Everyone is actively entering the market now because they really feel, " Hey, we've got a few years of regulatory certainty." As the crypto industry becomes regulated for the first time in history, and as hundreds of trillions of dollars literally move online, there will be so much capital flowing into the industry and so much innovation that everything will become simply unrecognizable. Here are the best altcoins, the crypto assets with my highest confidence for 2027. I believe this asset still has significant growth potential, truly significant, And while I'm not a financial advisor, I can't see the future. Make your own decisions.
I think it could easily follow the path of gold, that is, grow to $30 trillion. Just like back in 2004-this was before YouTube-when gold got its first ETF, money was finally able to flow freely into it over the next decade. The same thing is happening today with Bitcoin and crypto: the first crypto-Bitcoin ETF appeared about two years ago. New crypto ETFs are emerging, so we are somewhere in this stage of institutionalization of this asset class, as explained by Matt Hogan of Bitwise, who was in the market at the time. And today we perceive gold as a $30 trillion asset, mostly owned by institutions. But when the first gold ETF was launched in 2004, gold was an asset worth two to two and a half trillion dollars, in total. And then it grew to $30 trillion,
even before people started seriously panicking about debt. I think people who don't believe that Bitcoin can repeat the same scenario are wrong. We launched the ETF when its capitalization was about two trillion dollars. I think it could easily do what gold did- grow to $30 trillion, which gives it a pretty attractive target price. In my opinion, it is entirely possible for Bitcoin to reach the same market capitalization as gold. If this were to happen, it would be about an 18-fold increase from current figures. This would raise the price of one bitcoin to $1.4 million. Again, not tomorrow, but within that same 10-15- year period. In my opinion, this is achievable. Some may call it madness, but these are the same people who called the gold rally
madness, probably after the initial jump. "This can't last long, right?" Well, today we have a lot more debt. In the whole world. And they literally have to keep printing money. They have no choice. In fact, anything that has a limited supply will rise relative to the US dollar. This is obvious. The key for investors is that there are a lot of ups and downs within this. There are a lot of fluctuations here. The biggest risk in Bitcoin has nothing to do with the protocol, quantum computers, or anything like that. It is entirely related to investors and whether they can withstand both bull and bear markets. So I would just keep that in mind, okay? It was a wonderful journey. We have seen
many investors suffer due to emotional burnout or excessive leverage. I believe this asset still has significant growth potential, truly significant, life-changing potential. And I think this will unfold over the course of a decade. So, at least some of my capital- at least what I do (this is not financial advice)-I have set aside specifically to see what happens in 10 years. And which coins are worth buying? Again, I'm not a financial advisor, but let's just look at the any coin mentioned in today's video, I highly recommend our partner exchange Coinbase. A few weeks ago, I shared with you a complete guide on how to trade cryptocurrency, perpetual futures, stocks, and more. Step-by-step guide. Highly recommend.

And if you look at the best cryptocurrencies on the market, which ones are good? I mean, they're all good, but which ones have the best fundamentals? Again, this is my own opinion. In just the last few months, Solana has become twice as fast as it was before. Let's look at Solana and two things. First, Solana overtook BNB Chain, reclaiming the top spot in daily trading volume of tokenized assets with a 34% market share, meaning
tokenization is increasingly focused on the Solana blockchain. And secondly, this is big news that was just announced: Samsung, the phone company, is partnering with Solana to bring stablecoins to 82 million Galaxy devices in the US. So Samsung Wallet users in the United States will be able to make cross-border transfers using Solana-based USDC starting in the last week of October. This is a truly large-scale implementation. They could have chosen any blockchain to explain why more and more large companies and individuals are attracted to the Solana ecosystem, explains Austin Federa. You know, I think Solana made this turn, probably two and a half to three years ago, to focus on developing stability while continuing to push the boundaries of what's possible.
