  44. <content:encoded><![CDATA[
  45. <p>Solana, a <a href="https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/top-layer-1-cryptocurrencies-in-2025/" data-type="post" data-id="65">layer-1 chain</a>, has emerged as a top cryptocurrency in the last couple of years, thanks to its phenomenal rally from $14 to $294. This rally was possible only because of a strong memecoin supercycle in late 2023 and 2024.</p>
  46.  
  47.  
  48.  
  49. <p>Since almost all of the revenue from Solana&#8217;s blockchain comes from memecoin fees, the end of the memecoin supercycle has cast doubt on Solana&#8217;s future.</p>
  50.  
  51.  
  52.  
  53. <p>In this article, we will explore the fate of Solana in terms of fundamental analysis and price analysis. At the end of the article, we will take a look at what experts think will be the price of Solana in the near and long-term future.</p>
  54.  
  55.  
  56.  
  57. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fundamental Analysis</h2>
  58.  
  59.  
  60.  
  61. <p>Fundamentally, Solana has one of the most robust blockchains with a high transaction processing capacity of 65,000 transactions per second. Out of that, the blockchain currently utilizes a capacity of roughly 4,000 transactions per second, which means it can scale by a factor of 16 before needing any major upgrade.</p>
  62.  
  63.  
  64.  
  65. <p>Previously, Solana got stress-tested during the TRUMP token launch. The blockchain performed well till 232,000 transactions per second.</p>
  66.  
  67.  
  68.  
  69. <p>Further, Solana has also been tested well for RWA applications (BlackRock&#8217;s BUIDL), DePIN (Jambo Phone), and many other use cases.</p>
  70.  
  71.  
  72.  
  73. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Technical Analysis</h2>
  74.  
  75.  
  76.  
  77. <p>Solana&#8217;s price has seen a wild growth from late 2023 to early 2025, rising from $14 to $294. However, since January 2025, its price has seen a crash from its ATH ($294) to $100 till 7 April 2025.</p>
  78.  
  79.  
  80.  
  81. <p>Since that day, Solana has been in a recovery mode and has climbed 50% from April lows.</p>
  82.

  86.  
  87.  
  88.  
  89. <p>Over the last two years, Solana has nearly formed a highly bullish Cup and Handle pattern. The pattern is expected to finish by Jul 2025, and when it does, it is expected to take Solana take SOL up by $2500. Based on these expectations, SOL is expected to reach $3000 within the next few months.</p>
  90.  
  91.  
  92.  
  93. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sentimental Analysis</h2>
  94.  
  95.  
  96.  
  97. <p>Solana experienced one of the top <a href="https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/category/crypto-analysis/sentiment/" data-type="category" data-id="19">sentiments</a> in the crypto markets during the crypto winter (October 2023 to December 2024).</p>
  98.  
  99.  
  100.  
  101. <p>However, from December 2024 to April 2025, we have experienced a steep fall in sentiments for Solana.</p>
  102.  
  103.  
  104.  
  105. <p>Since April 2025, Solana has experienced a gradual recovery, reaching a neutral score in the fear and greed index.</p>
  106.  
  107.  
  108.  
  109. <p>We expect a further recovery in SOL to the &#8220;greed&#8221; level in the next few weeks.</p>

  123. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">2025</h3>

  127. <ul class="wp-block-list">
  128. <li>VanEck expects a price tag of <a href="https://twitter.com/vaneck_us/status/1887560252117426452" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$520</a> per SOL by the end of 2025.</li>

  133. </ul>
  134.  
  135.  
  136.  
  137. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">2026</h3>
  138.  
  139.  
  140.  
  141. <p>The year 2026 is expected to witness a resurgence in Altcoin Season, which is why we expect SOL to get in the range of $500 to $800 by the end of the year. </p>
  142.  
  143.  
  144.  
  145. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">2030</h3>
  146.  
  147.  
  148.  
  149. <p>In the long term, Solana&#8217;s future depends on whether it will be able to turn around its image from a meme-chain to a highly scalable, general-purpose chain. The technical work for this has already been done, but there is a dire need for a change in public perception.</p>
  150.  
  151.  
  152.  
  153. <p>Currently, Solana has around 1300 validators and processes roughly 4,000 transactions per second. It has the ability to process roughly 65,000 transactions in second.</p>
  154.  
  155.  
  156.  
  157. <p>If the project is able to make a turnaround, we expect a maximum target of $4,000 per SOL by the end of this decade.</p>
  158.  
  159.  
  160.  
  161. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">2040</h3>
  162.  
  163.  
  164.  
  165. <p>Assuming an optimistic adoption rate, Solana could make itself a go-to <a href="https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/top-layer-1-cryptocurrencies-in-2025/" data-type="post" data-id="65">blockchain</a> for high-speed transactions with a relatively fair security system in place.</p>
  166.  
  167.  
  168.  
  169. <p>If this rate of adoption takes place, we might see Solana reach $5000 to $7500 levels by the end of the next decade.</p>

  216.  
  217. <p>Bitcoin started its journey in 2025 with a price of $93,000 (as on 1 January). Despite turbulence in the markets with falling liquidity levels, Bitcoin successfully recovered above $100,000 till the end of January.</p>
  218.  
  219.  
  220.  
  221. <p>However, at every point above $100k, short sellers became aggressive and Bitcoin failed to cross $100,000 decisively.</p>
  222.  
  223.  
  224.  
  225. <p>It managed to defend those price levels for the entire month even when this year&#8217;s first Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC) meeting did not cut interest rates further and the markets descended into a liquidity crisis in the last 3 days of the month (i.e., 29, 30 and 31).</p>

