Bitcoin has reached a new all-time high above $125,000, but market history shows this is only the first stage. After each Bitcoin rally, investors often move profits into other digital assets. This shift in liquidity can trigger strong gains for select altcoins. Here are five that analysts are keeping an eye on:
Cardano (ADA): Institutional Demand Rises
Cardano is under the radar as talk grows around a possible ETF approval. The U.S. government shutdown could delay this process, but interest remains steady. The recent Plomin hard fork introduced full on-chain governance, and eToro has brought back ADA staking in the United States. Data also shows large holders bought more than 70 million ADA last week. If the price moves above $0.95, ADA could target $1.95 in the coming months.
Sui (SUI): Expanding DeFi Network
The Sui network is also seeing growth across its ecosystem. Its total value locked climbed to a record $2.55 billion, according to DeFiLlama. Futures trading on Sui will go live on October 20, while its hardware wallet, Sui Ball, sold out within two days. SUI trades around $3.62, showing resilience during the current market pullback.
Solana (SOL): Stablecoin Growth Surges
Solana has recorded the fastest stablecoin growth among major chains, rising more than 650 percent since early 2023. Vision Systems AI, a China-based firm, plans to invest $2 billion in SOL. This adds to existing institutional support. Solana trades near $230, and a weekly close above $260 could lift it toward $520.
Chainlink (LINK): Strength in Real-World Integration
Chainlink continues to expand its role in global finance. Its partnership with SWIFT has positioned it as a key bridge between banks and blockchain systems. The project also won the SWIFT Hackathon 2025, outperforming major financial institutions. LINK trades near $22, and a move above $23 could push it to $27, with room for further growth if momentum holds.
Sei Network (SEI): Institutional Interest Builds
Sei Network is attracting institutional attention through several partnerships. Apollo Global deployed its $840 billion fund on Sei through Securitize, while PayPalโs PYUSD stablecoin went live on the network. A recent golden cross between the 50 and 100 SMAs shows improving technical strength. SEI trades around $0.29 and could see more volume if positive momentum continues.
