There isn’t much time left until the end of the year, and right now I’d be looking not at coins that are already up +300%, but at projects in sectors that are still attracting money.
I’ve picked 3 options. Let me say upfront: these aren’t “guaranteed 10x” coins, but they do have real reasons to keep moving higher.
1. ONDO — a bet on RWAs
If the RWA trend keeps gaining momentum, I definitely wouldn’t write off ONDO.
ONDO is currently trading at around $0.46, and the project’s market cap is about $2.2 billion.
The most interesting part is that Ondo itself continues to develop the tokenization of real-world assets. The project already has hundreds of tokenized US stocks and ETFs, and the volume of Ondo assets on the Solana network has grown significantly over the past month.
So this is no longer just a nice story about “banks coming to the blockchain someday.”
They’re actually moving in that direction.
My bullish scenario through the end of 2026: $0.70–1.00.
If the altcoin market really takes off, higher prices are possible too.
But I definitely wouldn’t count on a 10x from here.
2. AAVE — old-school DeFi that’s still more alive than many newer projects
AAVE is periodically forgotten when everyone starts hunting for the next new coin.
That’s a mistake.
AAVE is currently trading at around $150, with a market cap of about $2.3 billion.
While a lot of new tokens exist mainly for people to trade the tokens themselves, Aave remains one of the DeFi protocols that actually works.
Plus, DeFi is gradually getting a second life through its intersection with RWAs and stablecoins.
If the market keeps recovering, I wouldn’t be surprised to see:
$220–300 for AAVE.
This isn’t a coin for a hypothetical 50x.
But at least it’s clear what people are paying for here.
3. ENA — the riskiest option of the three
Now this one gets more interesting.
ENA is currently trading at around $0.19, with a market cap of about $2.6 billion.
Over the past month, the coin has already gained, but compared to its previous prices, it still looks pretty beaten down.
Why am I even looking at it?
Because Ethena is right in one of the hottest parts of the market — stablecoins and DeFi.
But the risk here is much higher, too.
If the market delivers a strong altcoin season and interest in Ethena keeps growing, I’d be looking at the range of:
$0.35–0.50.
In a really strong scenario — even higher.
But out of these three, I’d consider ENA the most speculative.
If I had to choose just one:
🟢 ONDO — the most interesting narrative.
🟡 AAVE — the clearest fundamentals.
🔴 ENA — more risk, but potentially a sharper move.
Personally, ONDO is the one I’d be watching most closely right now.
Now I’m curious to hear what you think:
If you had to buy one and forget about it until the end of 2026 — ONDO, AAVE, or ENA?