  237. <p>Bitcoin remained floating around $90k for the entire month of February except for the last week.</p>
  238.  
  239.  
  240.  
  241. <p>In the last week of February 2025, Bitcoin saw a major slide from $96,000 to $84,000 due to liquidity worries. </p>
  242.  
  243.  
  244.  
  245. <p>Most of the selling in this period was done by retail sellers while corporates kept buying. </p>
  246.  
  247.  
  248.  
  249. <p>Selling was primarily caused by Donald Trump and David Sacks disclosing that no extra Bitcoins would be bought for the reserve. Later, this was walked back by Trump who then said they would buy Bitcoins but not by tax money.</p>

  274.  
  275.  
  276.  
  277. <p>In the month of April 2025, Bitcoin struggled to retain its $85,000 resistance. This was caused due to a fall in the market sentiments and this was also seen in Fear and Greed Index which fell to a level of 13/100.</p>
  278.  
  279.  
  280.  
  281. <p>However, by the latter part of the month i.e., the third week, Bitcoin recovered first above $80k, then $85k and finally above $90k. This was caused by the return of stability in the markets and a general expectation of a rate cut in May or June 2025.</p>

  372.  
  373.  
  374.  
  375. <p>Bitcoin is a <a href="https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/top-layer-1-cryptocurrencies-in-2025/" data-type="post" data-id="65">layer-1</a> cryptocurrency and the first successful one to solve the Double Spending Problem. The cryptocurrency was introduced to the world by Satoshi Nakamoto (who still remains a mysterious figure) in October 2008 and its first block (genesis block) was created on January 3, 2009.</p>
  376.  
  377.  
  378.  
  379. <p>The unique thing about Bitcoin was that its cryptocurrencies were unique and one could not simply copy them to create infinite supply. Hence, it succeeded where earlier projects like <strong>BitGold </strong>failed.</p>
  380.  
  381.  
  382.  
  383. <p>Today, several governments, big corporations, and millions of retail investors have collectively invested trillions of dollars in Bitcoin. </p>
  384.  
  385.  
  386.  
  387. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="bitcoin-fundamental-analysis">Bitcoin Fundamental Analysis</h2>
  388.  
  389.  
  390.  
  391. <p>Fundamentally, Bitcoin is the strongest cryptocurrency in the crypto markets. It has the largest market capitalization worth over $2 trillion and has millions of investors and users including governments, top ETF issuers, wealth managers, tech companies, retail investors, and even illegitimate individuals and persons.</p>
  392.  
  393.  
  394.  
  395. <p><strong>What works in favor of Bitcoin is a few key things:</strong></p>
  396.  
  397.  
  398.  
  399. <ul class="wp-block-list">
  400. <li>Largest cryptocurrency with global reach.</li>
  401.  
  402.  
  403.  
  404. <li>Anonymous nature which allows any two parties to send and receive Bitcoins without disclosing identity.</li>
  405.  
  406.  
  407.  
  408. <li>Censorship resistance that allows free operation from government interference.</li>
  409.  
  410.  
  411.  
  412. <li>Decentralization that helps in avoiding bans, regulations, and undue accumulation of power by middlemen, influential people and governments.</li>
  413.  
  414.  
  415.  
  416. <li>Global acceptability, i.e., people generally want to receive Bitcoins, which is due to its value.</li>
  417.  
  418.  
  419.  
  420. <li>60% annualized growth since its creation, as described by Michael Saylor in his Cantor presentation.</li>

  426.  
  427.  
  428.  
  429. <p>Bitcoin has gained wide acceptance among governments and markets allowing it to become the 8th largest asset class (24 April 2025) in the world beating even top stocks like Meta, and many others.</p>

