The 5 Best Altcoins to Invest in As Bitcoin Roars Back to Life in February 2025

Bitcoin recently surged back past the $105K mark, reflecting renewed investor confidence, possibly driven by President Donald Trump's recent executive order

As Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) continues its rally, investors are wondering what's next for the cryptocurrency market. Some believe that BTC could reach $200,000 by the end of 2025, and if that happens, it would have a major impact on altcoins.

Here are five of the best altcoins to invest in as Bitcoin roars back to life in February 2025.

1. Solaxy (SOLX)

Of all the infamous Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) killers – the blockchains supposedly poised to supplant the leading altcoin – Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) might be the only one with a serious claim.

Solana commands nearly 10% of non-ETH DeFi TVL and has made real inroads on the meme coin front, with sites like pump.fun making it easy to create and launch meme coins based on literally anything. In fact, the total SOL ecosystem has a market cap of $860B, nearly a quarter of the total crypto market cap of $3.57T.

A recent surge in activity on the Solana blockchain, attributed in part to the launch of $TRUMP and $MELANIA coins, has seen the network battle congestion, with Solana transactions sometimes prone to failure or delays.

Solaxy intends to fix the problem. It's promising a much-needed Solana Layer-2, the first of its kind. Solaxy wants to combine the reliability of Ethereum with the speed of Solana to improve transaction speeds and eliminate failed transactions altogether.

That makes the $SOLX token an appealing proposition, able to build on $SOL’s success in 2024 and 2025. The roadmap makes Solaxy’s ambitions clear, to take the Solana ecosystem into the future.

2. Best Wallet Token (BEST)

All web3 wallets are not created equal. Some are easier to use, some have better UX/UI, and some integrate better with various dApps. But only one gathers the best crypto presales in one place.

Best Wallet is the wallet for you if you want to browse up-and-coming presales, research relevant documentation, purchase tokens, and even claim them. There's a growing ecosystem around the wallet, including a debit card and an exchange. And now, with the launch of the Best Wallet Token, the project is poised to provide even more utility.

$BEST is a bonus for investors who want to make the most of using Best Wallet as a web3 wallet. For example, $BEST holders get to take advantage of early access to potentially lucrative crypto presales.

$BEST token holders will also gain higher staking rewards, lower fees, and more, all within the Best Wallet app ecosystem.

3. MIND of Pepe (MIND)

AI tokens took a hit with the recent competition from the Chinese AI, DeepSeek, but the sector is already on the rebound as companies look for new ways to build on the technology.

AI coins, with a total market cap of over $44B, are now nearly half as big as the meme coin sector, which sits at $93B. AI tokens that can combine the power of both crypto types – like MIND of Pepe – could leverage both AI’s technological advances and memecoin momentum to gain the edge.

$MIND features an ambitious roadmap, including:

An AI-powered NFT collection.

An autonomous AI agent that will help users navigate the crypto space and make better investment decisions.

A decentralized autonomous organization to govern the project and its future.

More use cases for the MIND token, including staking and governance.

Presale airdrops and bonuses for early investors.

Later on, the project will introduce a metaverse game and a Web3 social media platform.

Together, these features could make $MIND a force in both the AI and meme coin markets.

4. Litecoin (LTC)

After months of waiting, the Litecoin (CRYPTO: LTC) ETF filing has finally been approved by the SEC, and that could be a major boost for the cryptocurrency.

The approval comes after several delays and setbacks, but it now appears that LTC is on track to join the select group of digital assets with an ETF in the U.S.

The filing was submitted by BlockFi in December 2021 and was initially set to be approved or rejected by March 2022. However, the SEC extended the review period several times.

Now that the filing has been approved, the SEC has 240 days to either accept or reject the spot LTC ETF. If approved, it would be the first Litecoin ETF to launch in the U.S.

After a strong start to the year, LTC has cooled off somewhat in recent months. However, the approval of an ETF could breathe new life into the cryptocurrency and lead to substantial gains in 2025.

Compare that to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), which has seen several ETFs launch in
