- Solana and Chainlink are in Grayscale top 20 for Q1 2025.
- Both assets are critical to the evolution of DeFi, AI, and blockchain technologies.
At the end of 2024, leading asset management firm Grayscale unveiled its research report for Q1 2025. The company highlighted key trends within the cryptocurrency market, including the increase in market capitalization and the evolution of the Solana ecosystem. It also addressed smart contract competition and blockchain applications in AI agents. In this quarter’s report, Grayscale has announced the top 20 cryptocurrencies. Compared to the last quarter, this time around includes six new players.
The market cap of cryptocurrency saw a significant rise with a $1 trillion increase in Q4 2024. Grayscale has considered the acceleration of the Solana ecosystem to almost Ethereum’s level. Other alternative layer 1 blockchains such as Sui and Open Network (TON) have gained attention from some investors due to the slow growth of Ethereum.
Grayscale New Crypto Assets and Market Trends
Added crypto assets HYPE, ENA, VIRTUAL, JUP, JTO, and GRASS to bring Grayscale six new crypto additions to the class list of the top 20 in Q1 2025, which the investment firm took up in terms of alignment toward primary themes related to cryptos through the quarter-impart of US elections on crypt regulations, decentral finance, staking, breakthrough in AI technology, and finally Solana.
Among the newcomers, Hyperliquid’s HYPE and Ethena’s ENA have managed to enter the top ten. HYPE experienced a parabolic rise after its airdrop, driven by strong market fundamentals and positive investor sentiment, leading to new all-time highs. Trump’s cryptocurrency initiative, World Liberty Financial, boosted ENA’s market exposure, causing its price to increase.
Compared, the Virtual project token VIRTUAL flashed out to a brand-new ATH of $3.71 and retreated some 7%. As for the market of Q4 2024, it holds a bit of a downtrend yet showed altogether a might of Layer 1 such as Solana, innovative projects pushing boundaries of crypto space.
The entry of such cryptocurrencies is ready for this market and it has to be overhauled entirely by Q1 2025 as the report concludes in the Grayscale report.