  437. <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="laws-and-regulations">Laws and Regulations</h4>
  438.  
  439.  
  440.  
  441. <p>Laws and Regulations have been Bitcoin&#8217;s worst troublemakers with blanket bans from China, restrictions in India, high taxes in Europe, and other regions.</p>
  442.  
  443.  
  444.  
  445. <p>However, since 2024, there has been a noticeable downturn in anti-Bitcoin rhetoric in the world. A major factor contributing to the toning down of this rhetoric was Donald Trump&#8217;s pro-Bitcoin stance. Trump had won the 2024 US Elections due to a significant support from crypto markets. Further, after he assumed his position, he created the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve via an Executive Order.</p>
  446.  
  447.  
  448.  
  449. <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="corporate-interest">Corporate Interest</h4>
  450.  
  451.  
  452.  
  453. <p>Corporate Interest in Bitcoin started when Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), a key software company had acquired Bitcoins before the 2021 rally and continued to do so despite bad market condition throughout the crypto winter. This helped the company acquire tens of billions in unrealized gains when the markets hit another rally above $100k in 2024.</p>
  454.  
  455.  
  456.  
  457. <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="640" src="https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Blockchain-Lab-1024x640.avif" alt="Corporate Bitcoin Adoption in 2024 and 2025" class="wp-image-102" srcset="https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Blockchain-Lab-1024x640.avif 1024w, https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Blockchain-Lab-300x188.avif 300w, https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Blockchain-Lab-768x480.avif 768w, https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Blockchain-Lab-1536x960.avif 1536w, https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Blockchain-Lab.avif 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><strong><em>Corporate Bitcoin Adoption in 2024 and 2025</em></strong></figcaption></figure>
  458.  
  459.  
  460.  
  461. <p>This pioneering strategy brought the interest of several top tech and non-tech players into Bitcoin, most of which began to acquire BTC by mid-2025. Some of the early adopters of Bitcoin (direct or via ETFs and shares) other than Strategy, include Metaplanet, GameStop, BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, and JP Morgan.</p>
  462.  
  463.  
  464.  
  465. <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="retail-interest">Retail Interest</h4>
  466.  
  467.  
  468.  
  469. <p>Bitcoin has enjoyed high retail interest since the last decade when it went global. This interest primary comes from aspiring retail investors who have missed the initial days of Bitcoin. </p>
  470.  
  471.  
  472.  
  473. <p>A techie named Lazlo Hayenicz had traded 10,000 Bitcoins for 2 pizzas in 2010, making it one of the earliest cases of Bitcoin adoption in the world.</p>
  474.  
  475.  
  476.  
  477. <p>In April 2024, Bitcoin had at least 46 million wallets with each wallet holding at least $1 of BTC. Due to such high rates of adoption, the concertation of large holders remains less than 15% for Bitcoin, which also saves it from unexpected sell-offs and token manipulation.</p>

  511. <h5 class="wp-block-heading" id="rising-adoption">Rising Adoption</h5>
  512.  
  513.  
  514.  
  515. <p>Bitcoin&#8217;s largest strength it is rising adoption which enables it to provide multibagger returns to each of its  long-term adopters.</p>
  516.  
  517.  
  518.  
  519. <h5 class="wp-block-heading" id="rising-adoption-1">High Valuation</h5>
  520.  
  521.  
  522.  
  523. <p>Another strength of Bitcoin is its multi-trillion valuation which protects it from severe financial downturns, bear markets, and short selling.</p>
  524.  
  525.  
  526.  
  527. <h5 class="wp-block-heading" id="rising-adoption-1-1">Decentralization</h5>
  528.  
  529.  
  530.  
  531. <p>Bitcoin also has a very strong community of adopters and developers who contribute to its network. This helps running the Bitcoin node network in an uninterrupted manner. </p>
  532.  
  533.  
  534.  
  535. <p>Since this network is decentralized, it helps avoid censorship resistance, middlemen profiteering, gate-keeping and many other unfair practices.</p>

  546.  
  547. <p>High taxation in India, Italy, France and Germany remain the toughest challenge to Bitcoin adoption in the European Union and India.</p>

  556.  
  557.  
  558.  
  559. <p>The next big thing in Bitcoin seems like government adoption. Already the US Government, and governments in Bhutan, and El Salvador have adopted Bitcoin.</p>
  560.  
  561.  
  562.  
  563. <p>However, adoption by European Union, India and Japan seems to be close.</p>
  564.  
  565.  
  566.  
  567. <p>Chinese government adoption seems far in the future as it has actively sold $1.5 billion worth of BTC in 2025.</p>

  576.  
  577.  
  578.  
  579. <p>Due to increased corporate and government adoption in 2024 and 2025, Bitcoin has seen a very steep increase in concentration of large holders. This large adoption has increased the risk of centralization taking the share of Bitcoin supply with large holders to 12%.</p>

  588.  
  589.  
  590.  
  591. <p>Bitcoin maximalists have the highest support for Bitcoin even in 2022 when the future of Bitcoin seemed very dark. These maximalists have been rising with the latest major maximalist being Larry Fink, who heads the largest wealth management company in the world (BlackRock).</p>
  592.  
  593.  
  594.  
  595. <p>Among Bitcoin maximalists, Michael Saylor (Strategy), Cathie Wood (Ark Invest), Larry Fink (BlackRock) and Elon Musk are a few top names.</p>
  596.  
  597.

  607. <p>Conservatives refers to traditional banking companies and governments. In 2025, many of them have been turned pro-Bitcoin like BlackRock (headed by Larry Fink), Goldman Sachs, and JP Morgan (Jamie Dimon), Wall Street companies, and traditional banks.</p>
  608.  
  609.  
  610.  
  611. <p>Most of them have been now considering Bitcoin adoption in 2025. A major reason for them turning pro-Bitcoin was due to Donald Trump&#8217;s executive order for creating a Bitcoin Reserve.</p>

  616.

