Ethereum breaks new ATH in Japan and Korea, reaching 639,455 yen and surpassing the previous record of 632,954 yen, dating from December 17, 2024.
A similar event took place in South Korea, where $ETH reached 5,971,000 won, beating the previous record of 5.9M won from December 2021.
Normally, this would suggest that crypto prices should go down, except the Japanese and the South Korean markets experienced the opposite. The only other explanation is an increase in local demand.
But what’s the driving force behind the surge in investor interest?
The likeliest explanation for $ETH’s record performance on the Asian markets is the growing institutional adoption at the global level, with companies like Bitmine leading the pack with an iron hand.
Bitmine has the largest Ethereum treasury, worth over $2.9B, with Chairman Thomas Lee stating that:
We are well on our way to achieving our goal of acquiring and staking 5% of the overall ETH supply.
If and when that happens, keep your eye on the following three projects, which show the highest growth potential in 2025.
The Snorter Bot tracks down and snipes hot tokens milliseconds after liquidity becomes available, making it more reactive and effective even than UIs like Pump Fun, Raydium, and Jupiter.
The Bot solves most problems associated with manual coin hunting, which include the risk of scams like honeypots and rug pulls, as well as the high entry-level tech knowledge requirement.
As a novice trader, you only need to learn how to customize the Bot to your liking, enabling its real-time alerts to protect against suspicious projects and setting up the specifics. The Bot will do the rest.
$SNORT powers the ecosystem with the help of a $2.9M presale and a price of $0.1009.
2030 could see $SNORT pushing up to $1.50 or higher, depending on the mainstream appeal and implementation.
While it started as a purebred meme coin, Dogecoin soon gained blockchain utility as peer-to-peer currency.
Today, you can spend $DOGE in online shops with third-party providers like Bitpay and Coinbase. The Dogecoin Foundation plans to expand on that and turn
$DOGE into people’s coin, pushing it into the mainstream even more, if that’s even possible.
If you want to join the $DOGE run, go to your favorite exchange and refill your portfolio today.
The Canonical Bridge connects the Bitcoin ecosystem to Hyper, minting wrapped Bitcoin into the Layer 2 in numbers equivalent to what the users deposit into the Bitcoin network. The Bitcoin Relay Program is the main transaction validator, ensuring fast throughput.
The Canonical Bridge decongests the Bitcoin network and enables near-instant finality, aside from supporting complex DeFi operations like DEXs and staking.
A five-year prediction could place $HYPER at $0.253 if Hyper sees successful implementation and growing adoption.
$ETH is stable now, but the asset’s performance in the Asian markets can soon reach the Western shores. Especially in the pro-crypto context created by Trump’s 401(k) order and the GENIUS Act as the modern foundation of the new crypto financial system.
This isn’t financial advice. Do your own research (DYOR) and invest wisely.
