Altseason Awakens! Top 5 Altcoins to Watch in August 2025

 

Crypto market enters bullish momentum with rising institutional interest and ETF inflows. Discover the top altcoins to watch in August 2025, including Sui, Litecoin, Solana, and Ozak AI.

The crypto market is once again buzzing with bullish energy. As of the latest data, global crypto market capitalization has surged by 1.54%, reaching $3.95 trillion.

This rise is accompanied by a sharp 34.36% spike in trading volume, which now stands at $161.21 billion. Driving this momentum are two significant catalysts:

1. The enactment of the GENIUS Act by former President Trump, which introduced much-needed regulatory clarity.

2. A massive inflow of $1.85 billion into Ethereum ETFs, dwarfing the $72 million flowing into Bitcoin ETFs.

However, despite this enthusiasm, the Altcoin Season Index sits at 42/100, signaling that we’re not in full-fledged altseason just yet, but the indicators are lining up fast.

With institutional focus intensifying and catalysts like the FOMC meeting (July 29–30) and SEC’s ETF ruling (July 31) ahead, let’s dive into the altcoins that are primed to dominate in August.

1. Sui (SUI): DeFi Volume Explosion & ETF Buzz

Current Price: $4.22

7-Day Growth: +5.8%

Market Cap: $14.6B

DEX Volume (July): $10.3B (+657% YoY)

Sui has gained serious traction, breaking out from a descending broadening wedge pattern, a bullish technical formation. The daily trading volume of $2.58B supports this uptrend.

Fueling investor excitement is a new ETF proposal by Canary Capital, currently under SEC review.

If approved, it could propel SUI to break the $4.75 resistance, potentially targeting its all-time high of $5.517. If the rally weakens, the support zone lies at $3.50. The RSI at 64.73 still suggests there’s room for more upside.

2. Litecoin (LTC): Quiet Giant Gearing for Breakout

Current Price: $114.12

Market Cap: $8.72B

Volume Surge: +30.9% (to $650.5M)

After a minor dip earlier this week, Litecoin bounced from its $105 support and is now flashing bullish indicators. The MACD shows a bullish crossover, and Bollinger Bands are widening, hinting at an upcoming volatility surge.

Resistance lies at $124, with a possible breakout target at $131.18. Meanwhile, institutional sentiment is turning favorable, MEI Pharma recently allocated $100M into LTC, betting on long-term gains.

With ETF speculation growing stronger and altcoin fund approvals likely, Litecoin may rise faster than expected.

3. Solana (SOL): Institutional Inflows & NFT/DeFi Surge

Current Price: $191.79

Market Cap: $103.66B

Weekly Inflows: $311M

Solana is on a tear, up 3.13% today, with daily trading volume exploding by 82.4% to reach $6.4B. Technically, the asset has formed a higher low pattern after retesting breakout levels, indicating a continuation of its bullish trend.

The next resistance level sits at $209.18, with support at $182.57. RSI is hovering around 63.69, confirming a bullish bias.

Beyond price action, ecosystem fundamentals are thriving, thanks to a meme coin revival, robust NFT activity, and the upcoming Alpenglow protocol upgrade.

4. Ozak AI ($OZ): AI Blockchain Token Below $0.25

One altcoin gaining significant attention in this shifting landscape is Ozak AI ($OZ). Trading at just $0.005 during its Phase 4 presale, the project has already raised $1.5M+, selling over 62 million tokens.

Key Features:

1. AI-powered prediction agents & analytics

2. CertiK audited with referral bonuses

3. Staking, data vault access, agent utility

4. Quantum-secure AI infrastructure

5. Hard cap: 10 billion tokens

- 30% for presale

- 30% for ecosystem

- 20% reserved

- 10% for team

- 10% for liquidity

Ozak AI merges blockchain utility with AI applications and positions itself as a real-world infrastructure token, not just a speculative asset.

With no KYC requirements and strategic vesting in place, it's shaping up as one of the top altcoins under $0.25 heading into 2025.

5. XRP Still In Play, but Losing Momentum

While XRP and SOL have seen strong rallies over the past month, momentum is beginning to fade.

1. XRP: Trading at $3.13, with resistance between $3.35 and $3.60, and a weakening volume trend. Regulatory outcomes will be pivotal.

2. SOL: After peaking above $205, Solana is now retesting $181.88, with institutional support strong but volume down 24.21%.

These large-cap tokens will remain relevant, but younger, utility-driven projects like $OZ could offer better ROI as the cycle matures.

Smart Money Rotates from BTC to ETH and Altcoins

According to analysts Miles Deutscher and Philip Zion, we are entering the most profitable phase of this bull cycle. As Deutsche states, “Historically, 80% of the returns occur in the last 20% of the bull cycle.”

This rotation is already in play: Ethereum is gaining ground while Bitcoin retreats, and high-potential altcoins are beginning to outperform ETH itself.

Tokens like ENA and Fluid, both based on Ethereum, are starting to show significant strength. On the Solana and Sui chains, activity from developers and communities is ramping up.

Meanwhile, meme coins (e.g., Bonk) and reflexive tokens (e.g., SPX, USELESS) are attracting speculative capital.

What’s notable? Many of these tokens are outperforming ETH in both USD and ETH pairs, signaling strong smart money flows.

August: Historically the Month of Altseason

According to Philip Zion, August has historically marked the start of major altseasons, especially the explosive runs seen in 2021. He notes that, “Low-cap altcoins often achieve 200–250x returns within weeks during this phase.”

With retail yet to flood in, August 2025 may be the last window to position in undervalued altcoins before the next parabolic wave.