  619. <p>Retail Markets have turned pro-Bitcoin depending on whether how much rally has Bitcoin shown in the last few weeks. </p>
  620.  
  621.  
  622.  
  623. <p>In Q1 of 2025 when Bitcoin saw its price decline by 25%, the retail markets were the largest to sell BTC along with miners (who are only able to earn money by selling it). This had brought Bitcoin ownership to a minimum in the periods of Q4 2024 and Q1 2025.</p>

This is expected to turn a few other major economies like the European Union and India to turn pro-Bitcoin. By the end of 2025, we expect these countries to adopt Bitcoin or at least lower down the taxes on Bitcoin and crypto profits in those economies.</p>

  676.  
  677.  
  678.  
  679. <p>In Q1 of 2025, the IMF too has called for Bitcoin&#8217;s recognition as the use of Bitcoin and Stablecoins have risen very rapidly in the last 4 years.</p>
  680.  
  681.  
  682.  
  683. <p>Further, as the current version of SWIFT is about to end in November 2025, we expect the new system to be blockchain-based and integrate Bitcoin too.</p>

  879. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="1-base">1. Base</h2>
  880.  
  881.  
  882.  
  883. <p>Base has emerged as the largest layer-2 blockchain due to its institutional adoption and very cheap transaction fees. Base further ensures higher adoption by using ETH to pay for gas fees. This eliminates the need of another token and the associated hassle.</p>
  884.  
  885.  
  886.  
  887. <p class="has-palette-color-5-background-color has-background"><strong>#NOTE</strong>: Typically you need to pay transaction fees in native token of that blockchain, for example with POL on Polygon, ARB on Arbitrum, etc.</p>
  888.  
  889.  
  890.  
  891. <p>At present Base does roughly 6 million transactions every day and has reached a peak of 13 million transactions per day during the December bull markets.</p>

  896.  
  897.  
  898.  
  899. <p>Being integrated with Coinbase, its parent company, Base blockchain enjoys very high liquidity, tech support and developmental efforts.</p>
  900.  
  901.  
  902.  
  903. <p>However, the centralization of its blockchain (Base is owned by Coinbase) has been a point of critique.</p>
  904.  
  905.  
  906.  
  907. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="2-polygon">2. Polygon</h2>
  908.  
  909.  
  910.  
  911. <p>Polygon is one of the oldest Layer-2 chains starting in 2017 much before chains like Arbitrum (launched March 2023), Optimism (launched December 2021), or Shibarium (launched August 2023). Among all other chains, the Polygon ecosystem is the most diverse with two blockchains Polygon Mainnet and Polygon zkEVM (both EVM-compatible).</p>
  912.  
  913.  
  914.  
  915. <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="528" height="201" src="https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/image-6.avif" alt="The Number of Transactions Polygon Process in a Fortnight" class="wp-image-83" srcset="https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/image-6.avif 528w, https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/image-6-300x114.avif 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The Number of Transactions Polygon Process in a Fortnight</figcaption></figure>
  916.  
  917.  
  918.  
  919. <p>As recent as 2022, Polygon was the most popular Layer-2 chain before the arrival of Base and has been giving Base a tough competition.</p>
  920.  
  921.  
  922.  
  923. <p>However, its token saw a brutal crash from $1.18 to the current price of $0.22 due to the crypto winter (which also ended its Disney partnership). When altcoins resurged in 2024, Polygon saw its price rise to $0.70.</p>
  924.  
  925.  
  926.  
  927. <p>Polygon Mainnet has a DeFi TVL of $800 million approximately and $2 billion worth of stablecoins.</p>
  928.  
  929.  
  930.  
  931. <p>Polygon zkEVM on the other hand has roughly $3 million worth of TVL and negligible stablecoins.</p>
  932.  
  933.  
  934.  
  935. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="3-arbitrum">3. Arbitrum</h2>
  936.  
  937.  
  938.  
  939. <p>Arbitrum is one of the top layer-2 blockchains being used in the current market. The project uses a optimistic rollup to process transactions in batches.  It processes roughly 2 million transactions per day.</p>
  940.  
  941.  
  942.  
  943. <figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="515" height="172" src="https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/image-8.avif" alt="The Number of Transactions that Optimism Processes per Fortnight" class="wp-image-86" srcset="https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/image-8.avif 515w, https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/image-8-300x100.avif 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 515px) 100vw, 515px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The Number of Transactions that Optimism Processes per Fortnight</figcaption></figure>
  944.  
  945.  
  946.  
  947. <p>The chain has approximately $2.25 billion in TVL and $2.9 billion in stablecoins, one of the highest among EVM chains.</p>
  948.  
  949.  
  950.  
  951. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="4-optimism">4. Optimism</h2>
  952.  
  953.  
  954.  
  955. <p>Optimism was one of the first layer-2 blockchains to use the Optimistic Rollup. The chain processes roughly a million transaction everyday and is used for general purposes.</p>
  956.  
  957.  
  958.  
  959. <figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="521" height="186" src="https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/image-7.avif" alt="Number of Transactions that Optimism Processes in a Day" class="wp-image-85" srcset="https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/image-7.avif 521w, https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/image-7-300x107.avif 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 521px) 100vw, 521px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><strong><em>The Number of Transactions that Optimism Processes per Fortnight</em></strong></figcaption></figure>
  960.  
  961.  
  962.  
  963. <p>Optimism has roughly $400 million in DeFi TVL and negligible amount of stablecoins.</p>
  964.  
  965.  
  966.  
  967. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="5-shiba-inu">5. Shiba Inu</h2>
  968.  
  969.  
  970.  
  971. <p>If you are surprised to see Shiba Inu on the list of layer-2 chains,  runs one of the most successful layer to but Shiba Inu runs one of the most successful blockchains called Shibarium. At present, Shibarium processes roughly 4.5 million transactions per day, higher than Polygon. </p>
  972.  
  973.  
  974.  
  975. <p>The Shibarium blockchain uses an optimistic rollup similar to Arbitrum and Optimism.</p>
  976.  
  977.  
  978.  
  979. <figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="716" height="278" src="https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/image-5.avif" alt="The Number of Transactions Shibarium Process in a Day" class="wp-image-82" srcset="https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/image-5.avif 716w, https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/image-5-300x116.avif 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 716px) 100vw, 716px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><strong><em>The Number of Transactions Shibarium Process in a Day</em></strong></figcaption></figure>
  980.  
  981.  
  982.  
  983. <p>What works in favor of Shibarium, is its integration with the Shiba Inu ecosystem (currently valued at $8 billion). At its peak last year, Shiba Inu reached a valuation of $18.6 billion.</p>
  984.  
  985.  
  986.  
  987. <p>However, I feel that Shiba developers and team has not been able to exploit their popularity to the highest level. A lot more can be done on exploring new use cases like <a href="https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/top-5-rwa-cryptos-in-2025/" data-type="post" data-id="34">RWA</a>, zkEVM, DeFi, and much more.</p>

