Which projects will dominate the next bull run?

The market's watching several contenders closely right now. Layer-1 blockchains like XRP and Kaspa have been showing solid momentum. Meme coins? Doge keeps proving staying power, while newer entries like Drover Inu and Baby Doge are gaining traction fast.

Then there's the infrastructure angle—Hydra Chain and Ping are betting on scalability and speed. Over on the DeFi side, Luna Classic still has believers despite its history. Verasity's pushing play-to-earn mechanics.

Smaller caps like Ckok, Paws, Dogs, and Pi are the wildcards nobody's quite sure about yet.

Honestly? The bull run won't have just one leader. It never does. We'll probably see sector rotation—Layer-1s pump first, then meme coins explode, infrastructure gets its moment, and late-cycle money chases the riskiest bets.

What's your money on? Different thesis or going all-in on one of these?

XRP-0.58%

KAS-0.83%

MMT-4.98%

MEME-6.12%

It's all old news, still stuck debating L1 and Meme coins. The real money-making opportunities have already been taken over by big players.

ngl, another old cliché of "who will win"... We all know the answer in our hearts is that everyone will win one round, the question is whether you can keep the rhythm right.

Bro, this analysis is okay, but I still think this wave favors the rebound potential of small-cap coins... After all, when Bitcoin is rallying, small-cap assets tend to rise first.

It's that same "rotation theory" again... alright, anyway, I bet XRP will rise first, but to be honest, these small coins really can only be gambled on luck, you can't bet on them.

Who's going to lead the next wave? To be honest, I've heard these arguments too many times. In the end, it's the bottom-fish who get trapped, and the cheerleaders who get cut.

Luna Classic believers are really unbelievable. How can they believe this?
