As the year winds down, the crypto market is hot, especially around meme coins and new projects. Investors are rushing to get tokens they think will moon in 2025. Shiba Inu and Dogecoin are still the kings of the meme coin space, while new projects like Floki and ONDO are gaining traction fast.
These coins are getting attention because of their active communities and ongoing developments, and people are optimistic about their future growth. In this article, we are looking at 5 cryptocurrencies—Shiba Inu, Dogecoin, Floki, ONDO, and Ripple—that can moon and give 500x returns in 2025.
1. Shiba Inu (SHIB) – Expert projects a 234% surge by 2025
Shiba Inu (SHIB) is getting investor attention in 2024 because of its potential for the moon. Currently priced at $0.00002219. SHIB has gone up 2.65% in the last 24 hours and is struggling to break through a sell wall at $0.000027.
However, the burn rate for SHIB has gone up 160% because of the community’s efforts to decrease the token supply. Analysts say if Bitcoin breaks $100,000, a bullish rally could happen, and SHIB could reach new highs.
Recently, SHIB dropped 20% and went as low as $0.00001853. But it has recovered and is now at $0.00002271. Market experts like Javon Marks are forecasting 234% surge in SHIB’s value to $0.000081. That’s 3.33x returns for current holders. Technical analysis shows a bullish engulfing candle and a possible retest of SHIB’s all time high of $0.00008854.
Shiba Inu’s ecosystem is getting a major overhaul with the launch of SHIB: The Metaverse, a platform that combines blockchain and immersive digital experiences. The metaverse has customizable avatars, interactive activities, and over 100,595 digital land plots priced between 0.2 ETH and 1 ETH.
These plots are for creative projects and passive income. Powered by Shibarium, the platform allows fast transactions and user engagement. Originally planned to launch in Dec. 2023, but early access started in 2024.
Ten hubs have been released, and Marcie Jastrow, an entertainment industry expert, is an advisor. The metaverse is part of Shiba Inu’s deflationary efforts as regular token burns will decrease supply and increase scarcity.
Over 5.3 million SHIB burned in 24 hours, and ecosystem activity remains strong as users mint NFTs and enter the metaverse. Shiba Inu is redefining digital ownership and collaboration.
2. Dogecoin (DOGE) – DOGE to rally 570% to $2.28 as whales weigh in
Dogecoin (DOGE) has been in the spotlight despite recent price drops. Currently, at $0.3206, DOGE is down 46% from its December high of $0.48434. However, analysts say DOGE could go up by 570% to $2.28 based on historical patterns and on-chain data.
Whales are helping to cushion Dogecoin’s recent downturn. Transactions over $100,000 have jumped to 9,410, the highest since November 2021. Over the last 5 days alone, whales have bought 270 million DOGE worth $89 million. Buying during dips often means they’re confident in the long term. These transactions also provide the liquidity to support the price and prevent further drops.
Crypto analyst Javon Marks has some technical insights on Dogecoin. He says DOGE could follow its previous bullish cycles and go above the 1.618 Fibonacci extension. Marks thinks DOGE will first target $0.569, a break above that, and then 570% to $2.28. Historical patterns from 2017 and 2021 match this scenario where Dogecoin went from cycle lows to all-time highs after breaking above key Fibonacci levels.
Dogecoin is getting support from big names like Elon Musk. His recent tweet about the fictional D.O.G.E Department of Government Efficiency increased the token’s visibility. If DOGE goes to $2.28, investors buying now could see returns of over 570%. With strong technicals, whale support, and big-name backing, Dogecoin looks good for 2025.
3. FLOKI _ Will the upcoming ETP launch pump in 2025?
Despite Floki DAO’s initiative to bring institutional adoption, FLOKI’s price has not moved much. Currently, at $0.00017929, FLOKI is down 6.88% in the last week, reflecting the current bearish market.
The DAO proposed to allocate 16 billion FLOKI tokens worth $2.8 million to support the launch of an ETP in Europe. But so far, the market is not reacting much as 140 votes are in favor and none against. Voting ends on December 27 at 11:00 UTC.
