The crypto industry is brimmed with projects that provide substantial gains, but many of these projects fall as quickly as they rise.
There’s a science behind identifying cryptocurrencies that can grow long-term. It revolves around understanding a combination of use cases, tokenomics, token distribution methods, and security.
This article identifies four of the best cryptos to buy now, which could provide long-term gains in 2025 and beyond.
MIND Of Pepe
MIND Of Pepe ticks all the boxes of a project with long-term potential. Its use case is a meme coin that uses AI to make its community money. If it works as planned, there will be a non-stop stream of buyers investing in $MIND.
The project is building an AI agent that can automatically write tweets, launch tokens, monitor trends, and interact with dApps.
$MIND holders get exclusive access to trend analysis and insider information on token launches before the agent promotes them on social media.
25% of the total supply is allocated to the agent for it to trade or deploy as it sees fit for the betterment of the community.
The project is also undergoing a presale, which provides all traders with a fair opportunity to buy at a fixed price. So far, the presale has raised $5.8 million.
Regarding security, Coinsult and Solid Proof tested MIND Of Pepe’s smart contract and found it to be safe and secure.
BTC Bull Token
BTC Bull Token is a new Bitcoin-themed meme coin on the Ethereum blockchain. It’s the only crypto to pay real BTC rewards.
The project has teamed up with multi-chain crypto wallet Best Wallet so you can buy $BTCBULL with ETH and have $BTC paid into the same app, removing the complexities that come with most Bitcoin wallets.
Rewards will be paid at key milestones as Bitcoin’s price advances toward $1 million. With catalysts such as Bitcoin ETFs and a potential Bitcoin strategic reserve in the US, the future looks bright for Bitcoin and, thereby, the BTC Bull Token.
The project also has staking and burning mechanisms, meaning there will not only be significant demand but also a shortage of tokens to help increase value.
It’s undergoing a presale and has raised $550K in its opening 48 hours.
The BTC Bull whitepaper promises “regular reviews” of its security audits to ensure safe, transparent staking and token distribution.
Kaspa
Kaspa is a payment cryptocurrency that tackles the “blockchain trilemma” through a technology called BlockDAG.
The purpose of Kaspa is to create a blockchain-based transaction network that is scalable, decentralized, and secure. Networks such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana have been unable to achieve this feat.
Kaspa’s BlockDAG technology enables it to create blocks in parallel, making it faster while maintaining security and decentralization.
It was a fair launch, with no reserves allocated to insiders. All tokens were distributed through mining. Similar to the presale model, this community-first system is foundational to long-term growth.
Currently, KAS is trading at $0.095, down 7.5% today and 54% from it’s all-time high (ATH), which occurred in May.
Ethereum
Ethereum is currently one of only two cryptocurrencies with a spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) alongside Bitcoin.
It’s also the second-largest cryptocurrency, only following Bitcoin.
After the launch of Ethereum’s ETF in July, Ethereum’s momentum was surprisingly slow. However, the project has begun to gather pace recently regarding institutional adoption, with ETF inflows ramping up and Goldman Sachs recently revealing that they own $475 million of Ethereum ETFs, a 1,800% increase since November.
Another thing to note is that Ethereum has its highest-ever level of leveraged short positions open right now. Typically, the market moves to liquidate leveraged positions, meaning ETH could see unprecedented upward repricing in the coming weeks.
Ethereum launched as an ICO in 2014 and is regarded as one of the most decentralized and secure cryptocurrencies on the market, underlining its long-term potential.
