Crypto industry participants have been trying to figure out which altcoin will be the next big thing ever since altcoins first appeared. Of course, these days, the selection is so massive that it is next to impossible to consider them all. This often leads to some great coins and tokens getting lost through the cracks.
To prevent this, we have created a list of the top 10 best altcoins to buy right now. These are low-cap tokens that are under the radar of most investors, despite the fact that they have the potential to reach a much greater following.
Some of them are even still in the presale stage, so joining up early could allow investors to make sizable profits simply by purchasing these tokens before they even launch. Here are some of the best low-cap altcoins available right now:
Best Altcoins To Buy Now — Top Picks
eTukTuk (TUK)
The first under the radar altcoin to consider is a project called eTukTuk (TUK). This is a project that aims to revolutionize transportation in developing economies by delivering an AI-powered, eco-friendly electric vehicle. Not only will it help protect the environment, but its small size also helps reduce traffic on the roads.
The project believes that its eTukTuk is the eco-friendly future of transportation, first in developing countries, and then in the entire world. Meanwhile, it has also developed a Play-To-Earn (P2E) game for its token holders to participate in.
The game grants users rewards for playing. Meanwhile, the game itself will have them drive an eTukTuk through the streets of Sri Lanka and act as a taxi service for busy customers.
Right now, the project is still in its presale stage, selling its token for $0.029. So far, it has raised over $2.59 million, and with the presale coming to an end soon, investors who wish to participate and join early will have to move quickly.
Anyone interested in buying TUK tokens can do it with their credit or debit card, or in exchange for BNB, ETH, or USDT: With the world rapidly going green, vehicles like these are likely to see great popularity in the near future, so getting involved early might be a long-term investment worth considering.
Wen (WEN)
Wen (WEN) calls itself the first community coin based on a fractional NFT. Fractional investing has grown to be quite big in crypto over the years. The concept is simple — those who cannot afford to buy an entire asset of any kind can buy a fraction of it and share ownership with others.
The Wen token came to be when crypto community members decided to create a community coin that would help them to give back to a wider Solana community, and immortalize WEN culture along the way.
According to the project’s website, the community coin emerged when the @weremeow’s poem ‘A Love Letter to Wen Bros’ was split into a trillion pieces. These pieces trade like normal Solana tokens, but each of them gives fractional ownership of the poem.
However, Wen also has several larger goals, such as pushing the limits of Solana. It is the first community coin based on a fractional NFT, and it is also the first official launch on the LFG launchpad belonging to Jupiter DEX. Apart from that, it is also the first NFT minted on the WNS NFT standard. In other words, the token is quite important and it continues to rapidly grow in popularity.
Dogecoin20 (DOGE20)
Moving on we have Dogecoin20 (DOGE20). This new altcoin is based on the original Dogecoin from 2013 — the first and largest meme coin in the industry. However, DOGE20 comes with its own unique spin.
For one thing, it allows users to stake their DOGE20 tokens, which is something that is not available with the traditional Dogecoin. This is because Dogecoin20 is an ERC-20 token, meaning that it is based on Ethereum’s network, hence the “20” in its name.
By way of Ethereum’s smart contracts, DOGE20 brings a passive earning potential to its community. Not only that, but it provides eco-friendly rewards, allowing the legacy of Dogecoin to go toward a more sustainable future.
Being an ERC-20 token, it can be stored in any Ethereum-supporting wallet. Last, but not least, the token also has a limited total supply of 140 billion DOGE20, unlike traditional DOGE, which is not capped, and can continue mining new coins forever. Capping a supply removes the inflation risk, which is something that DOGE will forever struggle with.
Best of all, DOGE20 is still in presale. This means that you can get it early, which is worth considering, especially due to the fact that the token will go live on April 20, also known as Doge Day. As such, it is expected to see a considerable price increase immediately upon launch.
Banana (BANANA)
Banana (BANANA) is a new token that evolved from the original project called Genesis Kongz. This is a project that revolves around providing access to an alternate reality, where evolution took a different route, and weird apes emerged as the rulers of the Earth. Now they wonder the world as CyberKongz.
The project has made several major steps since its launch, including the launch of the BANANA token, breeding babies, enhancing Web3 security using the Guardian Contract, and more. In fact, the project has quite a developed ecosystem for such a small-cap cryptocurrency as BANANA. Its market cap as of the time of writing is only $14.7 million. But, apart from this token, the project also features a CyberKong NFT collection, as well as a P2E game.
But, Banana still sits at the core of everything in the CyberKongz universe and continues to grow as the project grants it more and more utility.
While the project continues to grow, so does its potential increase, which is why we believe that BANANA is a cryptocurrency worth considering. Even though it operated off the radar until now, the token is actually becoming more and more noticeable.
CyberKongz already has over 290k followers on X and counting, and with its Play & Kollect recently migrating to Ronin Network, chances are that more users will soon become aware of it.
Smog (SMOG)
Halfway down the list, we have a dragon-based meme coin called Smog (SMOG). Smog is a Solana-based cryptocurrency that launched just in time to become popular due to 2024 being the Year of the Dragon — the most powerful creature of the Chinese zodiac, and also the symbol of luck.
While the project’s market cap is over $133 million, this is still relatively small considering its potential and plans for the near future. Specifically, Smog is planning to hold the “Greatest Solana Airdrop of All Time,” and according to its platform, Airdrop Season One ends in only 5 days from now.
In order to participate in it, users are required to earn XP, which they can do by purchasing SMOG tokens and staking them. To make the offer even more attractive, the project introduced a 10% discount on all token purchases, allowing users to buy them in exchange for ETH or USDT, as well as with fiat currencies by way of credit and debit cards.
