As the crypto market shows clear signs of recovery, optimism is returning to the scene. Bitcoin has surged past $93,000, and major altcoins are posting gains of over 15% in just a few days.
The broader rally comes as multiple macro and regulatory factors tilt in crypto’s favor—Trump has paused the rollout of new China tariffs, Paul Atkins has officially taken the reins as the new SEC Chair, and hopes of interest rate cuts are gaining momentum.
With fear cooling off and confidence building, market watchers are turning bullish again. Popular analyst Crypto Christopher believes this is just the beginning of a much bigger rally. He’s spotlighting five top altcoins that he says are ready to explode before the bull run peaks.
1. Ethereum (ETH):
Christopher remains ultra-bullish on Ethereum, calling it “massively undervalued” around the $1,600 mark. Unlike Bitcoin, ETH hasn’t set a new all-time high this cycle—yet. With Ethereum continuing to dominate DeFi, Web3, and Layer-2 infrastructure, he sees a conservative 3x to 4x upside, and even hints at a potential $10,000 price target in a bullish scenario.
“This is a generational buying opportunity,” he states.
2. XRP:
Despite regulatory turbulence in recent years, XRP is back on the radar. Christopher sees massive upside potential driven by the coin’s global utility and ambitions for government adoption. XRP has a history of explosive price surges, and with a favorable macro backdrop and increasing utility, the analyst believes it could one day rival Ethereum in market cap.
3. Binance Coin (BNB):
BNB is staging a comeback. With rising trading volume, regular token burns, and cheaper transactions compared to Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain is regaining its developer base. Christopher expects BNB to smash through previous highs, potentially hitting $1,000 or more as new DeFi projects and liquidity return to the ecosystem.
4. Cardano (ADA):
Often labeled a slow mover, Cardano hasn’t seen the breakout action other Layer 1s have. But Christopher argues that ADA’s current range-bound price is a blessing in disguise. With ADA still well below its $3 ATH, he projects a 5x return is possible.
“For conservative investors using low leverage, ADA is one of the safest bets right now,” he adds.
Closing the list of top altcoins is Solana, which Christopher dubs one of the strongest Layer 1 ecosystems today. Despite past concerns over network outages, meme coin mania and skyrocketing user volume are fueling momentum. From its current price around $140, Christopher sees 2x to 3x gains ahead, with up to 10x potential on leveraged positions if network growth holds. As market sentiment flips bullish and institutional inflows return, these top altcoins are well-positioned for the next leg of the bull run. While Bitcoin leads the charge, it’s these carefully selected altcoins that could deliver outsized gains, especially if history repeats itself.

The strategic reserve announcement triggered a massive Cardano rally, but the surge proved short-lived. As investors rushed to secure profits from Trump’s crypto reserve announcement, the market quickly erased most of its gains.
Despite the increased selling pressure and overall bearish momentum, Rollblock remains in the green, holding strong with a 600% surge. While major tokens like Cardano are experiencing daily drops of 10-15%, Rollblock continues outperforming the market.
Its resilience comes from its game-changing approach to a $450 billion industry, bringing blockchain security to online gaming and setting a new standard for transparency and trust.
Analysts See Cardano Surge After the Strategic Reserve Announcement Hype Dials Down
Cardano surged after Donald Trump announced the U.S. Crypto Reserve, naming Cardano, XRP, and Solana alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum. Trump emphasized that the initiative would “elevate the critical industry” after years of regulatory challenges.
The announcement sparked a 60% surge in just two hours, pushing ADA from $0.64 to $1, its highest level in over a month. The rally extended to $1.17, marking an 80% rebound from its Friday low of $0.58. However, profit-taking and market uncertainty led to a sharp pullback.
ADA has since dropped 13% in the last 24 hours, now trading around $0.83. The decline followed Trump’s confirmation of a 25% tariff on Canadian and Mexican imports and an expected 10% tariff on Chinese goods. The announcement rattled markets, prompting investors to reduce exposure to risk assets like ADA.
Despite short-term selling pressure, large investors are accumulating. Santiment data shows whales holding between 10 million and 100 million ADA purchased over 200 million tokens in 24 hours, signaling strong institutional interest.
Cardano’s network activity is also rising. DappRadar reports a 13% increase in unique active wallets, while daily transactions have surged 200% to 17,120. DefiLlama data shows Cardano’s TVL has climbed 21.54% to $357.5 million, reinforcing investor confidence.
