (BTC)
The largest cryptocurrency in the industry renewed its all-time high in May, which already makes it an asset to watch, said Beto Fernandes, an analyst at Foxbit. In addition, he mentioned that there is also optimism surrounding the asset, precisely because of its performance. "Not surprisingly, capital flows remain steady, with ETFs once again recording investments at levels not seen since November of last year," the specialist said.
Ethereum (ETH)
Expectations are positive for Ethereum, the second-largest crypto in the market, with analysts pointing to potential to break the US$ 3,000 barrier. "It is forming an ascending triangle pattern, with supports at US$ 2,800 and US$ 1,880, and resistances at US$ 2,800 and US$ 3,000. It benefits from growing institutional preference and continuous advances in its ecosystem following the transition to Proof-of-Stake (a type of algorithm)," said Guilherme Fais, head of finance at NovaDax.
Solana (SOL)
Solana is expected to perform positively in June, believes Rony Szuster, head of research at Mercado Bitcoin. There are plenty of reasons. "There are more than 210 decentralized applications available in the project, which allowed the total value locked in its network (TVL) to reach US$ 18 billion, already occupying the 2nd position among all blockchains in the market in this metric. In addition, the asset may soon have a spot ETF on the American stock exchange, potentially providing even the resource for staking (a passive income method), greatly enhancing the entry of institutional capital."
Aave (AAVE)
It is one of the tokens that tend to recover more strongly when the market resumes its upward direction. This is because it has a smaller capitalization and greater asymmetry of appreciation in positive cycles compared to Bitcoin, according to Israel Buzaym, Country Manager of Bybit Brazil. "This is an opportune moment for attentive traders looking for short-term asymmetries. Deep corrections in technically relevant tokens open up room for operations with exponential potential."
Uniswap (UNI)
Uniswap underwent updates last year that improved its scalability and reduced its fees, which has already impacted the numbers. According to the DeFiLlama platform, the project moved more than US$ 73 billion in May, surpassing April's volume by more than 30%. "Given the growing adoption, technical improvements, and institutional relevance, Uniswap makes our list of the most promising cryptocurrencies for June, with real appreciation potential in the short and medium term," wrote Taiamã Demaman, head of research at Coinext, in a recent report.
