Solana News Today: Cold Wallet, Solana, Polygon, Avalanche Poised for 2025 Crypto Breakouts With Strong Fundamentals and Adoption Gains

Cold Wallet (CWT), Solana (SOL), Polygon (POL), and Avalanche (AVAX) are being highlighted as potential breakout cryptos in 2025 due to their unique value propositions, growth trajectories, and increasing real-world adoption [1]. These four projects represent diverse aspects of the crypto ecosystem, ranging from high-speed DeFi infrastructure to innovative self-custody and staking models, making them strong candidates for significant returns in the near term.

Cold Wallet is currently in Stage 17 of its presale at $0.00998, with a confirmed launch price of $0.3517, indicating a potential 3,600% gain [1]. The project has raised $5.9 million so far and sold over 706 million tokens. It combines self-custody with a rewards model, allowing users to earn CWT when paying gas fees or swapping tokens. Additionally, a $270 million acquisition brought in two million active users from Plus Wallet, significantly expanding Cold Wallet’s user base and accelerating its adoption [1]. Analysts and early investors are watching closely for further exchange listings and marketing efforts that could drive price discovery once the presale concludes.

Solana continues to dominate the DeFi space with total value locked (TVL) ranging between $8 billion and $9 billion, with a reported 18% quarter-over-quarter growth in early 2025 [1]. Solana’s network can process up to 65,000 transactions per second at an average cost of $0.00025, making it a preferred platform for developers and users in high-volume environments, particularly in Southeast Asia. Institutional interest is also rising, with Solana ETPs surpassing Bitcoin in certain markets. Despite a recent 3% dip in line with broader market caution, forecasts suggest SOL could reach $300–$500 under favorable conditions [1].

Polygon remains a top performer with nearly double the daily transaction volume year-on-year, reaching 8.4 million in Q1 2025 [1]. Of these transactions, 38% are attributed to DeFi and NFT activity, with 1.23 million daily active wallets. Cross-chain bridging accounts for 19% of network activity, facilitating seamless interactions across multiple DeFi platforms. Analysts project POL to trade in the $0.24–$0.42 range in 2025, with the potential to hit mid-$0.30s if adoption continues at current rates [1].

Avalanche is gaining momentum through real-world applications, particularly in enterprise adoption. Its AvaCloud platform enables businesses in Asia to develop permissioned subnets for asset tokenization in areas such as real estate and supply chain management [1]. After recovering from a low of $20s, AVAX has seen renewed activity driven by enhanced stablecoin features. Price forecasts predict AVAX could reach $30–$33 in 2025, with a long-term target of $55–$60 if growth remains consistent [1].

Each of these four projects offers distinct advantages. Solana’s speed and scalability support a robust DeFi environment. Polygon’s high transaction volume and cross-chain capabilities position it as a key multi-chain infrastructure player. Avalanche is bridging the gap between blockchain and enterprise applications. Cold Wallet, meanwhile, is generating excitement with its structured presale, low entry price, and built-in incentives for long-term use [1].