Crypto analyst Ali Martinez sees a bullish breakout if ADA closes above $1.19, with a potential rally to $2.20 an 84% upside. Sjuul from AltCryptoGems highlights a potential “Power of 3” pattern, suggesting further momentum ahead.
Rollblock Attracts 50,000+ Investors With Its 600% Surge Toward $0.06
Rollblock’s presale has been a major success, raising $11 million from over 50,000 early investors worldwide. RBLK has surged 600% across ten presale rounds and is now priced at $0.06, reflecting strong demand for the project.
Momentum continues to grow with new presale bonuses for March. Investors can now earn a 30% referral bonus for inviting friends and a 20% purchase bonus on all new buys. These offers can be stacked for a total bonus of 50%, further increasing interest in RBLK and attracting more participants.
Rollblock’s rise has caught the attention of the Web3 space. YouTuber Professor Crypto recently highlighted the platform’s potential, reinforcing its position as a top GameFi project for 2025.
The platform merges blockchain security with online gaming, offering 7,000+ AI-powered games from ten leading iGaming developers all fully on-chain. This ensures a transparent, fraud-proof gaming experience, enhancing trust among players. Rollblock holds an e-gaming license from the Anjouan Gaming Authority and has passed a SolidProof audit, further strengthening its credibility.
At the core of the ecosystem is RBLK, Rollblock’s native token. With a fixed 1 billion supply, its deflationary model drives long-term value. Up to 30% of platform revenue funds token buybacks, with 60% of repurchased tokens burned and 40% distributed as staking rewards, continuously reducing supply and increasing demand.
What Makes Investors Love Rollblock?
Cardano has faced significant pressure over the past month, slipping more than 3% amid growing trade war uncertainty. In contrast, Rollblock has maintained a steady upward trajectory, climbing from $0.045 at the start of February to $0.06.
With a total surge of over 600% across ten presale rounds, Rollblock has emerged as the most successful presale of 2025. Investor interest continues to grow, fueled by the platform’s cumulative 50% presale bonus. It has drawn in a wave of new participants eager to secure their share before the next price increase.

China’s recent directive for its state-owned banks to decrease reliance on the US dollar has amplified a growing trend among countries seeking alternatives to the dominant reserve assets. In some instances, Bitcoin has emerged as a viable competitor.
BeInCrypto spoke with experts from VanEck, CoinGecko, Gate.io, HashKey Research, and Humanity Protocol to understand Bitcoin’s rise as an alternative to the US dollar and its potential for greater influence in global geopolitics.
The Push for De-Dollarization
Since the 2008 global financial crisis, China has gradually reduced its reliance on the US dollar. The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) has now instructed state-owned banks to reduce dollar purchases amid the heightened trade war with US President Donald Trump.
China is among many nations seeking to lessen its dependence on the dollar. Russia, like its southern neighbor, has received an increasing number of Western sanctions– especially following its invasion of Ukraine.
Furthermore, Rosneft, a major Russian commodities producer, has issued RMB-denominated bonds, indicating a shift towards RBM, the Chinese currency, and a move away from Western currencies due to sanctions.
This global shift away from predominant reserve currencies is not limited to countries affected by Western sanctions. Aiming to increase the Rupee’s international use, India has secured agreements for oil purchases in Indian Rupee (INR) and trade with Malaysia in INR.
The country has also pursued creating a local currency settlement system with nine other central banks.
As more nations consider alternatives to the US dollar’s dominance, Bitcoin has emerged as a functional monetary tool that can serve as an alternative reserve asset.
Why Nations Are Turning to Bitcoin for Trade Independence
Interest in using cryptocurrency for purposes beyond international trade has also grown. In a notable development, China and Russia have reportedly settled some energy transactions using Bitcoin and other digital assets.
“Sovereign adoption of Bitcoin is accelerating this year as demand grows for neutral payments rails that can circumvent USD sanctions,” Matthew Sigel, Head of Digital Assets Research at VanEck, told BeInCrypto.
Two weeks ago, France’s Minister of Digital Affairs proposed using the surplus production of EDF, the country’s state-owned energy giant, to mine Bitcoin.
Last week, Pakistan announced similar plans to allocate part of its surplus electricity to Bitcoin mining and AI data centers.
Meanwhile, on April 10, New Hampshire’s House passed HB302, a Bitcoin reserve bill, by a 192-179 vote, sending it to the Senate. This development makes New Hampshire the fourth state, after Arizona, Texas, and Oklahoma, to have such a bill pass a legislative chamber.