Analysts are watching closely, and some think the ETP launch in Q1 2025 will pump. Technicals show FLOKI is finding support between $0.00015560 and $0.00018399. If it breaks above immediate resistance at $0.00018351, it could go between $0.00027000 and $0.00036016.
Hallie and Crypto Spotter think FLOKI is oversold and a buy. They don’t think prices will go back to current levels in the next 6 months and expect a big bounce.
If the ETP gets approved, FLOKI will be one of the few memecoins with institutional-grade investment products in Europe. This will be a big boost for FLOKI’s market and visibility.
Beyond the ETP, FLOKI’s ecosystem is growing. The new Mastercard-backed crypto debit card allows users in 31 European countries to transact with multiple cryptocurrencies, including FLOKI. The integration of the BAD Protocol will bring AI to the BNB Chain and make FLOKI more useful.
The meme coin market is worth $112 billion, and FLOKI was up 393% in 2024. As FLOKI moves towards institutional-grade adoption and utility expansion, its position in the crypto space is getting stronger.
4. Ripple (XRP) – Why XRP could hit $3 soon
Ripple’s XRP is the star of the show in the crypto market, and several developments are pointing to big gains. XRP just hit $2.25 and showed incredible strength during the market downturn. Analysts are projecting a move to $3 by the end of 2024, which is 40% from current levels. Looking further ahead, some are expecting XRP to cross $50 in the next few years.
The New York Department of Financial Services approving Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin is a big deal. This regulatory approval has brought in institutional investors and XRP’s market cap is now $139 billion. Early birds who position themselves now will benefit from this institutional wave.
Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) is gaining traction in Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Banks all over the world are adopting this technology for instant transfers. This growing utility will pump up XRP’s price as more institutions join the network.
Catalysts for 2025
- XRP ETF approval
- New SEC administration
- Global partnerships
- XRP Ledger scalability
- RLUSD institutional adoption
Support levels at $2.20 and $1.98 are entry points. A break above $2.25 will be strong. The descending triangle accumulation at these levels will be profitable if the breakout happens.
5. Ondo (ONDO) – Transforming traditional finance with 200% growth in 2025
ONDO Finance’s innovative approach to merging traditional financial products with blockchain is a great investment opportunity. As they reshape access to stable yield-generating assets, early birds will benefit in the digital finance space.
With ONDO’s partnership with BlackRock and custody with Coinbase, the institutional framework is solid. Professional backing like this is rare in crypto projects. Industry experts say this could take ONDO from $1.51 to $2.10 and beyond as institutions come on board.
The USDY token, backed by U.S. Treasury yields, is a game changer for digital assets. This real-world asset backing has drawn in traditional finance players. Recent market data shows potential returns of up to 200% based on historical patterns and growing institutional interest.
Market technicals show $1.45 as a key support level where smart money accumulates. A strong bounce from here could take it to $2.00 and 38% returns. Above this, new all-time highs could be in sight, potentially $3.00-$4.00 by 2025.
ONDO’s regulated, yield generating products have hit a nerve with institutional investors looking for crypto exposure. With a $2.05b market cap, growing institutional participation could mean big valuation increases. Get in early as a retail investor before the institutions do and you’ll capture the most returns.
Whales are accumulating at the $1.45 support level. Risk management says to put stop losses below $1.40 and position sizes that can withstand short-term volatility. The pattern of the head and shoulders needs to be monitored for key support levels.
Trading volumes show institutional interest during recent pullbacks. The current price drop from $2.10 is a good entry point for investors looking for regulated DeFi yields. Historical data shows similar pullbacks have preceded big rallies.
ONDO’s growing list of traditional finance products on blockchain puts it in a unique position in the market. The focus on regulatory compliance and real-world asset backing gives it a solid foundation for growth. Increasing institutional adoption could mean price appreciation through 2025.
Conclusion
2025 is going to be a big year for crypto. Established and new projects will have opportunities. Meme coins have become a big segment of the market, with a total market cap of over $110b. Shiba Inu and Dogecoin have been up for months, and newbies like Pepe have given 1,000% returns in a year. ONDO’s focus on decentralized governance has given them a 57.5% price pump. Ripple’s blockchain solutions are still getting institutional and retail attention, setting up for big growth in 2025.
