Best Cryptocurrencies to Buy Now

 Best Cryptocurrencies to Buy Now    

      1.Bitcoin(BTC             

 

Most investors with exposure to cryptocurrency will want to keep a chunk of their crypto allocation in Bitcoin, and the past month is a good example of why. No one should view digital assets as safe-harbor investments, but BTC is the closest thing to a blue-chip cryptocurrency there is, as evidenced by its performance in trying times. Throughout the chaos of the past month, Bitcoin's market dominance has grown from 42% to 43.1%, as more speculative and unproven coins lost much of their luster. Although BTC has languished much of the year below the $40,000 level, the top cryptocurrency in the world trades above $44,000 at the time of this writing.

                                                                             

2.Ether (ETH)

             

In the world of crypto, there's Bitcoin and Ethereum and then everyone else. BTC and Ether (ETH) are the only two must-own cryptos, as each has a lengthy – relatively speaking at least, for the world of digital currencies – track record, a hard-earned brand name and a devoted investor base. Unlike Bitcoin, the Ethereum network was built to enable the brave new world of smart contracts and decentralized finance, or DeFi, arguably one of the 21st century's most potentially disruptive innovations. DeFi allows the cutting out of traditional financial intermediaries like banks, brokers and exchanges, theoretically enabling truly "trustless" financial transactions. The biggest downside of the Ethereum network, by far the most-used blockchain network in the world, is the high cost of completing a transaction. This is a known issue, however, and developers are working feverishly to bring the dramatically cheaper and more energy-efficient Ethereum 2.0 network to fruition in the coming year or so. A newly formed decentralized autonomous organization, or DAO, recently raised $3 million in Ethereum for the Ukrainian army.

  

3. Solana (SOL

While the Bitcoin vs. Ethereum conversation is a debate all its own, it has an apples-and-oranges flavor to it. Bitcoin is a more archaic peer-to-peer payment system, and Ethereum's grander ambitions as a network allow decentralized apps to be built on top of it, making it more infrastructure than currency. A more appropriate debate is arguably on the topic of which network will emerge as the leader in decentralized finance, which is where Solana comes in. While Ethereum is easily the current frontrunner, with a market capitalization above $360 billion, Solana is a top-10 cryptocurrency in its own right, and its $32 billion market cap is nothing to scoff at. More important, its network fees are dramatically lower than Ethereum's at present, so the longer Ethereum 2.0 takes to go live, the more opportunity SOL has to close the gap

4. FTX Token (FTT)

FTX is one of the world's largest crypto exchanges, with a focus on institutional trading and cryptocurrency derivatives. The firm offers options, swaps and futures on some of the top cryptocurrencies around, and does so while charging low, competitive fees. The FTX token is the platform's native currency, and it's seen explosive growth in recent years as both retail and institutional interest in digital assets has soared. The token is up more than 2,000% since the start of 2020, surging from $2.14 to upward of $47 today. Buying FTT isn't raw speculation or a wager on a meme. It's a bet on the growth and increasing network effects of the FTX platform. In January, FTX was valued at $32 billion in a new round of funding, up from a $25 billion valuation in October.

                                       

5.Avalanche (AVAX)

When a given market is large enough, there can be multiple winners. This is the case in the world of smart contracts and decentralized finance, where Ethereum is the dominant network but blockchains like Solana and Avalanche are also vying for a chunk of the pie. Avalanche has soared more than 2,700% since the beginning of 2021, rallying from the low-$3 range to a price approaching $90. Every day that passes without the much-anticipated Ethereum 2.0 network is a win for low-fee Ethereum competitors like Avalanche and Solana. AVAX is a top-10 cryptocurrency by market cap, with a cumulative valuation of more than $22 billion. Over the last year, Avalanche's share of the overall market has gone from 0.1% to 1.1%.
