It is October 2025 and crypto is at the peak of its bull run. Thankfully, the four year cycle theory turned out to be true, so after the halving in April 2024, both Bitcoin and Ethereum broke their all time high and far surprassed the promised levels of $100K (Bitcoin) and $10K (Ethereum).
The bull run was sparked by a plethora of positive news. For example, China unbanned and fully embraced crypto, Tesla enabled paying with Bitcoin again because over 50% of the mining was done with green energy, and countries like Switzerland and Moonland ensured that everything could be paid with crypto.
Four year cycle theory was true!Obviously, in October 2025, Bitcoin and Ethereum still hold the #1 and #2 spot in terms of market cap. But which cryptocurrency projects (excluding Stablecoins) hold the #3, #4, and #5 spots, and why?
For reference, the current list is:
Bitcoin $449B
Ethereum $194B
BNB $48.3B
XRP $19.3B
Cardano $12.7B
Polygon $11.5B
Dogecoin $11.3B
Solana $8.6B
Polkadot $7.9B
Shiba Inu $7.4B
There has been a recent pushback against cryptocurrency, as evidenced by the investigation of Binance, one of the largest cryptocurrency companies. However, several countries such as El Salvador, India, Germany, and Slovenia have embraced cryptocurrency and made it legal tender. India and other countries have passed laws to this effect, while some countries like Nigeria and China have not.
The increasing availability of crypto cards, including those from major players like Coinbase, crypto.com, and Binance, has also contributed to the growing adoption of cryptocurrencies. MasterCard and VISA have played a key role in issuing these cards. Recently, Binance and Mastercard collaborated to release a debit card for their customers. Other payment networks like Bitpay, CryptoXpress, and CryptMi are also gaining popularity with their unique payment structures, including the ability to pay for services using cryptocurrency.
CrypMi, for example, offers virtual cards that can be used on over 100 million merchants worldwide and provides cashback for transactions. The app is integrated with different NFT markets making it easy to access NFTs. Bitpay crypto app is used to securely buy, store, swap, and spend cryptocurrencies. . CryptoXpress, like other payment apps, allows users to book flights and other services within the app. With the rise of these payment platforms and the increasing availability of crypto cards, we can expect to see further adoption of cryptocurrencies in the coming year.
