What are the top crypto stories in 2025? Well, maybe you should focus more on blockchains – Solana, SUI and Bitcoin networks are expected to flourish next year.
I started reinvesting in Solana after the FTX crash because it could do something that Ethereum couldn’t: run quickly and cheaply.
Additionally, with only 5% of the world’s population owning cryptocurrencies, we are very early.

is the market driver, Ethereum is losing its dominance and may not perform as well this cycle as in others due to the overdevelopment of block space across its layer 2s.
Here are 3 alternatives to Ethereum to invest in.
1. Solana (SOL): the road to $1,000
Ethereum deserves the praise and celebrations it receives; it was first, but for random Normies, it doesn’t matter which is first or most decentralized. What will matter is the fastest and simplest blockchain with the best applications.

Here are some shocking statistics about Solana:
- It is the fastest blockchain at 1,500 tps
- It toppled Ethereum and Tron in total economic value locked
- Top DEX Jupiter is currently at war by toppling Uniswap
- The best Solana Phantom wallet has 7 million users
- Solana developers still think it’s too expensive despite being one of the cheapest
- An update called Firedancer is coming soon and will do 1 million tps

2. Sui: The L1 rookie who could be the next Solana
If there was one token that would be the “Solana” of this cycle, it would be Sui .cwp-coin-chart svg path { Stroke: ; line width: ; }

The top crypto stories right now (write it down) are Real World Assets, AI, GameFi, BRC-20, Meme Coins, SocialFi, and DePIN.
DePIN, or Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks, is a blockchain solution for the Internet of Things (think: smart homes, wearables, cars, mobile networks, and GPU rendering).
Currently, the main blockchain for this is SUI.

Like Solana, Sui is cheap, fast, and has developers who know how to market it with former Facebook developers on the project.
When it comes to apps on Sui, the best DePIN token is Karrier One, which aims to revolutionize wireless access by targeting signal-starved wastelands and banking the unbanked with just one phone number.
Another is Chirp Wireless.
Chirp Wireless is a leader in decentralized wireless technology. The project is aggressively deploying a decentralized global telecommunications and IoT network, and Chirp is already present on five continents.
“The Sui blockchain can facilitate real-time, secure, and scalable interactions between a vast network of interconnected devices without the bottlenecks that plague other blockchains,” explained Tim Kravchunovsky, CEO of Chirp.

3. Bitcoin: there is nothing better
A Bitcoin is a good foundation for any wallet, if you can manage it. We get quite high here for BTC!?
Bitcoin is by far the best performing asset class and it’s not even close.
Last year, Jurrien Timmer, Director of Global Macro at Fidelity, published a risk-reward analysis of various assets, including Bitcoin (BTC), and the results were shocking:
Where is Bitcoin, you might ask?
It takes two images to get the range of the chart. Bitcoin and crypto are foreign assets that, in a world that loves to print money, will see crypto continue to succeed.
Either way, whether it’s a bull or bear market – although we’re more excited about the former than the latter – my belief in Web3 is as firm as Alex Jone’s theory that globalists serve Satan and sacrifice children.
I take this thesis to the grave.
The floor goes up every time we hit a new all-time high for top cryptos. This means that if you are reading this, you are still ahead.
