As we enter 2026, Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins are expected to experience significant price increases.
At the moment, in addition to predictions for 2026, there are also analyzes of what 2025 will be like.
Grayscale, one of the largest asset management companies, reviewed its fourth quarter results and said it expects the fourth quarter of 2025 to be a downturn.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, it was noted that profits were negative, after all market categories saw gains in the third quarter.
Grayscale noted that privacy-focused altcoins generally came to the forefront in the fourth quarter, and also ranked the top 20 best-performing altcoins.
“Zcash (ZEC), Monero (XMR), Alchemist AI (ALCH), Just (JST), Dash (DASH), Hive (HIVE), Basic Attendant Token (BAT), Beldex (BDX), Origin Trail (TRAC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Decred (DCR), Telcoin (TEL), Echelon Prime (PRIME), Golem (GLM), Chiliz (CHZ), Maker (SKY), ULTIMA, Venice Token (VVV), Maple Finance (SYRUP), Uniswap (UNI).”
Grayscale noted that although these altcoins have shown strong performance, all altcoins included in the top 20 list have high price volatility.
He cautioned investors, saying these should be considered high risk.
