Stellar was a revelation last year, with XLM price turning in over a 6x gain at its November 2024 peak. Fantom, on the other hand, is starting the new year off with a bang after a 25% gain in the first 24 hours of 2025. While both are strong candidates to become among the top performing crypto tokens, one newly-launched microcap is tipped to outperform both FTM and XLM price predictions in 2025.
We’re talking about the new cross-chain DeFi swap protocol Lunex Network—and its presale is drawing the smart money as it breaks past $6 million raised.
Lunex is riding the momentum generated by its highly-awaited presale straight into the new year as the hottest ICO opportunity ahead of the next bull run. Why not? Lunex solves the long-standing interoperability problem between blockchains with its cross-chain DeFi protocol.
Enabling users to swap over 50,000 token pairs across 40 blockchains, Lunex’s hybrid on-chain and off-chain architecture enables safe, fast, and low-cost swaps with minimum friction. Lunex elevates the user experience sorely missing from the DeFi sector—making it a prime candidate to onboard new users into the Web3 fold with its comprehensive multi-chain solution.
Through its self-custodial Lunex Wallet, users will be able to oversee every aspect of their portfolio and bridge, swap, and sell their digital assets across blockchains—all without having to go through the tedium of connecting to insecure third-party services for their transactions. Better still, $LNEX holders will be able to unlock further discounts on transaction fees and gain access to liquidity mining and node leasing features. A portion of the proceeds generated by the exchange will be used to fund token buybacks, which will then be redistributed to $LNEX holders.
The unparalleled utility that Lunex brings to the table can very well translate into an epic pump for $LNEX when the bulls come back in 2025. With the DeFi sector expected to receive record inflows this year, Lunex is well-positioned to onboard a new generation of crypto users and translate that to parabolic growth.
FTM and XLM price action couldn’t have started the year better. Both the FTM and XLM price turned in a 25% gain in the first 24 hours of January, suggesting a potential retest of their all-time highs in the works. Notably, the robust XLM price action last Q4 2024 saw XLM turn in almost a 6x.
Fantom was a holdover from the 2021 bull run that, like Stellar, has seen better days. But entering 2025, Fantom appears to be gaining momentum with its established position within the DeFi sector. While FTM remains 75% below its October 2021 all-time highs, it remains a good bet to at least retest its historic ATH as a DeFi focused L1. While Stellar has already pumped, Fantom could still be a good buy-low candidate in 2025.
Fantom and Stellar may be good bets to retest new all-time highs. However, their multi-billion dollar market caps give them lower upside. As far as potential gains in 2025 are concerned, Lunex far outranks both. With token prices at just $0.054, Lunex offers the best ROI, considering its microcap status and value proposition.