The more SMOG one buys and stakes, the more XP they earn, and the more they profit from the airdrop. While the airdrop is now only a few days away, it is not too late for interested participants to join. And, regardless of getting free tokens via airdrop, users still get to earn rewards from staking SMOG.
Ocean Protocol (OCEAN)
In the sixth spot, we have Ocean Protocol (OCEAN). While the project does have a sizable market cap of $803.6 million, this is still far from its full potential, which is why we decided that it deserves to be on this list.
Ocean Protocol is a project that combines blockchain technology, decentralized networks, nd cryptographic techniques to facilitate secure, privacy-preserving data sharing. In other words, it is a tokenized AI and data project that allows users to monetize AI models and data while preserving their privacy.
Another reason why investors should consider this token is its collaboration with FET and AGIX. Together, the three are working on creating the Artificial SuperIntelligence Alliance — a decentralized alternative to existing AI projects controlled by Big Tech.
But, even by joining Ocean Protocol alone, you get access to data farming rewards, the ability to build token-gated AI dApps and APIs, design AI models and analytics for data science competitions, which could lead to their own rewards, as well as Predictor — a feature that lets you run AI-powered prediction bots or trading bots on crypto price feeds. This, of course, allows users to earn money through trading.
Simply put, the project has a lot to offer, and given all of that, its market cap seems quite tiny compared to how big it could (and undoubtedly will) get.
5th Scape (5SCAPE)
Up next, we have 5th Scape (5SCAPE), which is another high-tech project that aims to become your gateway into what it considers to be the next big thing of this decade. That, of course, refers to the worlds of augmented and virtual realities.
AR and VR have been around for some time, although they are still in their infancy, and there is a lot of room left to grow. However, 5th Scape believes that this growth will happen rapidly over the next 10 years and that this technology will connect some of the world’s smartest minds together.
Virtual reality will rewrite the boundaries of the real world, and provide us with an infinite virtual existence featuring new methods of education and entertainment, from hyper-realistic games of all kinds to new, highly immersive experiences that can teach us by providing first-hand experiences in a safe way.
Best of all, the project is still in presale, so you can easily buy its token, 5SCAPE, while its price is still extremely low. Right now, the token sells for $0.00248, although it still has multiple rounds of presale to go to.
Still, each round will increase its price, so buying as early as possible is beneficial. At the time of launch, the token’s price will be $0.01 — 303% higher than it is right now, plus any growth that it sees due to high demand post-launch.
Bitcoin Minetrix (BTCMTX)
Moving on, we have Bitcoin Minetrix (BTCMTX) — a project that attracted a massive amount of support over the last several months, as Bitcoin kept inching closer and closer to its block rewards halving.
Bitcoin Minetrix is a cloud mining platform that allows users to mine BTC without having to pay massive electricity bills, or purchase expensive mining rigs, that typically cost thousands of dollars. Instead, all that users need to do is buy its own BTCMTX tokens and stake them. In return, they receive credits that allow them to receive BTC mining rewards.
The simplicity of the process makes Bitcoin mining available to everyone, and the community liked the prospect so much that the project already raised $12.7 million, with its presale currently still going strong.
Best of all, it is fully decentralized and transparent, so there is no risk of rug pulls or scams commonly associated with fraudulent cloud mining platforms of the past.
Meme AI (MEMEAI)
Nearing the end of the list, we have Meme AI (MEMEAI) — a project that intends to transform meme communities into marketing titans. It comes with a meme generator, an NFT marketplace, as well as its own token.
However, despite its potential, the project has a market cap of only $6.1 million, which suggests that not a lot of people know about it yet. This provides investors with an opportunity to get involved with this project early and be there for all of its important milestones.
Meme AI provides its users with technology that empowers them to unleash their meme creativity to the fullest and take their memes to the next level. For better or worse, memes have grown to become a massive part of modern culture. They are used in entertainment, advertising, and even education.
Not to mention the ever-growing meme coin market which is one of the best-performing crypto markets right now. In other words, memes are no joke (pun intended), but a massive opportunity for those who are creative and able to recognize their — and the project’s — potential.
To give you a glimpse of the project’s practical use, it provides you with an AI-powered meme generator, as well as a meme NFT marketplace where you can sell your creations and earn a profit from your creativity alone. And, it is simple enough for anyone to use. With that said, it is clear that the low market cap of only $6 million makes this project extremely underrated.
Slothana (SLOTH)
Finally, we come to our last entry, which is Slothana (SLOTH). This is a project that emerged only days ago, and is currently in the middle of a presale itself. It offers 10,000 SLOTH tokens for each SOL that you deposit to its smart contract. Alternatively, you can use the buy widget on its website to purchase SLOTH directly.
After that, all that users need to do is wait for an airdrop scheduled to come at some point in the future, which will grant them their tokens.
It is worth noting that Slothana is growing at a rapid pace, especially in terms of community. Only two days ago, the project had no more than 500 followers on X. Right now, its follower count is nearing 3,350. The project even referenced this in one of its posts on the social media platform.
While Slothana is slow with updates to its site, this is actually in character for a project that revolves around sloths. But, more than anything, it represents another example of Solana’s massive and rapidly growing meme coin sector, which threatens to become the entire crypto industry’s meme coin hub.
Conclusion
With that, we conclude our list of the best low-cap altcoins to buy right now. As you can see, the list has cryptos that have been around for years, as well as those that haven’t even launched yet. One thing that ties them all together is their potential.
Whether because of their technology, use cases, ideas, or something else, these are coins and tokens that could become big. All they need is for the right people to learn about them, and they will find their place under the spotlight.
