by “As the bull market approaches, which projects will lead the new wave?”
From mid-2025, the crypto market is expected to enter a new bullish cycle, fueled by the effects of the Bitcoin halving and inflows from ETF-related capital. Given that previous bull runs occurred within 12 to 18 months following each of the past three halvings, industry experts and investment firms predict that the next major market rally will begin around mid-2025.
As the macro environment shifts, investor attention is turning from mere price speculation to projects with real utility, solid technology, and scalable ecosystems. With the acceleration of Web3 adoption, real-use case crypto projects are emerging as the key themes of this coming bull market.
So, what are the top 3 projects expected to lead the bull run in 2025?
● Bitcoin – “Digital Gold” Gaining Ground in Institutional Finance
Following the approval of Bitcoin ETFs in 2024, institutional capital has poured into Bitcoin, fueling a sustained rally. With supply decreasing post-halving and demand increasing, Bitcoin’s status as an established scarce asset is stronger than ever.
Major economies such as the U.S., Europe, and Japan are starting to categorize Bitcoin as an official asset class, signaling a structural bull market beyond just price appreciation. On May 5, Binance founder CZ stated in an interview with Rug Radio that Bitcoin could reach up to $1 million in the current market cycle. Goldman Sachs also released an analysis claiming Bitcoin is now a more efficient hedge against inflation than gold.
By mid-2025, Bitcoin is not just expected to rise in price—it is positioned to drive a paradigm shift as it integrates into the institutional financial system.
● Celestia – Modular Blockchain Infrastructure Powering Web3 Expansion
Celestia is leading the way into the era of modular blockchains, breaking away from the traditional monolithic structure. By separating consensus, execution, and data availability layers, it offers developers the flexibility to build tailored chains.
It also features high compatibility with Ethereum and Cosmos ecosystems. Since late 2024, AppChain projects built on Celestia have been rapidly growing, with some expanding into real-use Web3 services such as gaming, social platforms, and infrastructure.
Celestia is proving itself not just as a tech platform but as foundational infrastructure for the Web3 ecosystem as a whole.
● WonderChain – The World’s First Web3 Project Combining Travel, Real-Life Rewards, and Global Commerce
WonderChain is the world’s first Web3 lifestyle project to combine travel, real-life activity rewards, and global commerce in a unified ecosystem.
Going beyond typical reward apps, WonderChain integrates AI-based personalized recommendations, real-time location verification, and DAO-based global commerce to connect daily life with economic activity.
Set to launch its beta service in mid-2025, WonderChain plans to expand its ecosystem through a community mission platform, live commerce, and rare-item group purchases based on national and regional demand, aiming to onboard users globally.
Its exchange system between credits and utility tokens, along with an automatic burn mechanism based on real usage, establishes a deflationary structure that enhances token value.
WonderChain aspires to bring “blockchain you can feel in everyday life,” and is emerging as one of the most promising projects in the 2025 Web3 landscape.
The 2025 bull market won’t be about price surges alone. Projects with real-world utility and technological trustworthiness are expected to lead the way. Bitcoin’s institutional reliability, Celestia’s scalable infrastructure, and WonderChain’s lifestyle-focused Web3 model each represent different but complementary pillars of the market’s future. The quiet momentum building now may soon translate into explosive growth in the upcoming bull cycle.