  1006. <div class="rank-math-answer ">
  1007.  
  1008. <p>Sharding is expected to raise the transaction processing in Ethereum to 100,000 TPS and make transactions super cheap. However, since Layer-2s process them in batches, they would become even more cheaper. The largest component of Layer-2 fees is the fee they pay to Layer-1 chains for finality.</p>

  1042. <content:encoded><![CDATA[
  1043. <ul style="background-color:#e0f2ff" class="wp-block-list has-background">
  1044. <li>Algorand is deeply undervalued in the current markets.</li>
  1045.  
  1046.  
  1047.  
  1048. <li>Fundamentally, it is the only chain that has high speed, scalability and quantum security.</li>
  1049.  
  1050.  
  1051.  
  1052. <li>We expect ALGO to cross $1 by the end of 2025.</li>
  1053. </ul>
  1054.  
  1055.  
  1056.  
  1057. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is Algorand?</h2>
  1058.  
  1059.  
  1060.  
  1061. <p>Algorand is a highly scalable and quantum proof blockchain created by Dr. Silvio Micali, a professor in Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The project boasts of a dual-layered blockchain which is highly scalable, highly decentralized and has achieved quantum security through state proofs.</p>
  1062.  
  1063.  
  1064.  
  1065. <p>The blockchain is one of the most cost efficient one with an average fee of $0.01 or even less.</p>
  1066.  
  1067.  
  1068.  
  1069. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Algorand Fundamental Analysis</h2>
  1070.  
  1071.  
  1072.  
  1073. <p>Algorand is a dual-layer blockchain which scales itself depending on the load. This allows it to remain scalable without the use of any Layer-2 scaling solution like Ethereum does, which then removes any security issues emerging from these Layer-2 transactions.</p>
  1074.  
  1075.  
  1076.  
  1077. <p>Secondly, Algorand is the only major blockchain that has achieved quantum proofing, a factor that threatens most blockchains. This allows Algorand to develop without paying much attention to quantum attacks which are expected to rise in the upcoming decades.</p>
  1078.  
  1079.  
  1080.  
  1081. <p>Finally, the fees on Algorand is a fraction of what other chains charge. Despite being a decentralized blockchain, Algorand charges less than a cent, lower than most centralized blockchain networks like XRPL and BNB Chain.</p>
  1082.  
  1083.  
  1084.

  1096.  
  1097. <p>Algorand has effectively broken out of a downtrend in the second week of April and has started an upwards trend since then. Previously, the price was under a descending channel since December 2024 due to which its price declined from $0.5 to $0.15.</p>
  1098.  
  1099.  
  1100.  
  1101. <p>If Algorand sees any altcoin season this year, its price could easily cross $1, otherwise ALGO might reach its 2024 high of $0.60 by the end of this year.</p>

