The Game of Capitalizations: The 10 Crypto-Beasts that Dominate the Market

What a circus! I've been swimming in this ocean of cryptocurrencies for years and I want to share my completely subjective vision of the 10 crypto-beasts that will dominate the digital jungle in 2025. Because yes, this is a jungle where only the strong survive.

1. Bitcoin (BTC)

The grandfather of cryptos remains at the top with its nearly 2.2 trillion dollars in capitalization. The "digital gold" they say... ha! More like the dinosaur that refuses to go extinct and that we all worship as if it were a religion. But let's face it, without BTC the rest wouldn't exist.

2. Ethereum (ETH)

The platform where everyone wants to build their digital castles. About 473 billion in market capitalization and up 47% in volume. What's the reason? Everyone still believes that ETH is the future, although the fees sometimes leave you without funds for coffee.

3. Tether (USDT)

The stablecoin that we all use but that no one fully trusts. "Do they really have all those dollars saved?" I wonder every night before I sleep. But we need it to escape when everything collapses.

4. USD Coin (USDC)

The "we follow the rules" version of Tether. Its invisible advertisement says: "We are like USDT but without the scandals." The favorite of institutions that want to seem serious.

5. BNB

The token of that gigantic exchange that I can't name. They created it out of nothing and now it’s worth a fortune. Every time I think about their success, I wonder why I didn't launch my own coin.

6. XRP

It survived a seemingly endless lawsuit and now banks love it for their transfers. If I had bought when everyone thought it was dead, I would be on my private yacht right now.

7. Solana (SOL)

"Ethereum but it works" was its unofficial slogan. Fast when it's not down. I've lost count of how many times it has resurrected after total outages. But who cares if it keeps going up?

8. Cardano (ADA)

The academic turtle of the crypto world. It moves so slowly that by the time it finally implements something, there are already three more advanced technologies. But its community is so loyal that it is frightening.

9. Dogecoin (DOGE)

A meme worth billions. What started as a joke is now worth more than century-old companies. If this is not proof that we live in a simulation, I don't know what is.

10. Shiba Inu (SHIB)

The copy of the copy. The "I also want to be a millionaire with a little dog" token. And yet, there it is, in the top 10, mocking centuries of economic theory.

This market is crazier than a goat, with volume decreasing by 2.36% yesterday but with projects that continue to amass fortunes. I don’t know about you, but I’m still here, betting and cursing every time I look at my portfolio.

Never take this as financial advice. I myself have lost more money than I would like to admit by following my own hunches.
