One of the most important years for the crypto sector has begun and it has started in the best possible way with the recent recovery of the main altcoins in addition to the arrival of very interesting news that have rekindled the flame of a possible alt season.
I am going to try to thoroughly analyze the latest report published by kry Kill in which they have revealed which were the most prominent altcoins for the year 2025 and their predictions for the possible alt season.
The 20 Altcoins with the most potential for 2025
Grayscale talks about its famous top 20, in which after analyzing hundreds of projects to be able to prepare an analysis of the most prominent sectors, Grayscale Research has prepared a list with the 20 projects that it considers to be the main ones.
A top 20 that does not focus on a specific sector but rather includes several projects from different sectors that have been classified by their catalysts, sustainability, future risks, fundamentals and inflation, thus representing a set of assets that they indicate have great potential during the next quarter. They have also indicated that in this quarter they have exclusively classified tokens that are related to one of the three main themes of the market.

This list presents some important changes compared to last year. Starting with the losses, in this case Grayscale has decided to eliminate six projects from the top, including TON, Near, Stacks, Maker (Sky), UMA Protocol, and Celo, stating that they are not eliminating them because they have lost faith in these projects or they do not have potential, but because after reviewing the top, although they see value in these six options, they believe that they may be less interesting than the new additions.

And continuing with the new additions, Grayscale has added six new projects. To this top, first of all, we have Hyperliquid, a layer 1 blockchain that has been specifically designed to optimize and revolutionize decentralized financial trading, all with the aim of allowing perpetual futures and other financial products to be operated in a transparent and efficient manner. A project with a great technological focus that, after a spectacular 2024 with more than 600% growth, has reached the top 25 of Coin Market Cap. According to Grayscale, it could continue to surprise us in the face of 2025.
Secondly, we have Ecena, a blockchain project that seeks to revolutionize the stable coin market by creating a model supported mainly by positions covered in bitcoin and ether, and here we have its main stable coin, USDe, which combines innovative features of stability, decentralization and ability, making it one of the most interesting projects within the defy ecosystem, something that makes it especially interesting and attractive at an institutional level, a factor that could give it a lot of potential for 2025. And although its 2024 has not been as brilliant as hype, it also points to ways for this quarter.
Thirdly, we have Virtual, a project that offers a platform for the creation of AI agents based on one of the most popular narratives right now and that is also based on an ecosystem that is in full growth, factors that have led Virtual to skyrocket by more than 8400% in the last year, which is a real outrage.
In fourth place we have Jupiter, the main dex aggregator of solana
that as the solana network continues to attract the attention of investors, it will promote projects with prominence within its ecosystem. Such as Jupiter, and although in this case we have a performance in the last year, it has positioned itself in a very good place for 2025.
In fifth place we have jte, a project with a protocol that takes liquidity in solana and that has experienced substantial growth in its adoption over the last year and offers one of the best financial profiles of all cryptocurrencies, generating more than 550 million in commission income throughout 2024.
And finally we have grass, which in case you haven't heard of it, is a decentralized data network that rewards users for sharing their unused internet bandwidth through a Chrome extension. This bandwidth is used to extract data online which is then sold to artificial intelligence companies and developers to train machine learning models, which allows them to extract data from the web and compensate their users.
Well that's all gentlemen, I hope this post helps you a little more about the great world of Cryptocurrencies