  1233. <description><![CDATA[Top layer-1 chains are Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and BNB Chain.]]></description>
  1234. <content:encoded><![CDATA[
  1235. <p>Layer-1 blockchains serve as the base for the entire blockchain technology. All tokens, dApps, NFTs, DeFi protocols and decentralized exchanges are built on top of layer-1 chains like Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, BNB Chain, Dogecoin and many others. </p>
  1236.  
  1237.  
  1238.  
  1239. <p>Most layer-1 chains are unique with special features, unique consensus mechanisms and have their own priorities. Some are known for cutting edge speed while others are more popular due to their level of decentralization. Some are known for quantum proof network while many are popular for their ultra-low fees. Together, these layer-1 chains cater to different range of users and applications, often in a complementary manner.</p>
  1240.  
  1241.  
  1242.  
  1243. <p>Generally, each layer-1 cryptocurrency has its own blockchain and hence the classification Layer-1. Here, each blockchain differs from each other and can be classified based on the type of consensus mechanism they follow.</p>
  1244.  
  1245.  
  1246.  
  1247. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Types of Layer-1 Blockchains</h2>
  1248.  
  1249.  
  1250.  
  1251. <p>Layer-1 blockchains differ from each other with respect to their consensus mechanisms. These consensus mechanisms are rules and protocols based on which a transaction is validated on a blockchain.</p>
  1252.  
  1253.  
  1254.  
  1255. <p class="has-palette-color-5-background-color has-background"><strong>Remember</strong>: A blockchain is a collection of blocks, connected in a linear fashion. Within a blockchain each block is a collection of several individual transactions.</p>
  1256.  
  1257.  
  1258.  
  1259. <p>There are several consensus mechanisms that are followed by Layer-1 chains. Below is a list of top consensus mechanisms with their examples. There are many blockchains that use unique consensus mechanisms but most of those are variations of the ones given below.</p>
  1260.  
  1261.  
  1262.  
  1263. <ul class="wp-block-list">
  1264. <li><strong>Proof of Work</strong> <strong>(PoW)</strong>: Those chains where validators need to do complex calculations to obtain nonce values which validates transactions.
  1265. <ul class="wp-block-list">
  1266. <li><strong>Example</strong>: Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Litecoin</li>
  1267. </ul>
  1268. </li>
  1269.  
  1270.  
  1271.  
  1272. <li><strong>Proof of Stake</strong> <strong>(PoS)</strong>: Here, a validator receives transactions in proportion to their collateral (stake). If they post false transactions, this collateral is confiscated.
  1273. <ul class="wp-block-list">
  1274. <li><strong>Example</strong>: Ethereum, Solana</li>
  1275. </ul>
  1276. </li>
  1277.  
  1278.  
  1279.  
  1280. <li><strong>Proof of Delegated Stake</strong> <strong>(PoDS)</strong>: It is the same as proof of stake but here validators receive collateral contribution from small stakers and share the rewards with them.
  1281. <ul class="wp-block-list">
  1282. <li><strong>Example</strong>: </li>
  1283. </ul>
  1284. </li>
  1285.  
  1286.  
  1287.  
  1288. <li><strong>Proof of Authority</strong> <strong>(PoA)</strong>: Here, a person or a group of persons are nominated to become validators. Anyone cannot join as a validator, though people can stake for rewards.
  1289. <ul class="wp-block-list">
  1290. <li><strong>Example</strong>: BNB Chain</li>
  1291. </ul>
  1292. </li>
  1293.  
  1294.  
  1295.  
  1296. <li><strong>Proof of Delegated Authority</strong> <strong>(PoDA)</strong>: These chains have a central elector and that elector chooses validators to verify the transactions. PoDS happens mostly in private blockchains.
  1297. <ul class="wp-block-list">
  1298. <li><strong>Example</strong>: Digital e-Rupee, Digital CNY</li>
  1299. </ul>
  1300. </li>
  1301.  
  1302.  
  1303.  
  1304. <li><strong>Proof of History</strong> <strong>(PoH)</strong>: In Proof of History, a validator signs time stamps on blocks which after a certain amount of time become valid.
  1305. <ul class="wp-block-list">
  1306. <li><strong>Example</strong>: Solana</li>
  1307. </ul>
  1308. </li>
  1309.  
  1310.  
  1311.  
  1312. <li><strong>Proof of Elapsed Time</strong> <strong>(PoET)</strong>: In these blockchains, a transaction is considered valid after no objection to it has been made for a certain period after it is broadcasted to the network.
  1313. <ul class="wp-block-list">
  1314. <li><strong>Example</strong>: Intel Sawtooth</li>
  1315. </ul>
  1316. </li>
  1317.  
  1318.  
  1319.  
  1320. <li><strong>Proof of Liquidity</strong> <strong>(PoL)</strong>: In these blockchains, the higher the liquidity provided by the validator is, the higher number of transactions they get to validate.
  1321. <ul class="wp-block-list">
  1322. <li><strong>Example</strong>: Berachain</li>
  1323. </ul>
  1324. </li>
  1325.  
  1326.  
  1327.  
  1328. <li><strong>Proof of Burn (PoB)</strong>: In these chains, the greater the number of native tokens a validator burns, the greater is the amount of transactions given to them for verification.
  1329. <ul class="wp-block-list">
  1330. <li><strong>Example: </strong>Slimcoin</li>
  1331. </ul>
  1332. </li>
  1333.  
  1334.  
  1335.  
  1336. <li><strong>Proof of Capacity (PoC)</strong>: Here, the number of transactions a validator receives to verify, is proportional to the capacity of their node.
  1337. <ul class="wp-block-list">
  1338. <li><strong>Example</strong>: Burstcoin</li>
  1339. </ul>
  1340. </li>
  1341. </ul>
  1342.

  1353. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top 5 Layer-1 Coins</h2>
  1354.  
  1355.  
  1356.  
  1357. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Bitcoin</h3>
  1358.  
  1359.  
  1360.  
  1361. <p>Bitcoin was the first blockchain to solve the double spending problem and present the first peer to peer money transfer system that did not require any middleman. It was presented by the mysterious cryptographer Satoshi Nakamoto in October 2008 and was soon launched in 2009.</p>
  1362.  
  1363.  
  1364.  
  1365. <p>At present, Bitcoin is the seventh largest asset in the world and is expected to become one of the top 5 very soon.</p>
  1366.  
  1367.  
  1368.  
  1369. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Ethereum</h3>
  1370.  
  1371.  
  1372.  
  1373. <p>Ethereum was the first layer-1 blockchain that presented the feature of smart contracts, which were automated coded applications able to perform complex financial operations like token swap, bridging tokens from one chain to another, lending, borrowing, market making, and a lot more things.</p>
  1374.  
  1375.  
  1376.  
  1377. <p>Ethereum has slowly developed to become one of the central pieces of blockchain infrastructure on which several other chains rely. </p>
  1378.  
  1379.  
  1380.  
  1381. <p>Ethereum runs on a virtual computer made of thousands of nodes. This virtual computer called the Ethereum Virtual Machine or EVM is where all its smart contracts, DeFi protocols, dApps, and other applications run.</p>
  1382.  
  1383.  
  1384.  
  1385. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. XRP</h3>
  1386.  
  1387.  
  1388.  
  1389. <p>XRP is one of the oldest layer-1 coins and its blockchain, the XRP Ledger was made public in 2013 to improve upon the slow transaction speeds of early blockchains like Bitcoin. The blockchain lacks the capability of smart contracts but has a very low settlement time of 3 to 5 seconds, making it a top choice for financial institutions, where people seek real-time settlements.</p>
  1390.  
  1391.  
  1392.  
  1393. <p>As a result, XRP was adopted by several financial and non-financial institutions including Google Capital, Tencent, Stripe, Amazon, and many others.</p>