If HB302 is approved by the Senate and signed into law, the state treasurer could invest up to 10% of the general fund and other authorized funds in precious metals and specific digital assets like Bitcoin.
According to industry experts, this is only the beginning.
VanEck Predicts Bitcoin to Become a Future Reserve Asset
Sigel predicts Bitcoin will become a key medium of exchange by 2025 and, ultimately, one of the world’s reserve currencies.
His forecasts suggest Bitcoin could settle 10% of global international trade and 5% of global domestic trade. This scenario would lead to central banks holding 2.5% of their assets in BTC.
According to him, China’s recent de-dollarization will prompt other nations to follow suit and lessen their reliance on the US dollar.
“China’s de-dollarization efforts are already having second- and third-order effects that create opportunities for alternative assets like Bitcoin. When the world’s second-largest economy actively reduces its exposure to US Treasuries and promotes cross-border trade in yuan or through mechanisms like the mBridge project, it signals to other nations—especially those with strained ties to the West—that the dollar is no longer the only game in town,” Sigel said.
For Zhong Yang Chan, Head of Research at CoinGecko, these efforts could prove catastrophic for the United States’ dominance.
“Broader de-dollarization efforts by China, or other major economies, will threaten the status of the dollar’s global reserve currency status. This could have [a] profound impact on the US and its economy, as this would lead to nations reducing their holdings of US treasuries, which the US relies on to finance its national debt,” he told BeInCrypto.
However, the strength of the US dollar and other dominant currencies has already shown signs of weakening.
A General Wave of Currency Decline
Sigel’s research shows that the four strongest global currencies—the US dollar, Japanese yen, British pound, and European euro—have lost value over time, particularly in cross-border payments.
The decline of these currencies creates a void where Bitcoin can gain traction as a key alternative for international trade settlements.
“This shift isn’t purely about promoting the yuan. It’s also about minimizing vulnerability to US sanctions and the politicization of payment rails like SWIFT. That opens the door for neutral, non-sovereign assets—especially those that are digitally native, decentralized, and liquid,” Sigel added.
This lack of national allegiance also sets Bitcoin apart from traditional currencies.
Bitcoin’s Appeal: A Non-Sovereign Alternative
Unlike fiat money or central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), Bitcoin doesn’t respond to any one nation, which makes it appealing to some countries.
For Terence Kwok, CEO and Founder of Humanity Protocol, recent geopolitical tensions have heightened this belief.
For these same reasons, experts don’t expect Bitcoin to replace fiat currencies fully but rather provide a vital alternative for certain cases.
A Replacement or an Alternative?
While Bitcoin offers several advantages over traditional currencies, Gate.io’s Kevin Lee doesn’t foresee its eventual adoption causing a complete overhaul of the currency reserve system.
Recent data confirms this. The number of Bitcoin transactions has fallen significantly since the last quarter of 2024. Bitcoin registered over 610,684 transactions in November, but that number dropped to 376,369 in April, according to Glassnode data.
The number of Bitcoin active addresses paints a similar picture. In December, the network had nearly 891,623 addresses. Today, that number stands at 609,614.

This decline suggests reduced demand for its blockchain in terms of transactions, usage, and adoption, meaning fewer people are actively using it for transfers, business, or Bitcoin-based applications.
Meanwhile, the Bitcoin network must also ensure its infrastructure is efficient enough to meet global demand.
Can Bitcoin Scale for Global Use?
In 2018, Lightning Labs launched the Lightning Network to reduce the cost and time required for cryptocurrency transactions. Currently, the Bitcoin network can only handle around seven transactions per second, while Visa, for example, handles around 65,000.
“If expansion solutions (such as the Lightning Network) fail to become popular, Bitcoin’s ability to process only about 7 transactions per second will be difficult to support global demand. At the same time, as Bitcoin block rewards are gradually halved, the decline in miners’ income may threaten the long-term security of the network,” Guo, Director of HashKey Research explained.
While the confluence of geopolitical shifts and Bitcoin’s inherent characteristics undeniably create a space for its increased adoption as an alternative to the US dollar and even a potential reserve asset, significant hurdles remain.
Achieving mainstream Bitcoin adoption hinges on overcoming scalability, volatility, regulatory hurdles, stablecoin competition, and ensuring network security.
The unfolding panorama suggests Bitcoin will carve out an important role in the global financial system, though a complete overhaul of established norms seems unlikely in the immediate future.
