In 2025, the crypto market is experiencing a shift towards whitelist-driven momentum, where early access to tokens via whitelist mechanisms offers investors structural advantages. Ethereum (ETH) is expected to grow by 65% in Q3 2025, fueled by Ethereum 2.0 upgrades, EIP-1559, and the approval of an Ethereum ETF in July 2024. Solana (SOL) and Sui (SUI) have also recorded significant gains, supported by infrastructure improvements and regulatory developments like the U.S. Digital Currency Act. Institutional interest in markets such as India and the U.S. has propelled Chainlink (LINK) and BNB Chain by 58% and 32%, respectively. To manage the high volatility, investors are turning to AI-driven crypto indices, which have successfully reduced portfolio volatility by 30-40%.
