🔍 What to look for in altcoins (in 2025, not 2021)
The alt market is heating up again. But this time, it’s not 2021 — and not every random token will moon.
Here’s a simple checklist to filter serious upside from noise 👇
➡️ Narrative + mindshare
Top performers don’t always have fundamentals, but they do dominate X. Memes, AI, gaming — if it’s trending, mindshare matters more than logic.
➡️ Growing metrics
TVL, revenue, fees — if usage is up and there’s buzz on X, you’re early. Tools: DeFiLlama, Coingecko Gainers tab.
➡️ Tokenomics that don’t nuke the chart
Avoid heavy unlocks and inflation bombs. Look for 30%+ circulating supply and no major unlocks on the horizon.
➡️ Community-first teams
Big airdrops, team-led hype, constant overdelivery — these are the new green flags. Think HYPE and PENGU.
➡️ Unpriced catalysts
Tokenomics upgrades, product launches, major integrations — these often hit harder than any announcement.
Even the best token is a bad buy at the wrong price.
Let the setup come to you — not the other way around.
