A popular crypto analyst is outlining which altcoins he think will shine after Bitcoin’s (BTC) price rally.

The trader Ali Martinez tells his 99,500 followers on the social media platform X that the key to betting on altcoins is to invest capital early in projects with strong fundamentals.

“Forget the meme coin FOMO and the X chatter about overnight meme millionaires. That’s luck, not strategy. If you’re in this game for sustainable gains, focus on projects with real utility that are building something substantial.

Here are a few worth watching:

  • Worldcoin: A fresh project with ambitious goals in identity and global finance.
  • Uniswap: The OG of decentralized exchanges with staying power.
  • AAVE: A DeFi powerhouse, already showing strength.
  • Chainlink: The backbone of decentralized oracles, with consistent adoption.
  • Maker: A key player in stablecoins and DeFi.
  • ONDO: Tapping into the rising narrative of tokenized real-world assets.
  • Solana: Speed, scalability, and a thriving ecosystem.
  • BNB: A staple exchange token with wide utility.”
