Crypto prices are dipping today, but experts are optimistic about what’s ahead.
Bitwise analyst Juan Leon told CoinDesk that spot Bitcoin ETFs could attract more than $3 billion in inflows in Q2:
“While retail interest is weak due to the fixation on price action, professional investors are recognizing the global adoption momentum spurred by the Trump administration’s embrace of Bitcoin, and many are seeing these market conditions as an opportunity to start or increase an allocation,” he said.
If those flows materialise, they could drive Bitcoin higher and reignite altcoin interest across the market.
With that in mind, here are seven of the best cryptos to buy now:
Solaxy
Solaxy is building the first Solana layer 2 blockchain, with the goal of improving scalability and solving the network’s ongoing congestion issues. Its aim is to help future-proof Solana as usage continues to grow.
The presale has already raised over $29 million, making it the largest Solana-based ICO to date. This level of support highlights the market’s belief in its use case.
Solaxy’s native token, $SOLX, will be used for staking, governance, and transaction fees within the layer 2 network.
With strong presale momentum and a practical application, Solaxy looks like a strong contender in the coming months.
However, the $SOLX presale price increases over time, so potential buyers may want to act quickly.
XRP
With institutions expected to lead the next phase of the bull market, XRP could be an altcoin to keep a close eye on.
Its core use case is built around cross-border payments, positioning XRP as a potential replacement for the SWIFT system. That’s a bold vision, but even partial adoption could drive major price growth.
XRP also has a passionate retail following and benefits from strong brand recognition across the industry.
In addition, multiple spot XRP ETF applications are pending. If approved, they could provide institutional investors with an easy entry point into XRP, further fuelling demand.
BTC Bull token
If Bitcoin ETF inflows drive up the price of BTC, then BTC Bull Token could be a major beneficiary.
It’s a Bitcoin-themed memecoin offering real BTC rewards. When Bitcoin reaches milestones like $150,000 or $200,000, the project will airdrop both $BTC and $BTCBULL to holders. There are also staking rewards and a deflationary burn mechanism in place.
The presale has already raised $4.3 million and counting. BTC Bull Token stands out by combining meme culture with a tangible rewards model, giving it long-term potential in both retail and speculative investor circles.
Four
The 2024 memecoin boom saw huge trading volumes, but not every platform capitalised. One that did was Pump.fun, which generated massive fees but had no native token.
Four.meme, Binance’s top memecoin launchpad, takes a different approach. It does have a token, $FOUR, which has surged 142% this month thanks to growing interest in BNB Chain memecoins.
In addition to launching memecoins, Four also offers a GameFi launchpad.
This dual use case could help it maintain strong momentum into Q2 and beyond.
MIND Of Pepe
MIND Of Pepe is an AI-powered agent wrapped in meme culture. It’s raised $7.8 million so far in presale and continues to gain traction.
The project builds on the late-2024 boom in AI agents. Its self-evolving AI scans the market for trends, surfaces trading opportunities, and can even launch its own tokens.
$MIND holders get exclusive access to these insights and token launches via a gated Telegram group.
By combining AI utility with the viral appeal of Pepe the Frog, MIND of Pepe offers layered value and could be one of the breakout memecoins of 2025.
Ondo
Ondo is a real-world asset (RWA) protocol built on Ethereum, offering tokenised exposure to traditional assets like bonds, stocks, and ETFs.
Its platform allows users to access yield-bearing stablecoins and 1:1 backed RWA tokens — all directly on-chain.
Backed by institutions such as BlackRock and Franklin Templeton, Ondo already has a $2.4 billion market cap.
But with tokenisation of real-world assets gaining momentum, there could still be significant upside.
Best Wallet Token
Best Wallet is a crypto wallet designed to rival major exchanges with an all-in-one experience. Its native token, $BEST, is in presale and has raised $11.5 million.
The wallet supports over 60 blockchains and includes features like a cross-chain DEX, presale aggregator, staking aggregator, and crypto debit card.
$BEST holders get added perks, including fee discounts, higher staking yields, governance rights, and special access to partner project promotions.
With its strong product suite and growing user base, demand for $BEST could rise alongside platform adoption, making it a presale worth watching.