  1398.  
  1399.  
  1400.  
  1401. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">4. Solana</h3>
  1402.  
  1403.  
  1404.  
  1405. <p>Solana is the fastest major layer-1 blockchain with a real-life tested capacity of of 65,000 transactions per second (tested during TRUMP launch). It has a unique dual consensus protocol, combining the Proof of Stake and the Proof of History consensus mechanisms which allows it to remain decentralized despite having a very high TPS.</p>
  1406.  
  1407.  
  1408.  
  1409. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">5. BNB Chain</h3>
  1410.  
  1411.  
  1412.  
  1413. <p>The BNB chain is a layer-1 blockchain developed by Binance and is based on the Ethereum Blockchain. The chain features ultra low fees and wrapped versions of almost all major tokens which allows beginners to self-custody their assets on the BNB chain with low cost.</p>

  1508. <content:encoded><![CDATA[
  1509. <p>Memecoins have been the largest gainers in the crypto markets in 2024, However, with the end of the memecoin supercycle and the concurring liquidity crisis, most memecoins have corrected almost 80% to 90% of their 2024 highs.</p>
  1510.

  1513. <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="421" src="https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/image-2-1024x421.png" alt="Memecoin Market Cap Trends" class="wp-image-47" srcset="https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/image-2-1024x421.png 1024w, https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/image-2-300x123.png 300w, https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/image-2-768x316.png 768w, https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/image-2-1536x632.png 1536w, https://a2zcryptocurrencies.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/image-2.png 1560w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><strong><em>Memecoin Market Cap Trends</em></strong></figcaption></figure>
  1514.  
  1515.  
  1516.  
  1517. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Dogecoin (DOGE)</h2>
  1518.  
  1519.  
  1520.  
  1521. <p>Dogecoin initially started as a joke but over the years has developed into one of the largest cryptocurrencies (among top 10 by market cap). The blockchain features a simple Proof of Work chain that  only does one thing blockchains were supposed to do, i.e., transfer value efficiently.</p>
  1522.  
  1523.  
  1524.  
  1525. <p>Despite cryptic and supportive Tweets from Elon Musk, Dogecoin has gained a very little from the SpaceX and X.com owner.</p>
  1526.  
  1527.  
  1528.  
  1529. <p>However, it has a very strong community which supports the token by HODLing it through tough times. By the end of Q1, 2025 Dogecoin had around 83.5 million active addresses.</p>
  1530.  
  1531.  
  1532.  
  1533. <p>In late 2024 and early 2025, Dogecoin suffered a massive crash from $0.48 to $0.14 due to the ongoing liquidity crisis in broader markets.</p>
  1534.  
  1535.  
  1536.  
  1537. <p>Going ahead, Dogecoin seems to have decent future because of its popularity, simplicity, high-grade security, and its easy to use technology.</p>
  1538.  
  1539.  
  1540.  
  1541. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Shiba Inu (SHIB)</h2>
  1542.  
  1543.  
  1544.  
  1545. <p>Shiba Inu is a very popular memecoin with its own layer-2 blockchain (Shibarium) and a complete ecosystem of reward tokens (LEASH), governance tokens (BONE), and utility tokens (SHIB). The project even has its own DeFi ecosystem with a DEX (ShibaSwap).</p>
  1546.  
  1547.  
  1548.  
  1549. <p>What makes Shiba Inu stand apart from other memecoins is its push for utility. The chain is open for development unlike Dogecoin and most other memecoins. This would helps Shiba Inu sustain in the markets even if all other memecoins vanish in the future.</p>
  1550.  
  1551.  
  1552.  
  1553. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Official Trump (TRUMP)</h2>
  1554.  
  1555.  
  1556.  
  1557. <p>TRUMP is the official meme coin of Donald Trump launched a couple of days before he assumed his Presidency in the USA. The launch of the memecoin saw one of the most volatile trading sessions in crypto markets, crashing Solana, the blockchain on which it was launched.</p>
  1558.  
  1559.  
  1560.  
  1561. <p>As long as Donald Trump remains the President of the United States the cryptocurrency might jump into value any time given the non-predictability of Donald Trump&#8217;s actions.</p>
  1562.  
  1563.  
  1564.  
  1565. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. Floki Inu (FLOKI)</h2>
  1566.  
  1567.  
  1568.  
  1569. <p>Floki Inu is a metaverse crypto and a memecoin. Like other dog-based memecoins, the crypto was also launched during the second memecoin rush in 2021. The first memecoin rush was in 2017, and the third was in 2024.</p>
  1570.  
  1571.  
  1572.  
  1573. <p>What makes Floki Inu appealing is the possible resurgence of metaverses as crypto markets begin to recover in 2025.</p>
  1574.  
  1575.  
  1576.  
  1577. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">5. DOGS</h2>
  1578.  
  1579.  
  1580.  
  1581. <p>The reason why we love dogs is a meme coin is because the crypto is highly distributed decentralized and almost no owner has a sufficient chunk to causeway any rug-pull. Overall, </p>
  1582.  
  1583.  
  1584.  
  1585. <p>In the last one year dogs has nearly lost 93% of its price and could possibly keep losing more which is why it is more of millionaire or nothing crypto, a very risky one.</p>

