Crypto Market Surges: Top Crypto Investments for rest of 2025 Bull Market

4 min read

As the crypto market breaks into what could potentially be the final, and possibly the most prolific stage of the bull run, what could be the best crypto investments for those looking to enter this sector? To begin with, much caution should be taken by investors about to take the plunge at this stage of the crypto bull market, especially if you have little to no knowledge of crypto. This is an incredibly volatile market, and novices enter at your peril. What kind of assets are there on offer in crypto? The assets in this sector might all come under the umbrella of ‘ cryptocurrencies ’, but just as in the stock market, there are categories that contain plenty of variety. Firstly, there is Bitcoin – all in a category of its own because it accounts for nearly 64% of the entire crypto market. This is the grade A investment. Blackrock, the biggest asset manager in the world, is buying BTC for clients at a phenomenal rate. Some of the US Spot Bitcoin ETFs , launched over 17 months ago, are the most successful ever. That said, would you want to be investing your money into an asset that has already climbed 600% since the bull market began in January 2023? Layer 1 blockchains (large caps) The second sector is the ‘layer 1’ blockchains. These include the likes of Ethereum (ETH), Binance Chain (BNB), Solana (SOL), Cardano, (ADA), Tron (TRX), and Sui (SUI). These are also relatively stable cryptocurrencies, at least when compared with the ‘small-caps’. They are the big smart contract platforms, and as such, they provide the base layer for other cryptocurrencies and dApps to be built upon. The rest of crypto The third category mentioned here is basically the rest of crypto. These include medium, and small cap cryptocurrencies. These are generally termed the ‘alts’, which comes from the term ‘altcoin’ (alternative coin), although any cryptocurrency outside of Bitcoin is also basically an ‘alt’. These three categories contain all the cryptocurrencies. Although there are plenty of categories within categories, I will just mention one of these, because it is the sub-category that seems to attract most first-time investors into crypto. This is the ‘memecoin’ sector. What is a memecoin? While many cryptocurrencies will have some kind of value proposition to them, memecoins in the main will have absolutely nothing but fresh air behind them. It is important to remember that when you buy a memecoin, you are buying something akin to a lottery ticket, in that the chance of you cashing out winnings and not taking a loss, are rather small. Probably, most investors who buy memecoins aren’t traders, and they might therefore buy when the memecoin is near its top, and sell when it is approaching the bottom. As a rule of thumb, only around 5% or so of investors will ever beat the market in any particular year. Investing Now that the crypto market has a very general categorisation, what could a speculator invest in? Obviously, this very much depends on your tolerance for risk, and the amount of money you choose to invest. It is quite critical to understand that reading one or two articles on the internet does not make anyone an expert. Before making any investment, plenty of research should be done. Also, because of the high-risk nature of investing, and particularly so in crypto, buying with only a small percentage of your investment is perhaps a good start. Finally, there is short-term and long-term investing. Short-term investing carries far more risk, and is a bit like betting at a roulette wheel. The house (the exchange) is generally working against you, and is able to deploy algorithms that can even liquidate the professionals. Therefore, it’s probably better that the newbie investor into crypto thinks more long term. Where Bitcoin is concerned, a timeline of at least 4 or 5 years can be a better investment. Fiat currency is the worst asset to keep your savings in, so a sound money store of value such as Bitcoin or gold is much more likely to pay off over the long run. What about the other cryptocurrencies? The truth is, that unless you invested into cryptocurrencies at the beginning of the bull market, they have only become riskier as the bull market draws towards its end. Yes, there will likely still be opportunities for some potential great gains from some of the altcoins, but once again, if you are not an expert in this space, your likelihood of picking those winners will be slim. However, if you decide that losing 10% or more of your purchasing power each year by holding onto your dollar, pound, yen, or whatever fiat currency it is, is too much to bear, and that you feel you are forced to speculate in order to keep your head above water, perhaps a small investment into the altcoins could be a possibility. Spend some time on YouTube, get lucky, and find an expert that is not being paid to shill some altcoin or other. There are plenty of good people out there with a wealth of knowledge that can give you an edge. You just have to find them. Good luck in your journey, and do be aware that this is an absolutely critical journey. The path ahead for fiat currencies, government bonds, banks, and anything else to do with the so-called ‘money’ system that we use today, is fraught with peril, and the rulers of the world are looking for those without vital economic knowledge to foot the bill – make sure you aren’t one of them.
