The 18th of March 2025 is set to be a pivotal day for the altcoin market, as each currency appears to offer different opportunities. While PNUT is still trying to find its feet, Pi Network seems to have gone down post-launch while ONDO maintains some stability. This article will highlight these sentiments and analyze the price shifts of altcoins over time.
PNUT (Peanut the Squirrel): Price Shifts Across Different Platforms
PNUT displays major disparities when priced from numerous sources, showcasing its volatility. Forecasts for the short term sit anywhere between $0.25 and 18 cents. Speculative suggestions also come in varying 2025 predictions ranging from $18.6 to $5, followed by 2026 estimates of $0.008 to $7. This volatility indicates PNUT sits on a speculative pedestal.
Pi Network: Post Launch Decline And Future Predictions
Earliest estimates indicate Pi Network’s price fell around 15%, which dramatically lowered its market estimate to $1.17. Milestones such as unlocks and verifications made prior are seen as causes of the crash. Market domination still remains a possibility as no major exchange lines are tested. Prediction for 2025 sits at a staggering but timid $350, with 2026 also predicting an influx, highlighting ecosystem expansion alongside gateway trading services, ideally lifting Pi’s value.
ONDO Analysis: Positive Predictions
More on the optimistic side of things, ONDO displays foreseen price stability forecasts, completely dismissing the volatile market marked by Pi.
Relative to other fluctuations in the market, ONDO’s price appears to be more stable, fluctuating around $0.84. Currently, predictions for 2025 are ranging from $1.01 to an optimistic $11.3, which is expected to be driven by institutional interest and the RWA narrative. Predictions for 2026 are slightly higher, ranging from $4.5 to a more aggressive $6.5. Kraken gives the most conservative estimate for ONDO at $6.5.
Cryptocurrency Market Trends: Macroeconomic Impact
Bitcoin took a minor hit, subsequently affecting altcoins as well.
The market is very volatile for assets like ONDO due to external factors, such as Trump’s crypto reserve announcement, as well as macro-analysts, like Arthur Hayes, remaining sterling towards Bitcoin. This has opened new channels for investment even as scrutiny on economic regulation increases. New funds geared towards cryptocurrency are emerging, but the market continues to be responsive to macroeconomic policies.
Wrapping Up: Diverse Altcoin Landscapes
Extreme fluctuations from the ONDO side highlight the risks that come with meme coins. Post-launch hurdles for the Pi Network showcase the type of ecosystem problems that ONDO is facing. Nonetheless, stonks remain strong for meme coins. ONDO’s stability shows the increasing growth for RWWA and the meme coin machination is directly under the control of the wider economy. Investments across the board for altcoins are needed, but proceed with caution.
