4 Coins to Add to Your Portfolio in 2025 That Could Match Binance Coin's (BNB) Staying Power

Binance Coin (BNB) has done what most cryptocurrencies can only dream of — it has not only survived every single market cycle since 2017 but embedded itself so deeply into the architecture of crypto that its relevance keeps growing regardless of price swings.  Instead of only hunting for overnight pumps, the most strategic approach is to identify tokens with the potential to replicate BNB’s resilience, real-world utility, and embedded network effects. Based on early-stage fundamentals and momentum, four names stand out: Little Pepe, Aptos, Ethena, and XRP.

1. Little Pepe (LILPEPE)

Little Pepe has burst into the spotlight with all the swagger of a typical meme coin, yet underneath the surface, it is quietly constructing something far more ambitious. Unlike the majority of meme projects that rely on hype and temporary virality, Little Pepe is building an entire Layer-2 blockchain specifically optimized for meme culture. Rather than gambling on a short-lived token, investors are effectively buying early ownership in the infrastructure that could power the meme economies of tomorrow. In that sense, LILPEPE is aiming for the “BNB effect” — not simply being a meme coin that performs well but becoming a utility token that powers its high-velocity ecosystem. As of Stage 9 of its presale, LILPEPE trades at just $0.0018 yet has already raised over $16.1 million in two months, allotting more than 11 billion tokens while still in presale. With plans for two immediate Tier-1 listings, Certik approval, and a roadmap to aggressively target the world’s largest exchanges shortly after launch, Little Pepe could carve out the kind of staying power that transforms a viral meme token into the backbone of a standalone network. 

2. Aptos (APT)

Aptos exploded onto the scene in late 2022 with a bold claim — to be the fastest, smoothest, most user-friendly Layer-1 blockchain ever built. Born out of Facebook’s defunct Diem blockchain experiment and led by ex-Meta engineers, Aptos arrived with heavyweights like Andreessen Horowitz backing its vision. Its Move smart contract language promised robust security and parallel transaction execution, while its modular approach signaled a new generation of Layer-1 innovation built by people who understand how to scale products to billions of users. Aptos heading into 2025 now looks primed for a major narrative revival, particularly as developers seek reliable networks outside of Ethereum and Solana. If the next bull market brings billions of new non-crypto-native users into web3 through gaming, AI, and payments, Aptos stands as one of the only L1s ready to absorb that mainstream data. That kind of foundational presence is what gives BNB continued relevance even in bear environments — and it is the same presence Aptos is slowly beginning to cultivate at scale.

3. Ethena (ENA)

Ethena surfaced in early 2024 and redefined what a “stablecoin” could be. Instead of a traditional 1:1 fiat-backed structure like USDC or USDT, Ethena’s USDe uses delta-neutral derivatives to maintain price stability while simultaneously generating yield for holders.  Ethena plans to scale its offerings from a simple yield stablecoin to a full “crypto savings layer,” integrating with multiple chains and DeFi protocols to distribute USDe widely. That kind of embedded presence across protocols could make Ethena a core infrastructure asset in DeFi — much like BNB is essential to trading on Binance. If adoption continues and global rules remain favorable for synthetic assets, Ethena could transition from hype token to one of the most critical yield machines in the space.

4. Ripple (XRP)

No coin on this list embodies the concept of staying power more than XRP. About a decade old and still among the biggest assets in the market by capitalization, XRP has survived a regulatory assault by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, emerged victorious, and repositioned itself as the institutional liquidity layer for global payments and transfers. Banks, remittance providers, and even central banks are experimenting with leveraging the XRP Ledger (XRPL) infrastructure for rapid cross-border movement of money and assets. Despite the complex relationship with regulators, the fact that XRP continues to be used globally — especially in Asia and Latin America — speaks to its core strength: it solves a real problem that has plagued banks for decades. Having maintained its spot among the top coins for years, XRP rounds up the list of great picks to include in your 2025 portfolio

Conclusion

2025 promises an ecosystem filled with growth, volatility, and the kind of chaos only crypto can deliver — but staying power belongs to carefully chosen tokens that do something no one else is doing, or do it so well they cannot be ignored. Much like BNB did during its ascent, these coins are moving from speculation to infrastructure. For investors with patience and conviction, gaining exposure before the transition completes is how legacy portfolios are built in the world of digital assets.
