Answer

The three best coins after Bitcoin and Ethereum are Solana, Hyperliquid and NEAR Protocol — with Ethereum itself highlighted first as needing to be in any crypto portfolio, since it could massively outperform Bitcoin this cycle.

AI Summary

Bitcoin and Ethereum are the obvious crypto blue chips, and Ethereum could outperform Bitcoin going forward. Beyond them, three altcoins tied to crypto's new cycle and new narratives stand out: Solana, Hyperliquid and NEAR Protocol. Tom Lee predicts ETH will exceed its all-time high of 5,000 by year's end and reach around 7,500, with an end-of-cycle thesis of 25,000 or 50,000 per token. Solana has become a big player in crypto going after capital markets; Hyperliquid leads its niche in on-chain trading of financial assets; NEAR has been steadily building toward becoming a single portal for finance. The overall game is to accumulate as much Bitcoin as possible, using alts to accumulate more Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Key Points

  • Ethereum needs to be in any crypto portfolio today and could really outperform Bitcoin going forward.
  • Tom Lee's ETH price prediction: above 5,000 (new all-time high) by end of year, around 7,500 if Bitcoin is over 100,000, and potentially 25,000 or 50,000 per token this bull cycle.
  • Ethereum's token price is 2700 and has been around the same price for 5 years — the longer the base, the bigger the breakout.
  • Bitcoin is a brand name most people know about, but most people don't own enough of it or sell too early.
  • Coin 1 — Solana cannot be ignored: great tech, great partnerships, going after capital markets, and picking up steam in this bull market.
  • Lilly Liu of the Solana Foundation frames Solana as financial infrastructure for the internet's 5.5 billion people, arguing the internet capital market will be the largest global capital market.
  • Coin 2 — Hyperliquid is designed specifically for trading financial assets on-chain with large quantities and high throughput; a Swiss-army-knife-versus-Japanese-knife contrast with Solana marks it as a leader in its niche this cycle.
  • Coin 3 — NEAR Protocol has been steadily building for years: dynamic sharding, AI, privacy and cross-chain communication now fit together as a single portal to execute your financial world, including for AI agents.

00:00 Three crypto coins to buy after Bitcoin and Ethereum. Bitcoin and ETH are obvious crypto blue chips. Always have been, continue to be. But do you want to know what other altcoins I like? I'm not talking about XRP or Shiba Enu or Cardano in this video. I'm talking about tokens specific to crypto's new cycle. looking forward in the new narratives. We could put Zcash on this list.

00:29 We could put Canton or Quant. Maybe there are actually quite a few altcoins I like looking forward. Comment which coins you think that I should put in a future video. I'm going to take a look based on some of the comments if I see that there's a large amount of people who want me to look into, you know, certain ones. But in today's video, I just want to highlight a select three.

00:53 and altcoins are pumping, so you should maybe get these on your radar. As always, if you could spare a like, it's a small thing you can do, but it truly helps us grow. First, let's start here. Like I said, Ethereum needs to be in any crypto portfolio today. I think it could really outperform Bitcoin going forward. What I like about this clip is that Tom Lee gets real specific in his ETH price prediction.

01:23 Not only at the end of this year, but also he gives his end of cycle price prediction. >> Where do you think ETH will be at the end of the year? >> You know, I I think Ethereum should exceed its all-time high. So, I think it's above 5,000. I think Bitcoin is going to be over 100,000. And if that's the case, then I think Ethereum is around 7,500. To us, Ethereum continues to be the most neutral infrastructure.

01:47 I think there's a lot of winds that they're posting and the token price is 2700. It's been in the same price for 5 years. And as you guys know, the longer the base, the bigger the breakout. So, I mean, part of our thesis is we think Ethereum is massively undervalued. And I mean, this bull cycle, I think it could easily be 25,000 or 50,000 per token.

02:12 >> Bitcoin is an obvious one as well. It's a brand name. Most people know about it. Most people don't own enough of it or want to sell too early if they do. Check this out. >> So, my husband and I are on different pages about using our investment that we have in crypto to pay off our mortgage. He does agree that he would like to use it eventually, but he would like to wait for it because he believes it's going to grow exponentially and it's too volatile for me.

02:44 >> How much does he have in Bitcoin? [laughter] >> Um, enough to pay off our mortgage plus some. >> Wow. So, we're talking hundreds of thousands of dollars. >> Mhm. >> And by the way, I own zero Bitcoin. Not one shred. And do I wish I could go back in time and buy a whole bunch at nothing? Of course I do. And I also didn't get into Beanie Babies and NFTTS and all these other things.

03:04 You throw enough darts backwards, one's going to hit. Great. And it could go up a five trillion% and it could go to zero because it's always going to have to be traded for actual money at some point, right? I I have crypto friends. I've got Bitcoin friends. And dude, there is there's just that conversation is just a a ship that sailed. Many people try to ignore Salana's success today.

03:30 Salana cannot be ignored today. They are a big player in crypto whether you like it or not. They've got great tech. They make great partnerships. They're going after capital markets. I like the way Lilly Louu of the Salana Foundation explains it all here. And with this, they're picking up steam in this bull market. >> We've always been about financial infrastructure for the internet.

03:55 five and a half billion people neutral uh open source who only ever going to be a blockchain and so when I think about the potential of that uh that's a that's one of the largest markets that you can create out there in fact I think it is the largest market that you can imagine and we've looked at these incredibly sort of exponentially scaling uh tech platforms and systems over the last 30 years but really if you look at the addressable market they serve it's actually uh the native language speaking area in which they

04:24 are born And that caps out it at about a one and a half billion whether you're in the English world or whether you're in the Mandarin world. Uh but the uh all of the people on the internet they all use money. Uh and uh and I've got I've got to believe that that is incredible opportunity and that's an incredible platform to be building for. Uh and uh I do believe that the internet capital market which is what we're building for is going to be the largest global capital market.

04:49 >> Hyperlquid is a project that more and more people are starting to understand. They are designed specifically for trading financial assets on chain. Very popular to trade on and that specificity is and their success at it is what makes them such a big contender this cycle. Hyperlid is a leader in its niche today and investors are starting to wake up to this.

05:17 >> Salana does a lot of things. It does a lot of things really well the way a Swiss army knife does, but hyperlquid is designed specifically for trading financial assets onchain, large quantities, high throughputs. And I think that um if you were, you know, to to extend the analogy, if you were lost in the woods and you wanted to survive the night, you'd want to have that Swiss Army knife.

05:40 Um, if you're trading, if you're if you're slicing sushi and doing it really well and really fine and really perfectly, you want that Japanese knife. >> Another protocol that the market is finally starting to repric and value more because investors and the industry is finally starting to understand exactly everything that they've been doing. They've been steadily building out for years near protocol.

06:03 Listen to this. Listen to Matt Hogan talk about why investors are finally starting to become interested in Near and why he is bullish on Near looking forward. >> The beautiful thing about watching Near evolve over the years is it's been like painting in these little corners. uh it painted in the corners of an ultra high throughput blockchain uh with dynamic sharding and that was interesting and then it painted in the corner of intense which found their own product market fit and then it painted in this corner of

06:37 privacy and crosschain communication and I don't think anyone sort of saw how all those corners fit together until recently as the sort of single portal to execute your financial world and then eventually uh for agents to to interact with as well and I it's it's sort of like it's like been watching someone draw something where you didn't understand what they were drawing and all of a sudden you're like ah it's a landscape and I think that's the reason it's really caught on uh because now it all makes sense as a single
