Bitcoin has surged past the $100,000 mark and is now trading near $104,000, sparking a strong rally across the broader crypto market. This bullish momentum is pushing several altcoins higher, with many testing resistance levels that have held firm for weeks. Amid this backdrop, popular crypto analyst Altcoin Daily has released a list of 14 altcoins poised for potential breakouts in May 2025. Notably, three of these picks are from the top 10 by market capitalization.
Top Altcoin Picks from the Market Leaders
1. Ethereum (ETH): Ethereum is once again demonstrating strength, bolstered by growing institutional interest. In the last quarter, Coinbase added 21,000 ETH to its treasury, bringing its total holdings to over 140,000 ETH—currently worth around $315 million. Additionally, major projects like Kraken, Worldcoin, and Uniswap are adopting Ethereum as a treasury asset and launching Layer-2 networks, further cementing ETH's role as a store-of-value asset.
2. XRP: XRP is gaining momentum, particularly in the pharmaceutical sector. Florida-based Wellgistics Health plans to use XRP for real-time vendor payments in a $50 million integration, highlighting the coin's speed and regulatory clarity. With transaction times of just 3–5 seconds, XRP’s utility for business payments continues to grow.
3. Cardano (ADA): Cardano is charting its own course by building infrastructure and integrating with Bitcoin. Its partner project, World Mobile Token, is expanding connectivity solutions and may become a “partner chain” within Cardano’s Midnight framework. Founder Charles Hoskinson remains vocal in support of these developments.
Altcoin Daily’s Additional Breakout Candidates
Beyond the top caps, Altcoin Daily’s list includes 11 more altcoins with breakout potential:
- Ondo Finance: Collaborating with giants like BlackRock, Ondo is bringing real-world assets such as bonds onto the blockchain and has met with the SEC’s crypto team.
- BORG Token: The utility token behind SwissBorg’s ecosystem, BORG is expanding to Hyperliquid—nicknamed the “Binance of DEXs”—with most of its supply staked or locked.
- COTI: Originally launched on Cardano and now active on Ethereum, COTI is focused on privacy and tokenizing real-world assets. It’s working with the European Central Bank and governments across Africa and the Middle East.
- Foxy: A meme coin tied to Ethereum’s Linea Layer-2 network, Foxy is gaining attention for its branding and community engagement.
- Chainlink (LINK): A cornerstone of blockchain infrastructure, Chainlink continues to bridge real-world data and blockchain applications as traditional finance enters the crypto space.
Other rising stars include Solana, Sui, and Supra, all showing rapid growth. Injective is innovating with tokenized U.S. stocks, Paid Network is streamlining crypto crowdfunding, and RSC (ResearchHub)—backed by Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong—is leveraging blockchain for scientific research.
