Missed XRP or BTC? Here Are Altcoins With Real Potential in 2025

Altcoins have been showing signs of life recently, and many are wondering if a big altcoin rally is around the corner. This comes alongside the release of the U.S. crypto market structure bill, which could change the way cryptocurrencies are regulated in the country.

The new law changes how certain cryptocurrencies are regulated, classifying some of them as “digital commodities.” This means they will now be overseen by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), instead of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). 

Analyst Dagnum P.I. sees this as a big win for utility tokens like Cardano (ADA), Algorand (ALGO), Avalanche (AVAX), Hedera (HBAR), and BlockDAG (DAG), all of which rely on staking and node operations. These tokens can now be distributed as rewards for activities like running nodes or verifying data, without being labeled as sales of securities or commodities.

“Whole world of Utility beyond $BTC $XRP that are about to be unleashed,” the analyst said. 

What’s Next For Altcoins?

Cardano (ADA), for example, is making headlines as its developer activity has even outpaced Ethereum’s. Whale activity has been strong too, with over 420 million ADA tokens being added recently. ADA is now trading at $0.6759, up over 2% in the past 24 hours.

An analyst observed bullish signs for Algorand (ALGO). The MACD indicator is about to turn positive for the first time since September 2024, which could mean the start of an uptrend. If ALGO can close above $0.25 on the weekly chart, it could trigger a rally similar to the one it saw in late 2024..

Avalanche (AVAX), which is seen as a top player in the layer-1 space, is holding steady around $19.84, with a market cap over $8 billion. Hedera (HBAR) is experiencing some price swings, but analysts believe it could be preparing for a big move. It’s currently trading at $0.1764, with support levels around $0.146 and $0.171.

BlockDAG, a new blockchain project, is also gaining attention for its strong potential and growing hype. It’s expected to be a top investment in 2025.
