As crypto eyes another bull run heading into 2025, investors are on the hunt for next low-cap altcoins with strong fundamentals. According to an analyst, two tokens are quietly preparing for a surge, and they might just be early gems in the next DeFi wave.
Aerodrome (Base Chain): Undervalued and Generating Serious Fees
The first project turning heads is Aerodrome, a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol on Base, Ethereum’s layer-2 network. While it’s not the biggest in terms of total value locked (TVL), Aerodrome is leading the Base ecosystem in fees and revenue.
TVL on Base has been rising rapidly, and stablecoin usage is trending upward. Among all Base protocols, Aerodrome dominates in revenue, far outpacing its peers like Morpho and Spark.
The Aerodrome token has been trading in a sideways channel since March, and this could be a prime accumulation zone. If prices dip toward the bottom of the range, it may offer a strong buying opportunity, especially if Bitcoin holds firm
BlackHole (Avalanche): The Breakout Newcomer
Next up is BlackHole, a brand-new DeFi token on Avalanche that’s catching fire. With $200 million+ in TVL and skyrocketing fees, it’s already out-earning top Avalanche protocols.
What makes BlackHole unique is its bridge infrastructure, enabling users to move tokens like PEPE between chains seamlessly. With growing rumors of Avalanche partnering with institutions, this infrastructure could become a critical piece of future adoption.
In just weeks, BlackHole crossed $1 billion in cumulative trading volume, and its active user base is growing.