  1634. <description><![CDATA[Top AI cryptos for 2025 include Near Protocol, Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, Render, Virtuals and Worldcoin.]]></description>
  1635. <content:encoded><![CDATA[
  1636. <p>AI markets have been booming in the last few years due to the rise in demand along with the ability to process complex AI workloads through modern GPUs. </p>
  1637.  
  1638.  
  1639.  
  1640. <p>As AI enters our daily lives with projects like ChatGPT, Google&#8217;s Gemini, and many other tools, several projects have turned to blockchain technology to better address the monetization of these AI tools.</p>
  1641.  
  1642.  
  1643.  
  1644. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Near Protocol (NEAR)</h2>
  1645.  
  1646.  
  1647.  
  1648. <p>The Near Protocol is a blockchain network that supports AI with its scalable network. The project also has its own AI Agent.</p>
  1649.  
  1650.  
  1651.  
  1652. <p>NEAR is a well-tested blockchain that supports several real life applications of blockchain technology such as health monitoring applications (e.g., Sweatcoin), DeFi, and blockchain bridges (e.g., Allbridge).</p>
  1653.  
  1654.  
  1655.  
  1656. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI)</h2>
  1657.  
  1658.  
  1659.  
  1660. <p>Four crypto projects such as Fetch AI, The Ocean Protocol, Singularity NET and Cudos have joined under the banner of Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, a project that serves people who need democratic access to data on a blockchain.</p>
  1661.  
  1662.  
  1663.  
  1664. <ul class="wp-block-list">
  1665. <li>Fetch AI is a data trading platform on the blockchain.</li>
  1666.  
  1667.  
  1668.  
  1669. <li>The Ocean Protocol uses blockchain technology to share data in an anonymous way to protect the privacy of those who have generated it.</li>
  1670.  
  1671.  
  1672.  
  1673. <li>Singularity NET allows people to create, share and monetize their AI services via blockchain technology.</li>
  1674.  
  1675.  
  1676.  
  1677. <li>Cudos is a blockchain-based decentralized infrastructure project that lets its users access decentralized computing resources.</li>
  1678. </ul>
  1679.  
  1680.  
  1681.  
  1682. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Render Protocol (RENDER)</h2>
  1683.  
  1684.  
  1685.  
  1686. <p>The Render Protocol is a decentralized GPU sharing network that allows its users to share GPU with each other in return for a small fee. Any user can lend their GPU over its network and in turn get rewarded in crypto, which makes Render, a key infrastructure enabler in this space.</p>
  1687.  
  1688.  
  1689.  
  1690. <p>The protocol seems to have a solid future ahead because of the increasing demand for Graphic Processing Units, which in turn has been caused by the rise in AI-based businesses. Further, since Render is decentralized, it is much more resilient than cloud-based GPU vendors like Google Cloud or AWS.</p>
  1691.  
  1692.  
  1693.  
  1694. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL)</h2>
  1695.  
  1696.  
  1697.  
  1698. <p>The Virtuals Protocol is a decentralized AI-agent marketplace where anyone can build and share AI agents and get monetary rewards. </p>
  1699.  
  1700.  
  1701.  
  1702. <p>Virtuals is one of the largest players in the AI agent space with more than 14,700 agents. This dominance in the market allowed it to remain the fastest growing crypto in the Q1 of 2025, only halted by the liquidity crisis in the USA.</p>
  1703.  
  1704.  
  1705.  
  1706. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">5. Worldcoin (WLD)</h2>
  1707.  
  1708.  
  1709.  
  1710. <p>Worldcoin is a decentralized platform that allows humans to establish their &#8220;proof of humanity&#8221; in a digital environment (such as X.com) and avoid mistaking AI agents that might seem human but are indeed bots.</p>
  1711.  
  1712.  
  1713.  
  1714. <p>The project was started by Open AI co-founder Sam Altman and has been successfully used by several individuals and institutions.</p>
  1715.  
  1716.  
  1717.  
  1718. <p>Although Worldcoin ran into some controversies last year due to its iris-scanning methods, it has now adapted to a more privacy centric scans where iris data is deleted as soon as a hash of the scan is generated.</p>

  1783.  
  1784.  
  1785.  
  1786. <p>A key factor that makes XRP unique than other projects in this list is its partnerships with several US bank s and other financial giants. Further, XRP has a very simple to use but highly secure blockchain (XRPL). It also has recently launched its own stablecoin, the RLUSD.</p>
