In the midst of strategizing, we decide victories from thousands of miles away. Hello everyone, I am Lin Chao, a global financial market observer, focusing on cryptocurrency market analysis, bringing you the most in-depth trading information analysis and technical teaching.
During this period, the market has basically followed our previous predictions, remaining in a state of fluctuation. In such a market, I do not recommend frequent trading. I myself have been mostly in a resting state, taking this time to relax, read books, and adjust my mindset. Although I am resting, I still interact with everyone. Recently, I have received many private messages asking whether it is appropriate to hold some small coins in spot trading and whether now is a suitable entry point, requesting me to recommend a few coins. I do not take sides with any coin, but from my personal understanding, I will share some coins that I believe still have upward potential this year.
On May 22, 2025, the largest decentralized exchange (DEX) in the Sui public chain ecosystem, Cetus, suffered a hacker attack, leading to an instant drop in liquidity and the collapse of prices for multiple trading pairs, with losses exceeding $220 million. More astonishingly, the Sui Foundation immediately initiated an on-chain governance vote, not only freezing the hacker's assets but also planning to "recover" the stolen funds through on-chain upgrades. Cetus proposed a community voting plan to upgrade the protocol, sending the frozen funds to a multi-signature escrow wallet. On May 29, the voting results were announced, with approximately 90.9% of the weighted validators supporting the proposal. The Sui official announced that once the proposal was passed, "all funds frozen in the two hacker accounts will be recovered to a multi-signature wallet without the hacker's signature." The SUI ecosystem has demonstrated strong resilience and recovery capability. Although the Cetus incident caused short-term confidence fluctuations, on-chain funds and user activity did not experience sustained decline; instead, it significantly increased the entire ecosystem's focus on security, infrastructure development, and project quality.
Lin Chao believes that although the SUI team handled this hacker crisis effectively in terms of public relations and measures, stabilizing long-term users and helping them recover lost assets, this incident also exposed that this chain is not fully decentralized. Even if users have complete private keys, the network can still prevent asset movement and redirect assets through collective protocol changes. Does this not reveal the essential centralization operations of cryptocurrencies, which tout decentralization as their biggest selling point? Breaking the rules for justice, is that not breaking the rules? However, returning to the price itself and the essence of capital, it is clear that people do not care about these rules; they only care about whether their wallets have suffered losses. Therefore, overall, the upward trend of SUI this year is unlikely to diminish; it remains to be seen when larger institutions, aside from retail investors, will enter.
Lin Chao believes that another coin worth paying attention to this year is TRX.
Since its launch in 2017, TRON has grown into one of the world's leading Layer 1 blockchains, attracting over 300 million user accounts with its high throughput, low transaction fees, and robust DeFi and stablecoin ecosystem. Currently, the TRON network has 68.6 billion USDT in circulation, ranking second globally, and its total locked value in the DeFi ecosystem has exceeded $20 billion. The launch of the TRX ETF will further enhance the visibility and usage of the TRON network, attracting more developers and institutions to participate in its decentralized internet ecosystem, solidifying its competitive advantage in the global blockchain industry. Meanwhile, as cryptocurrency ETFs gradually mature in the U.S. market, such as the successful launch of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, the demand from institutional investors for diversified cryptocurrency assets is growing. The launch of the TRX ETF will provide compliant investment channels for institutions like hedge funds and pension funds to invest in the TRON ecosystem, potentially helping TRX enter mainstream investment portfolios, allowing investments in TRX through familiar securities accounts without direct exposure to blockchain technology. This will significantly lower the investment threshold and greatly expand TRX's audience, driving up the price of TRON TRX.
Rumor has it
Sun is working hard, and Lin Chao does not take sides with anyone, but Sun Yuchen is famously known as a hard worker in the crypto circle. Without discussing character, just looking at work attitude, I am also willing to invest in Sun Yuchen. His presence is always prominent in various headlines. From the early years of the Buffett dinner auction to now auctioning bananas to eat on the spot. In May, he attended a "TRUMP" themed dinner as the "number one holder" and received a limited edition watch personally gifted by Trump. Now, through the dinner, he has also met Donald Trump Jr. and has been getting along well, perfectly illustrating that everyone is in it for profit. Since the violent surge of TRX by 95% on December 3 of last year, it quickly fell back and has since remained around the $0.2-$0.3 price range. For speculators, this price is actually suitable for a strategic entry; once a violent surge occurs, they can take profits and exit without lingering.
In conclusion
Lin Chao believes that the most worthwhile coins to hold in the medium term this year are SOL, in which I have positioned myself at prices of 120 and 140. The Solana chain boasts the fastest transaction speed and the most cost-effective channels, with a market value close to $90 billion, ranking among the top five in the crypto space. Moreover, the likelihood of an ETF being listed this year is very high. If the capital inflow for the SOL ETF is 5% of that for the BTC ETF, its price could potentially rise 3.4 times, from the current $160 to $500, possibly hitting the $400-$500 range; in a more optimistic scenario, if the inflow reaches 14%, the price could exceed $800. Lin Chao is not that optimistic, but at the current price of $150, once the ETF is launched, breaking the historical high should not be a big issue, and the price could at least double. However, we must understand that the market is likely to still experience a "first speculation on expectations, then realization" fluctuation structure, which is very similar to the price cycle before and after the BTC ETF began trading. Therefore, positioning in advance is a wise choice for everyone.
Lin Chao summarizes
As the market matures, it is not necessarily a good thing for ordinary people. During the wild growth phase, anyone participating could earn money beyond their understanding. Is there still such an opportunity now? The answer is certainly yes, but it requires us to do more preparation, more homework, invest more energy and costs, adjust our mindset, and not think about just grabbing a wave from this market and running away. The more one thinks this way, the more likely they are to become cannon fodder in the market. Investment is not about luck; it is about reading comprehension and solving mathematical problems. The biggest prison in the world is the human mind. If you cannot earn money beyond your understanding, then learn to leverage.