Conclusion: Prepare for the Final Leg of the Bull Run

From Sui’s DeFi growth to Solana’s institutional inflows, and the emergence of AI-driven utility tokens like Ozak AI, the altcoin market is heating up as we enter August.

If history repeats itself, and if smart money behavior is any guide, the next few weeks could define the top performers of this bull cycle.

UPSJ Revives 1985 Fundraising Tradition with “UPSJ Rise UP Run 2026” to Aid UP Track and Field Team


The UP SCINTILLA JURIS (UPSJ) is organizing the UPSJ Rise UP Run 2026, an open to pubic fundraising fun run happening on January 18, 2026, at the UP Diliman Academic Oval. The event aims to raise funds for the UP Track and Field Team, helping student-athletes with nutrition, training, and competition expenses. Reviving a tradition first held in 1985, the initiative reflects UPSJ’s long-standing commitment to the UP community—supporting projects that range from donating trash bins and building campus facilities to providing scholarships and student aid.

The UP SCINTILLA JURIS (UPSJ) is organizing the UPSJ Rise UP Run 2026, a fundraising fun run scheduled for January 18, 2026, at the UP Diliman campus. The event aims to generate funds for the UP Track and Field Team — one of the university’s most dedicated yet underfunded athletic groups — as well as other initiatives that benefit the UP community.

While fun runs have become increasingly commercialized across the country, Rise UP Run returns to the sport’s original spirit of bayanihan. The event echoes a similar UPSJ-led fundraiser held in 1985, reaffirming the organization’s commitment to using collective effort to uplift students and strengthen university programs.

According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, recreational running remains one of the fastest-growing sports nationwide, particularly among young professionals and university students. UPSJ hopes to channel this momentum toward a purpose-driven cause that empowers student-athletes to focus on their training and education rather than financial strain.

“UPSJ has always been an active supporter of the Isko community — from donating trash bins around the campus to building facilities and funding scholarships,” said Engr Joseph Martin P Perez, President of UPSJ. “Through the Rise UP Run, we aim to sustain that legacy by rallying runners and supporters around our student-athletes who bring pride to the university.”

Members of the UP Track and Field Team shared how such efforts directly impact their development. “The organization helps us with nutrition and supplements that are essential for performance athletes,” said Shane, one of the team’s sprinters. High jumper Lawrence added, “Sa probinsya mahirap lang buhay namin, kaya thankful ako sa support ng UPSJ. Nakakapag-focus ako sa training, kaya ginagawa ko talaga ang best ko.”

Beyond this year’s event, UPSJ continues to fund community projects within the university — from campus upkeep to student assistance programs — reinforcing a culture of service and solidarity within the UP system.

The UPSJ Rise UP Run 2026 extends this tradition by bringing together runners, alumni, and supporters for a cause that celebrates discipline, perseverance, and the Filipino athlete’s fighting spirit.

The event will feature 3K, 5K, and 10K categories open to all fitness levels. Proceeds will directly benefit the UP Track and Field Team’s nutrition, training, and competition needs.

The UPSJ Rise UP Run 2026 will take place on January 18, 2026, at the UP Diliman Academic Oval. Click the link below to register!

From Debt to Dynasty: The REDmarkable Journey of Exequila Bulac

In the world of network marketing, success stories often begin with hardship—and Exequila Bulac's journey is no exception. As the Foundress of SRS Firearies Dynasty under REDinc, her rise from financial despair to inspiring leader is a powerful testimony of faith, perseverance, and determination.

Before discovering REDinc, Exequila worked as an employee at a financing company. A proud high school graduate, she had already achieved what many with limited education could only hope for—employment in a major company. But like many, she soon realized that a modest educational background often comes with a modest paycheck.

Everything changed when she became a mother. Her child’s medical operation demanded a huge sum, and with limited income, Exequila fell into overwhelming debt—reaching as high as one million pesos. Faced with unimaginable pressure and uncertainty, she turned to prayer. And through divine timing, help came.

Her sister, Mentor Ely, introduced her to REDinc. Though she knew nothing about multi-level marketing (MLM), Exequila made the bold decision to try. Her mindset shifted: “Why not learn it? What if this is the way out of poverty?”

On August 8, 2018, her life took a new direction. With the support of mentors Yam ‘YG’ Gavales, Vanesa Gavales, Michael Majan, and Rona Capuyan, Exequila gradually learned the ropes and began earning—impressively landing in the Top 15 Earners during her first year, all while doing REDinc part-time. As the pandemic struck and many relied on government aid, Exequila and her siblings thrived. They poured every waking hour into online networking, running on just two to three hours of sleep. But for Exequila, exhaustion was worth it if it meant covering her child’s medical needs.

But God’s blessings didn’t stop there. Her commitment to REDinc allowed her to buy her own house and lot, begin paying off her million-peso debt, and spend more time with her child—something she could only dream of before.

In 2022, she pushed herself further by combining online and offline networking. Stepping into face-to-face marketing brought new challenges—fear, discomfort, rejection—but Exequila kept going. Her secret? She focused on her dreams, not her doubts. Her courage inspired not only her own progress but also that of her growing team.

“To my REDinc partners,” she says, “keep dreaming. No matter how many rejections or criticisms you face, never give up. Be braver—for your dreams, for your family.” She extends her gratitude to the SRS-Global Family, her mentors, coaches, and all her partners across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. And most of all, to President Jayant Era of REDinc, for believing in their dreams.

Exequila’s story reminds us of one thing: "Sa networking hindi pwedeng puro UTAK ang gamitin dapat may PUSO ka din." – Mentor Lec
