The crypto markets immediately started recovering after President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for countries that haven’t retaliated against the US. This move triggered a jump in the price of Bitcoin (BTC), pushing it back above $82,000 on April 9. Other major cryptocurrencies like Ethereum (ETH), XRP, and Solana (SOL) also saw notable gains as trade war tensions eased.
In the meantime, the US House Financial Services Committee’s Subcommittee on Digital Assets held a hearing to refine crypto market structure legislation. With growing regulatory and legislative clarity, crypto adoption by both retail and institutional players is accelerating.
Below, we’ve highlighted the three top cryptos that could see explosive growth in 2025.
MIND of Pepe
The best crypto to buy right now is MIND of Pepe (MIND), the first Pepe-themed meme coin that’s building trading tools to offer real-time market insights to its token holders.
MIND of Pepe’s AI agent will operate using a specialized large language model, which has been trained on more than 60,000 crypto-specific tweets and 3,000 carefully selected market insights. This in-depth training allows the AI to interpret and adapt to the dynamic psychology of crypto traders, ultimately helping it spot trending narratives before they explode.
MIND has already raised over $7.9 million in its ongoing presale, with the $8 million milestone on the horizon.
Instead of passively reacting to market conditions, MIND of Pepe’s AI agent will analyze on-chain activity, track social media sentiment, and even engage with dApps to identify emerging opportunities.
The AI will also autonomously create and deploy completely new tokens when it detects a market opportunity, giving MIND holders priority access to these tokens. MIND token holders will also get exclusive access to a sophisticated trading dashboard, which will offer analytics, engagement metrics, and a ChatGPT-like interface that’s fine-tuned for crypto.
Currently, MIND is available for a discounted price of $0.0037015 in its latest presale phase—but investors only have a limited time to grab the tokens before the sale concludes and MIND of Pepe announces its first exchange listings.
Chainlink
Another utility-focused crypto on our top cryptos list is Chainlink (LINK). Known primarily for its huge array of decentralized oracle networks (DONs), Chainlink provides the fundamental Web3 infrastructure layer that enables smart contracts to interact with real-world data, APIs, and external systems.
Chainlink’s key advantage is its capacity to offer dependable, tamper-proof data feeds and off-chain computation to smart contracts, addressing a universal requirement in the blockchain space.
LINK is currently trading above the psychological level of $12, down over 75% from its 2021 all-time high (ATH).
Recent developments have fueled optimism for LINK. For example, PayPal has expanded its crypto offerings to include Chainlink, allowing US users to buy, sell, and transfer LINK via both PayPal and Venmo. This integration offers broader market exposure, and shows that mainstream financial platforms recognize LINK’s significance.
Chainlink’s technology is extensively used by thousands of other projects and companies, and secures billions of dollars in value across DeFi applications and other trending Web3 sectors.
Additionally, Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) aims to improve blockchain interoperability, further solidifying its position in the market.
Aave
Aave (AAVE) is one of the largest DeFi protocols in the world, allowing users to lend and borrow cryptocurrencies on a peer-to-peer basis without the need for an intermediary.
Since its launch in 2017, Aave has attracted many thousands of active users because of its innovative features (like flash loans) and its wide range of supported assets.
So far, AAVE has managed to stay above the $130 mark, down almost 80% from its ATH peak—which it achieved in May 2021.
While that’s a steep pullback, Aave’s fundamentals tell a different story as its total value locked (TVL) surpassed $17.6 billion as of April 10.
Also, the Aave DAO recently approved a $24 million buyback program. This involves buying $1 million worth of AAVE tokens weekly over six months, aiming to reduce the circulating supply and stabilize or potentially increase the token’s price.
This is a bold strategic move that could help AAVE regain some of the ground lost in the recent downtrend.
