Forbes has released the most noteworthy cryptocurrencies for 2025, including BTC, ETH, SOL, FET, DOGE. The selection method focuses on market indicators, innovation and practical utility. Main considerations include market capitalization, price performance and trading volume as well as each project's ability to address challenges in the blockchain ecosystem. The conclusion indicates that the cryptocurrency market in 2025 is at a crossroads - full of potential but also shrouded in great uncertainty. While Bitcoin continues to enjoy institutional support and cultural relevance, Ethereum faces fierce competition from alternative platforms like Solana while newer areas such as AI-driven tokens and meme coins still hold a place within the ecosystem. Beyond challenges faced by cryptocurrencies themselves are broader global economic impacts: persistent inflation; rising interest rates; geopolitical tensions could potentially shake investor confidence across all asset classes (including cryptocurrencies). Furthermore regulatory scrutiny remains an imminent issue with governments worldwide striving to establish clearer frameworks – or stricter crackdown measures – for digital assets.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has sued the founder of Helium, Nova Labs, alleging that it issued unregistered crypto asset securities and misled investors into believing it had partnerships with Lime, Nestlé, and Salesforce. The lawsuit was filed on Friday against three tokens associated with Helium: Helium Network Token (HNT), Helium Mobile Token (MOBILE) and Helium Internet of Things Network Token (IoT). The agency claims these tokens were sold as unregistered securities. The lawsuit aims to fine the company and prohibit it from buying, offering or selling any crypto assets offered in the form of securities. This enforcement action is one of the last taken by SEC under Chairman Gary Gensler's leadership before he resigns ahead of Donald Trump's inauguration for his second term as president on Monday.
