Analyst Reveals “Highest Conviction” Altcoins for 2025: XRP, ADA & SUI But There’s Two More

• SEC decides to drop its appeal against Ripple; XRP price rallies
• Cardano integrates Bitcoin, boosting DeFi projects, with $1 being a crucial target
• SUI attracts institutional interest; Mantra’s price doubles, despite occasional market setbacks

The crypto industry is looking like it’s entering a new growth phase after overcoming major challenges, including the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)’s legal battles and external pressures. With recent legal wins under their belt, like the SEC dropping cases against Ripple and other big players, seems it’s the altcoin market gearing up for a serious surge.

Yes, there was the dip, but experts still point to solid coins that are expected to bounce back strong. AltcoinBuzz has listed five ‘highest conviction’ altcoins for 2025:

Cardano (ADA): Back in the Game?

Cardano (ADA) has made a strong return in the market. After a big jump in late 2024, it’s still doing well despite a slight dip. What’s interesting is that Cardano is also working on integrating Bitcoin into its ecosystem for Cardano’s DeFi projects.

At press time, ADA is up by more than 3% and is eyeing to break the crucial $0.80 mark. However, the most important hurdle sits at $1. 

Ripple (XRP): SEC Appeal Dropped, Bull Run Incoming

Ripple (XRP) is another well-established project that’s holding its own despite recent market downturns. It surged from $0.54 to $3.21 in just two months after the US elections. 

In more bullish news, the SEC is not moving ahead with an appeal against Ripple. This more or less brings to close the four-year-long legal battle and so expert believe now is the best time to stack XRP.

After gaining 12% in the last 24 hours, XRP is now looking to climb beyond $3. The most immediate resistance range lies between $2.65-$2.85. 

Mantra (OM): Real-World Asset Star

Mantra (OM) has been a standout performer in the real-world asset (RWA) sector. Despite some market struggles, it has grown a lot in the last few months, even doubling its price. Over the last year, its price has gone up by 760%.

The airdrop delay might cause some short-term dips, but Mantra’s long-term position looks solid. According to the analyst, the price below $7 could be a good time to buy.

SUI: ETF Buzz and Strong Fundamentals

SUI has shown impressive resilience and strong growth. There’s recent news circulating about a potential ETF for SUI, which could attract substantial interest from large institutional investors.

SUI’s total value locked (TVL) has stayed high, with a peak of $2 billion in January. Sui is up by more than 6% in the last 24 hours and with the bullish momentum building steadily, a push beyond $2.50 might be incoming soon.

The analyst also highlighted Walrus Protocol as its fifth pick, a new project built on SUI’s technology to offer decentralized storage solutions. The project is launching its mainnet and token soon, and there’s a lot of excitement around its airdrop.
