2 Unstoppable Cryptocurrencies Poised for Massive Gains This Year

Ethena (ENA) and NEAR Protocol (NEAR) are positioned for significant growth in 2026 and beyond. Ethena's synthetic dollar token USDe generates substantial reserve yields and has approved revenue buybacks once supply reaches $7.5B, with analyst price targets of $0.42 by end-2026 and $2 by end-2028. NEAR's Intents protocol enables efficient cross-chain asset swapping, generating $1.9M in protocol revenue monthly, and has attracted institutional interest with Bitwise launching a NEAR ETF and forecasting a 2030 base case of $155 per token.
