Jakarta, Pintu News – Ahead of a potential crypto market bull run in 2025, investors are starting to look for small-cap altcoins with strong fundamentals.
According to one analyst, there are two tokens that are quietly showing great potential – they could be the early gems of the next DeFi wave.

The first project that caught the eye was Aerodrome (AERO), a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol that runs on Base, the layer-2 network of Ethereum (ETH).
While not the largest in terms of total value locked (TVL), Aerodrome is the leader in the Base ecosystem in terms of fees and revenue.
TVL on the Base network is increasing rapidly, and stablecoin usage is also showing an upward trend. Among all the protocols on the network, Aerodrome recorded the highest revenue, far surpassing competitors like Morpho and Spark.
Aerodrome Token itself has been moving in a horizontal price pattern since March, which could be an ideal accumulation zone. If the price drops near the lower boundary of this channel, it could be a strong buying opportunity-especially if the price of Bitcoin (BTC) remains stable.
Next up is BlackHole, a new DeFi token on the rising Avalanche (AVAX) network. With a TVL of over $200 million and soaring fees revenue, BlackHole is already outperforming even the major protocols on Avalanche.

BlackHole’s main advantage lies in its bridge infrastructure, which allows users to move Pepe-like tokens (PEPE) between networks with ease.
With rumors that Avalanche will be partnering with large institutions, this bridge technology could be an important part of future adoption.
In just a matter of weeks, BlackHole’s cumulative trading volume has surpassed $1 billion, and the number of active users continues to rise.
