As the crypto market gears up for what many expect to be a major bull run in 
2025, top analysts are beginning to share their most realistic price 
predictions for leading digital assets like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), 
Chainlink (LINK), Binance Coin (BNB), Aptos (APT), and others. Though their 
forecasts vary in optimism, there’s a shared consensus that significant gains 
are likely on the horizon. Bitcoin, Ethereum, LINK, BNB And Aptos Price 
Forecast As excitement builds around the next potential crypto bull run, well- 
known crypto analyst and YouTube host Altcoin Daily has released a fresh batch 
of “realistic” price predictions for major digital assets expected to perform 
strongly in 2025. Related Reading: The Final Bitcoin Act: Here’s What To 
Expect As BTC Trends Sideways In the forecast posted on X social media, 
Bitcoin is expected to reach a peak of $150,000 during the next bull market. 
Currently trading at $117,629, the flagship cryptocurrency has pulled back 
from its recent all-time high above $123,000. To reach the projected $150,000 
target, BTC would need to surge by roughly 27.52% from its current level. 
Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, is also set for significant gains 
this cycle. Altcoin Daily forecasts that the altcoin is likely to hit $5,000 
in 2025. Over the past few weeks, Ethereum has posted strong gains, overcoming 
key resistance and emerging from a prolonged consolidation phase. Now trading 
at $3,696, the top altcoin has surged by an impressive 61.45% over the past 
month. From this level, ETH would need to climb approximately 35.26% to reach 
a $5,000 peak. Weighing in on other major altcoins, Chainlink, the leading 
decentralized oracle provider, is expected to rise to $30, representing a 
potential surge of over 57% from its current price of $19.1. As for Binance 
Coin, Altcoin Daily anticipates a strong rally toward the $1,000 mark from 
BNB’s current price of $759. For the final forecast, Altcoin Daily sets a $10 
target for Aptos, a relatively newer Layer-1 blockchain. At the time of 
writing, the token is trading at $5.25, meaning it is expected to surge by 
approximately 90.5% to reach the expected peak. Realistic Targets For 2025 
Altcoin Season Offering a significantly more inclusive forecast, crypto 
analyst Domba.eth took to X to share realistic price targets for 19 major 
cryptocurrencies ahead of the anticipated 2025 altcoin season. In line with 
Altcoin Daily’s projection, Domba.eth forecasts a relatively similar peak 
range for BTC, ETH, and BNB. Related Reading: Altcoin Season Index Spikes 
Above 30, But Bitcoin Dominance Remains High, What Next? The analyst’s 
projection also extends to cryptocurrencies not covered by Altcoin Daily, 
including Solana, XRP, and Cardano. Notably, Solana is expected to rise 
between $300 and $500 during the upcoming altcoin season, suggesting a 
possible surge of 50% to 152% from its current price of $199.1. XRP, which 
recently saw a sharp rally above $3.5, is forecasted to rise between $3.2 and 
$4.7, assuming positive sentiment remains strong and legal clarity improves. 
Meanwhile, Cardano is expected to reach a range of $1.2 to $2.1, representing 
a potential gain of roughly 38% to 141.4% from its present price of $0.87.
