The answer is: Yes. Here are the 7 characteristics and track classifications of the 100x coins in the 2025 bull market that I analyzed:
The cryptocurrency market is always full of opportunities and risks, and in every bull market, a large number of 100x or even 1,000x coins have been born. In 2023, many 100x coin projects have been born in the meme and brc20 sectors, but only a few can really seize these opportunities. The reasons for this are nothing more than two: high market barriers and a shortage of funds in a bear market.
With the advent of the crypto bull market, opportunities in the secondary market have become more accessible, and ordinary investors will have more opportunities to participate. In order to increase the probability of capturing 100x coin projects, I conducted an in-depth study of successful cases in the last bull market and analyzed several key features of 100x coins in order to more effectively screen potential 100x coin projects in the upcoming bull market, which will help everyone seize the wealth opportunities in the next bull market.
1. Seven characteristics
1. Market capitalization ranking analysis
Market capitalization is the first screening threshold for selecting 100x coin projects. Among the top 600 coins by market capitalization in March 2020, a total of 61 100x coins were born (in the secondary market). The specific market capitalization rankings and proportions are as follows:
Among the top 100 coins in terms of market capitalization, 11 coins with a hundredfold growth were born, accounting for 18%, namely
BNB,LINK,ADA,DOGE,VET,SNX,SOL,THETA,HOT,ENJ,LUNA
Among the top 100-300 in market capitalization ranking, 21 hundred-fold coins were born, accounting for 34.4%;
Among the top 300-600 coins in market capitalization ranking, 22 hundred-fold coins were born, accounting for 36%;
There are 7 more whose market capitalization is too low and they are controlled by powerful market makers, making them of no reference value.
This means that among the top 300 currencies by market capitalization, a total of 32 100x coins have been born, accounting for 10.6% of the total. Therefore, when screening projects, you can focus on the top 300 public chains and protocols by market capitalization, which have both a certain market foundation and ample room for growth.
2. Narrative and New Territory
Narratives are an important driving force for project value in the crypto market. Each bull market is often accompanied by new narratives, such as DeFi and NFT in 2020, GameFi in 2021, and BNB, which has broken away from the attributes of a single exchange token.
In the bull market of 2025, we expect new narratives to emerge, such as AI computing power, public chain security upgrades, metaverse infrastructure, etc. Therefore, when investing, it is recommended to focus on tracks that solve practical problems and have long-term narrative potential, rather than projects that rely solely on short-term hype.
Recommended high-ceiling tracks include:
AI GPU computing power: With the development of AI technology, the combination of Web3 and AI will become an important trend;
A more secure public chain: Solve the security and performance issues of the current blockchain network;
Metaverse chain games: The combination of chain games and metaverse provides rich imagination space for Web3.
3. Low valuation and liquidity
Low market capitalization projects often mean greater room for growth, while liquidity is a common challenge in early-stage projects. By analyzing the 100x coin projects in the last bull market, we found that many projects had poor liquidity in the early stages and were usually only circulated on the chain or in small exchanges. Although this may be a disadvantage for short-term traders, it is a good time for long-term investors to deploy 100x coins.
4. Timing and threshold
Data shows that 76% of 100x projects were born in the 2018-2020 bear market cycle, and only 24% were established before 2017. For projects with more than 200x, 85% were created in 2018, 2019, and 2020, while only 1.7% of 100x projects were established in the late bull market (2021). Therefore, projects in 2022 and 2023 are particularly worthy of attention, especially those issued in 2022, 2023, and 2024. In contrast, older projects may no longer have the same growth potential.
5. Low unit price and project type
Projects with lower unit prices tend to be more favored by the market. This phenomenon was very common in the last bull market. Investors tend to choose tokens with lower unit prices, believing that they can get more tokens and bring psychological satisfaction. Therefore, low-priced projects have greater market communication and participation. It is recommended to give priority to public chains or head protocols, as these projects have higher market recognition and ecological development space.
