The digital assets market is preparing for a busy 2025. Attention is focused on leading cryptocurrencies that may lead the cycle. This overview examines key projects including BlockDAG, Hyperliquid, Cardano, and NEAR Protocol.
Rising Interest in BlockDAG
BlockDAG is grabbing attention with a successful presale showing strong demand. The current price of BDAG coins is $0.0276, and analysts predict a rise to $1 post-listing, suggesting a potential 36x profit for early investors. Over $377 million has already been secured towards a $600 million target. The project shows steady growth thanks to its unique technology, blending DAG and Proof-of-Work for fast and secure transaction processing. Mining activation and dApp launches further indicate active project development.
Hyperliquid at Full Throttle
Hyperliquid continues to set records, reporting $29 billion in trading volume within 24 hours and $7.7 million in fees. The price of HYPE jumped nearly 19% within the week, reaching about $48.57. The increase in total value locked ($610 million) confirms the project’s seriousness, as 97% of revenue is directed toward buybacks of its tokens.
Prospects for Cardano and NEAR
Cardano (ADA) is regaining strength after several months of consolidation, breaking through the $1 level and showing a 26.8% gain for the week. Analysts suggest a potential rally of 100–150%. NEAR Protocol shows volatility yet maintains investor interest. Trading between $2.78 and $3.05, NEAR experiences significant institutional sales, but simultaneously records a rise due to sustained inflows and active platform development.
As 2025 approaches, the competition among cryptocurrencies intensifies. BlockDAG, Hyperliquid, Cardano, and NEAR represent different benefits and strategies, poised for future growth. Investors should keep a close eye on these projects to understand which may become leaders in the upcoming cycle.
