The year opened at a mere $750 Billion in MCap and ended Q1 over $1.8 Trillion.

Altcoins pulled a better performance and grew by 230%.

The sector that outperformed them all was DeFi, with a 290% rise.

Where do we go from here?

Based on a statistical analysis we've conducted last week, it is clear that the upcoming quarter is likely to be a very interesting one to say the least.

Cryptonary's Predictions

👇

Based on the narratives being pushed that we continuously monitor, in addition to the trends, here are our predictions.

The quarter will be bullish for both Bitcoin and Altcoins, however Alts are likely to outperform on a percentage basis.

Bitcoin

Given the stimulus bills being passed by the US Government, the latest one being the $1.9 Trillion COVID Relief Package, dollar devaluation is hard to overturn at this point. The FED would need to pull a miracle and investors know it.

These worries about inflation are only increasing Bitcoin's attractiveness to those investors. Given the stats and fundamentals, we cannot rule out Bitcoin growing by 50% this quarter and reaching a price of $90,000 per BTC.

Ether

ETH investors see what others don't at the moment. Many are focusing on the delays while others are using them as opportunities to scale in before the remainder of market participants see Ether's value and economic model (with EIP1559 & ETH2.0). We already saw a company put ETH on its balance sheet, we are expecting more of these announcements.

From a technical perspective, ETH has just broken out from the 2017 high of $1,420 and is in retest-mode. The limiting factor right now is $2,000, coinciding with BTC sellers at $60,000.

The market structure is hinting towards a huge advance in prices. If we had to make one, our ETH price prediction for Q2 2021 would be $4,000 per ETH.

DeFi

The smaller the market cap, the higher the volatility (beta) compared to the market average. Add this to the tremendous value that many DeFi tokens hold and you get a multiple Xs possibility for the quarter.

Our prediction is we will see DeFi Alts rise anywhere between 3X & 5X in price - in addition to the major advances seen already.

The Big Long

Every so often a new specific ecosystem gains a lot of momentum. The most recent one was DeFi based on Binance Chain. Valuations went through the roof and prices rode rocketships. The next one?

SOLANA-based DeFi

Decentralised Finance is truly revolutionary, just trying it out proves it. The issue has been that Ethereum gas fees have priced out a lot of market participants. So when they are given the chance to interact with DeFi protocols at quasi-zero network fees, they immediately jump onboard.

We have a reasonable Solana long (spot) that we will be holding throughout this quarter. In addition to that, we will be investing in many new to-be-launched DeFi protocols on Solana. Unfair to call it investing because our target holding period will range between 1 and 6 weeks.

We've allocated capital we can afford to lose to this endeavour as the risks are high. As we all know, with high risks come high potential rewards and this is what we are shooting for.

We will be releasing a journal where we talk about our watchlist for Solana-based DeFi protocols very soon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