6. Team and Background
Whether a project can develop in the long term, the team and background are crucial. Through research, it is found that among the 100-fold coin projects in the last bull market, a considerable number of them were invested by celebrities in the cryptocurrency circle or well-known institutions. Therefore, it is recommended that when selecting projects, give priority to those with well-known founders or those invested by top institutions, as such projects have greater long-term development potential.
7. Best time to configure
In the crypto market, timing is crucial. The lows of 100x coins tend to coincide with BTC’s lows, and the highs also coincide with BTC’s highs.
History shows that the best time to buy 100x coins is usually at the end of a bear market or the beginning of a bull market, when market sentiment is low but the fundamentals of excellent projects are not affected. Therefore, it is key to formulate a strategy and build positions in batches, and determine the timing of intervention based on the market wash. At the same time, give priority to projects listed on high-threshold exchanges, because the higher the threshold, the more likely it is to screen out high-quality projects.
2. Track Classification
1. Public chain track
Among the 100x coin projects, the public chain track is the most prominent, with a total of 17 100x coins, accounting for 27.8%. In the past cycle, public chain projects such as #SOL, #MATIC, #BNB, etc. have exploded with huge potential by solving ETH's expansion, TPS and GAS fee issues.
In the future, Layer 2 (L2), Layer 1 (L1) and privacy public chains are expected to become new focus points.
Layer 2 #APT
Layer 1 #SUN、#SUI、#AVAX、#NAER、#FTM
Layer 0 #DOT,#ATOM(old coins)
L0 public chains provide the underlying architecture to help different Layer 1 public chains interoperate, while L1 public chains are the base layer for building dApps and processing smart contracts. L2 is mainly a solution for expanding Layer 1, such as Rollups on Ethereum.
2. GameFi track
GameFi has become the second largest track for 100x coins, with a total of 5 100x coins, accounting for 8.2%. Games have always been a battleground for traditional Web2 giants, including Tencent and NetEase in the past, and miHoYo and other large companies in the future. In Web3, the GameFi track also performs well, not only because of its strong ability to make money, but also because it is a key area for attracting traffic. Therefore, the GameFi page has become one of the hot spots for institutional investment.
At present, there are multiple development paths in the game track:
Super apps include AXS and GMT
In terms of game public chains, there are IMX and RON
The entire game ecosystem includes projects such as GALA and MAGIC
The old metaverse includes MANA, SAND, etc.
The diverse path choices provide abundant possibilities for the birth of the next round of 100x coins. The GameFi track is likely to continue to produce the most 100x coin projects in the next cycle, which is worth continued attention.
3. DeFi, MeMe and others
Cross-chain, IoT, DeFi and MeMe coins also have a place among the 100x coins, with 3 100x coins accounting for 4.9%. Among them, cross-chain, as a rigid demand field, will still have new opportunities, while MeMe coins rely more on market sentiment and on-chain analysis.
In the next cycle, the probability of DeFi generating 100x coins is still high, especially in the fields of derivatives, algorithmic stablecoins, credit, NFT lending, liquidity, and Curve ecosystem (CRV). These projects are already growing and deserve special attention, such as the DeFi lending platform#AAVEand its collaboration with the centralized exchange Uniswap (UNI).
4. AI track
In 2024, not talking about AI is like going against the trend. With the widespread application of AI tools such as chat-GPT, the crypto market has also entered the AI field. Top investors have invested in the AI track, and this field may also see the emergence of 100x coins in the future. For example, AI+blockchain solution Fetch.ai (FET) and decentralized data trading market Ocean Protocol (Ocean)
2025 will be another window of opportunity for the crypto market. By analyzing the characteristics of the 100x coins in the last bull market, we can see that low market capitalization, high-quality tracks, long-term narratives, and strong teams are the common characteristics of 100x coin projects. On this basis, reasonable investment strategies, keen market observations, and appropriate timing are all key elements for successfully capturing 100x coins.
