Crypto Expert Shares Top 5 Altcoin Picks for 2025
Mark Yusko, the chief investment officer at Morgan Creek Capital, recently shared his top altcoin picks for the coming year during an interview with Altcoin Daily on YouTube.
Highlighting a mix of established projects and unconventional choices, his list includes Solana ( SOL ), Cardano ( ADA ), XRP , Dogecoin ( DOGE ), and Hedera ( HBAR ).
Yusko expressed a particular fondness for Solana, praising the project’s progress and revealing that holding onto his remaining SOL tokens proved to be a profitable decision as the asset’s value surged from $13 to over $240. He acknowledged the team’s efforts in convincing him of the platform’s potential.
Turning to Cardano, XRP, and Hedera, Yusko mentioned he sees these assets as potential bets on the future integration of cryptocurrency into traditional finance. While he noted the risks of investing in them, he suggested these tokens might serve as transitional tools for legacy financial systems looking to adopt blockchain without being completely displaced.

Finally, Yusko addressed Dogecoin, calling it a unique case. Despite his initial skepticism, he acknowledged the influence of Elon Musk on the token’s popularity, quipping that betting against Musk’s support for DOGE might not be a wise move. While he admitted to doubting the meme coin in its early days, he conceded that its unexpected success was a lesson in keeping an open mind.
