Altcoin Season 2025: Top 10 Altcoins Worth Investing in Right Now

The cryptocurrency market is showing strong activity again as Bitcoin reaches a new record high of 111,861 dollars and its market dominance continues to rise. This has sparked hopes for a potential altcoin season — a period when altcoins perform better than Bitcoin. In the past, two main signals have marked the beginning of such a season: Bitcoin breaking its previous record and its market dominance increasing. Both of these are happening right now, with Bitcoin's dominance rising from around 50% to nearly 61% by 2025, while most altcoins are struggling to keep up. If this trend continues, altcoins may soon witness a strong price surge. AltcoinBuzz has shared 10 altcoins that are expected to rise soon as Bitcoin has surged to over 110,000 dollars. Altcoin Produced in the United States The United States is quickly becoming a hub for regulated crypto innovation, especially as tokenization of (RWA) real-world asset is making headlines. Here are five U.S.-based projects that are leading this trend: ONDO Finance (ONDO): A leading RWA protocol has recently partnered with JP Morgan to tokenize securities — a move that could unlock trillions of dollars in real-world assets for blockchain. SUI Network (SUI): The fastest Layer-1 development in this cycle, dominating DeFi volume, gaming, and stablecoins. Often compared to Solana from the latest bull run. Chainlink (LINK): The leading oracle network providing real-world data such as stock and bond prices for blockchains — essential for RWA protocols. XRP: Having just escaped a $50 million payment, this long-standing payment coin seems ready for a return of regulators, although its history of retail token sell-offs has dampened excitement. Hedera (HBAR): Focused on RWA with unique hashgraph technology, providing faster, cheaper, and scalable transactions for organizations. Other Global Competitors However, the United States does not have a monopoly on innovation. The analyst mentioned other projects such as Quant Network (QNT), which helps different blockchains work together, especially for digital currencies such as the digital euro. Plume is another mid-range project that focuses on real-world assets and has close partnerships Hyperliquid (HYPE) is a fast-growing cryptocurrency exchange that has tripled in size in six months and is building a very fast EVM network. Polygon is making a comeback as a popular Layer-2 network, leading stablecoin transactions and taking users from Tron. The most recent is Bittensor (TAO), a project that wants to be like Bitcoin for AI, allowing people to invest in and support AI networks.
