Top 5 Crypto to Buy In January as Pro-Crypto US Treasury Secretary Joins Office

The U.S. Senate accepted Donald Trumps nomination of Scott Bessent, a pro-crypto billionaire hedge fund manager, as the new Treasury Secretary. Bessent had been quite vocal about his positive outlook on the crypto economy, publicly saying that crypto represents freedom and that it is here to stay.

Interestingly, Scott Bessents appointment has also wiped away the despair that DeepSeek brought to the US stock and crypto markets over the last few days. The crypto market seems positive overall, and is showing signs of recovery, with Bitcoin currently hovering just below the $102,000 mark.

Moreover, Donald Trumps appointment as the US president has seen investments in digital assets, primarily Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, soar close to the $5B mark in just two weeks.

Trumps pro-crypto decisions are not only a major cause for joy among crypto enthusiasts, but they also hint at a major reversal of the US governments take on crypto assets. The pre-Trump administration was quite oppressive for crypto, constantly placing obstacles in the face of innovation.

For instance, on May 31, 2024, Joe Biden vetoed a landmark bill that would have given reputable financial institutions the power to custody cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin. Furthermore, recent revelations suggest that several pause letters were sent to regulated financial firms between March 2022 and May 2023, which asked them to halt and not consider the expansion of any crypto-related activities.

Despite all this, crypto pushed through big time, with BTC surging by nearly 300% in the 2023-2024 period. So, imagine how things will look now that the super pro-crypto Trump administration is in charge. If Trump holds on to his promises and a Bitcoin reserve actually becomes a reality, it could lead to the most crypto bullish period in history.

As the new era of US regulations looms, the hype around meme coins is only growing. If youre new to the game, its not necessarily easy to sort the real meme coin opportunities from the pump-and-dumps. Thats why weve done the hard yards for you and rounded up the top 5 cryptos to buy right now.

2. Solaxy ($SOLX) Solanas Layer 2 Solution for Fast & Reliable Transactions

4. OFFICIAL TRUMP ($TRUMP) Best PolitFi Crypto to Buy Right Now

Its almost impossible to believe that a meme coin that launched just a couple of weeks ago (on January 17, to be precise) is now the third biggest cryptocurrency in the world in terms of market capitalization. But thats exactly what Donald Trump can do send crypto to the moon.

With a market cap of $5.45B at the time of writing, Official Trump ($TRUMP) is the new US Presidents very own meme coin, one that skyrocketed over 12,000% overnight.

Its a PolitiFi token, meaning its a direct reflection of Donald Trumps popularity and acceptance among crypto enthusiasts. So, if the crypto market moves upwards, which it should, the $TRUMP token will most likely be among the top gainers.

Its true; $ TRUMPs current trading price of around $27 is a fair bit off from its all-time high of $75. Even so, our $TRUMP price prediction says the party may not be over. A crypto bull run in 2025, fueled by Donald Trumps crypto-friendly moves, could see the $TRUMP token reach approximately $425, a nearly 1,500% jump from its current price.

5. MAGA ($TRUMP) Trumps Make America Great Again Meme Coin

Make America Great Again, Trumps campaign slogan, is the inspiration behind MAGA ($TRUMP), another Donald Trump-inspired meme coin.

MAGAs mechanics are not all that different from Official Trump, but what made it to this list is its mind-boggling performance in 2024 and its potential for another exceptional bull run in 2025.

With a nearly 450% uptick in price in just the last week (the biggest gainer in the entire crypto market, by the way), MAGA seems to have broken through its consolidation phase.

Bottom Line

Although the above-mentioned meme coins represent some of the best crypto to buy in early 2025 for maximum gains, its important not to get carried away. The crypto market is pretty volatile now and always, meaning even those who see significant gains have to sit through their own share of ups and downs.

Your best move, therefore, is to do your own research (DYOR) before investing, as that will give you the necessary confidence to weather the storms. Finally, none of this is financial advice. We simply aim to offer our opinions and insights.
