As Christmas approaches, attention is quietly shifting toward a specific market category, made in USA, which is down over 2% week-on-week. Few made in USA coins are starting to show early signals that often appear before short-term moves, driven by momentum shifts, on-chain activity, and time-sensitive events.
With Christmas 2025 just days away, traders are scanning for setups where price strength, structure, and catalyst timing align. Three such US-based projects now stand out, not because of hype, but because the data suggests the next move may not wait until the new year.
Kaspa (KAS)
Kaspa (KAS) stands out as one of the few made in USA coins showing strength across short timeframes. Over the past month, KAS is up about 22%. It is also positive on the 7-day and 24-hour charts. At the same time, it remains down roughly 41% over three months. That mix matters. It indicates short-term strength within a broader downtrend, which is often where reversal setups begin to form.
The first signal comes from momentum. Between October 10 and December 18, the Kaspa price printed a lower low, while the RSI, or the Relative Strength Index indicator, formed a higher low. RSI measures momentum. When the price weakens, but the RSI improves, selling pressure is fading.
The same RSI divergence appeared between October 10 and November 21. After that signal, KAS rallied roughly 74% in a short window. This time, the price has already moved about 18%, showing the setup is active, not theoretical.

Structure adds another layer. Kaspa is forming an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern with a rising neckline. That pattern suggests buyers are stepping in earlier on each dip. The first level to watch is $0.062, a level where the KAS price stalled earlier. A clean move above it could push the price toward the neckline near $0.079, where momentum would be tested again. That expectation keeps KAS on the Christmas watchlist for now.

Risk remains clear. A drop below $0.040 would weaken the setup. A break under $0.036 would fully invalidate the bullish case.
Uniswap (UNI)
Uniswap is one of the few made in USA coins showing strength into Christmas 2025. UNI is up about 15% over the past seven days and has held flat over the last 24 hours, even as the broader market chopped sideways. That relative strength matters because a major governance event lands right on Christmas.
Voting on Uniswap’s long-discussed fee switch proposal ends on December 25. If approved, the change would activate protocol fees and introduce UNI token burns. In simple terms, part of the trading fees would be used to remove UNI from supply over time. Markets often price these events early, which helps explain why UNI has outperformed recently.
The chart also supports the story. On the 12-hour timeframe, UNI is trading back above the 100-period EMA. An EMA, or exponential moving average, tracks the average price while giving more weight to recent candles. Traders use EMA crossovers to spot momentum shifts. The 20-period EMA is now close to crossing above the 50-period EMA, a short-term bullish signal.
Price levels are clear. A clean break above $6.49 would open the door toward $8.18, a move of roughly 29%. Above that, $10.35 becomes the next major resistance if momentum holds. On the downside, $6.03 is key support. A failure there could turn the fee switch into a sell-the-news event, exposing $4.86.

With a Christmas vote approaching and momentum improving, UNI stands out as one of the more event-driven made-in-USA coins to watch.
Zcash (ZEC)
Zcash is the final made in USA coin to watch heading into Christmas 2025, and it stands out for one reason. Whales are back.
On-chain data shows two large withdrawals from Binance in the past day. One wallet pulled 202,077 ZEC, worth about $91.4 million, while another withdrew 4,257 ZEC, worth roughly $1.9 million. Together, that is over $93 million worth of ZEC moving off exchanges. When large amounts leave exchanges, it often signals accumulation rather than preparation to sell.
That activity matters because the Zcash price has been stuck in a tight range. Since December 19, ZEC has traded between $423 and $470, failing multiple times to push higher. Despite the range, the structure is improving. On the 12-hour chart, Zcash is now trading above its major EMAs, and a bullish crossover between the 20-EMA and 50-EMA is starting to form. This setup often signals improving short-term trend strength when confirmed.
If ZEC manages a clean 12-hour close above $470, it would mark a breakout from this consolidation zone. That opens the door toward $547, which is the next major resistance. If momentum builds fast, higher levels near $737 come back into view, though that would depend on broader market support.

The downside is clear too. If whale buying fades and the EMA crossover fails, $423 remains the key support. A break below that exposes $389, with bigger risk toward $302, where longer-term buyers previously stepped in.
In short, Zcash is quiet but positioned. Whale accumulation, improving EMA structure, and a tight range make the next few days critical. Whether ZEC breaks higher before Christmas depends on one level: $470.
