Ethereum News Today: Cold Wallet Hyperliquid Solana Ethereum Drive Crypto Market Momentum in 2025

Cold Wallet, Hyperliquid, Solana, and Ethereum continue to shape the evolving landscape of the cryptocurrency market as top trending cryptos for 2025. These projects are demonstrating strong adoption, clear utility, and structural innovation, positioning them as key assets to watch in the coming year [1].

Cold Wallet ($CWT) is disrupting traditional wallet mechanics in Web3 with its presale now in Stage 17, selling at $0.00998 per CWT. The project has already raised over $6.2 million, with momentum increasing as the official launch nears. Cold Wallet's unique cashback model during transactions differentiates it from major competitors like MetaMask and Trust Wallet. Recent acquisition of Plus Wallet for $270 million added 2 million existing users, accelerating growth ahead of launch [1]. The project’s tiered presale pricing model indicates increasing value as listing approaches, which could reduce a potential 3,400%+ ROI.

Hyperliquid (HYPE) has established itself as one of the leading DeFi platforms for 2025, capturing 35% of blockchain fee revenue in July 2025 with $97.7 million in fees. The platform’s open interest has surged to $15.3 billion, a 369% increase year-to-date, largely driven by Phantom Wallet integration. HYPE’s tokenomics also support long-term demand, with $4 million in daily buybacks. Current trading levels sit between $46.72 and $47.46, with the next technical target at $54–$55. A recent large deposit has fueled expectations of a potential all-time high [1].

Solana (SOL) has regained attention after breaking above the $200 level, reinforcing its position among top trending cryptos. Analysts are now considering higher price targets of $250 and even $350 if the upward trend continues. On-chain metrics show improvement, with total value locked reaching multi-year highs. Institutional engagement has also increased, as Solana-focused funds attracted $8.9 million in inflows, despite broader crypto investment products seeing $415 million in outflows. Despite some user activity shifting to platforms like Hyperliquid, Solana's ecosystem remains active and growing [1].

Ethereum (ETH) has experienced a sharp rebound, rising 41% in the last month while the broader market gained just 9%. Trading near $4,690, Ethereum’s rally is supported by optimism over expected Federal Reserve rate cuts, the U.S. “Genius Act” stablecoin policy, and institutional inflows via ETFs. Upcoming upgrades like Pectra are improving transaction speed and efficiency. Standard Chartered has revised its year-end forecast to $7,500 and estimates a longer-term target of $25,000 by 2028 [1]. However, whale activity involving $88 million in ETH sales suggests the potential for short-term consolidation before renewed momentum.

Together, these projects are redefining the next market cycle in digital assets. Cold Wallet is changing user economics before listing, Hyperliquid is setting new benchmarks in fee revenue, Solana is maintaining strong price momentum, and Ethereum is benefiting from adoption and technical upgrades. While volatility remains a factor, the combined momentum, ecosystem expansion, and institutional interest suggest these names could retain leadership positions [1].