In just the last few months, Solana has become twice as fast as before. And we don't mean the number of transactions per second, but the time it takes to complete a transaction. And if all goes according to plan, hopefully by the end of the year, if not early next, that finalization will become even faster, reduced from about 12.5 seconds today to 150 milliseconds thanks to the Alpine Glow update. This is what you wrote about. This is a major technical update that hopefully no one will notice, which is actually the point of these things. Also pay attention to coins that institutions like, and as the field becomes institutionalized
, these are, first of all, things that have been around for years. They are not very interested in anything new and bright. They don't want to be fired. They want to stay safe. So this is first and foremost, and secondly, something that fits the narrative of tokenization and DeFi. Justin, Chainlink recorded 40 new integrations with 24 partners in September, including Aave, Coinbase, Infosys, Paxos, Circle's Arc, and Open Standard. Also pay attention to Ethereum and what institutions are choosing to build on Ethereum. Swift is moving from traditional payments to tokenized finance. They make hundreds of millions, if not billions. I talk about Swift transactions every day.
They are the standard, and while three years ago almost no one thought about transferring a token over the Swift network, now they have it, and they chose Ethereum to create it. If you think back to when I was at Swift, no one was thinking about transferring a token over the Swift network three years ago. Yes. Is n't that right? So the innovation job was to help define what was possible, and then work with our participants and leverage Swift capabilities to prove it, validate demand, and deliver. And I have to say, the Swift team did an amazing job, not just a year ago in Frankfurt when we announced the registry, right? It was a big event and an important announcement. But they also announced a payment scheme, right? So, in terms of how this
fits into the system, they will continue to improve payments in the form that we have them today. And it's worth noting, as Altcoin Daily always shares with you the good and bad news about these crypto protocols so that you have all the information and can make the best decision as an investor. And while Swift did choose Ethereum, they chose a permissioned, privatized chain based on Ethereum. It's called Hyperledger Besu, again, permissioned, privatized, and unfortunately, it won't bring any direct economic benefit to the Ethereum coin.
Using Besu, which is exactly what they are using, on a private or permissioned enterprise network does not require automatic burning of ETH, paying fees in ETH on the public network, or locking up native ETH in smart contracts. This is a direct economic benefit. Indirectly, this is a huge advantage. Indirectly-that's good. Direct participation in the network. Unlike isolated private blockchains, Besu nodes can connect directly to the public Ethereum network, helping to process transactions, which means this is the first step into the deep ocean of ETH, and it's where it all starts. Also, another narrative that I would pay attention to and that I like is AI.
Look at BitTensor. Late last year, Grayscale filed for a spot ETF for BitTensor. It hasn't been approved yet, but we understand what could happen if you invested in Bitcoin before the Bitcoin ETF was approved. Yes, there may have been huge falls along the way. There may even have been huge drops after that. But once this ETF is approved, it will be a green light. Another high-confidence bet that I think institutional players will like, as it is not a general- purpose blockchain but built for a specific purpose, is Hyperliquid.
Solana can do a lot of things. She does many things very well, like a Swiss army knife. But Hyperliquid was designed specifically for trading financial assets online, in large volumes and with high throughput. And I think if, you know, to develop this analogy, if you were lost in the woods and you wanted to survive the night, you would want to have that Swiss Army knife. But if you're a trader, if you're cutting sushi and you do it very skillfully, very delicately and very perfectly, you need a Japanese knife. And of course, again, where do I think all these coins could go. Yes, I may have one or two more in my basket, but you don't really need a big basket.
Bet on narratives, trends, I buy blue chips and then watch the trends explode. I believe so, and where do you think they will explode? Well, again, if we look at market capitalization, the entire amount of money that came into the cryptocurrency market during the 2017 bubble was less than a trillion, 700 billion. Then, of course, we leveled off, fell off, and then leveled off again. Then we reached about 2.8 trillion in November 2021. It was the NFT craze. So, from less than a trillion to about 3 trillion. And then, in this last subdued bull market, we only got to $4.2 trillion in all cryptocurrency, just $ 4.2 in free circulation.
However, we have literally hundreds, literally hundreds of trillions of assets on the bench that are finally ready for tokenization. I think the weakest, lowest cycle ever would have reached a market cap of about $6 trillion. So again, we hit 4 trillion at the peak of the last cycle. My final pessimistic forecast is 6 trillion. I personally believe it will be closer to 10-12 trillion, with Bitcoin taking 30% to 50% of that, depending on how big the altcoin season is, if it happens. And that would mean that it is in this next cycle, that is, the peak somewhere around 2028/2029, that Bitcoin will be worth between $180,000 and $250,000. Again, it is very difficult to predict peaks, but in this range, there are minimums and maximums, and
quality altcoins that are gaining popularity will take the remaining 50-70%.
