When thinking about buying crypto assets, most people mention Bitcoin and Ethereum for they are the most prevailing digital assets in the market. Bitcoin has the largest capitalization – over $436 billion. It is the first crypto asset whose emergence inspired the development of the whole crypto industry. You can find Bitcoin on any cryptocurrency exchange platform, and it is probably the best cryptocurrency to buy for the long term. What about other digital assets presented in the market rankings? Are they worth buying?

Which Crypto to Buy?

Altcoins is the name for digital assets that emerged after Bitcoin. Many of them strived to repeat Bitcoin’s features and were based on its code, with the addition of some improvements. So we may say that all crypto assets that are not Bitcoins are altcoins (alternative coins). 

If we leave the market leaders and pay attention to middle and small-cap assets, we can say they deserve attention. Small and mid-cap coins are sensitive to market volatility, so they can easily skyrocket when the market’s bull trend. So it makes sense to buy altcoins with smaller capitalization in small portions and diversify your investment portfolio in such a way that even if some coins lose value, others will boost and bring you high investment returns. 

What crypto to buy now? Here are some worthy examples:

• Polygon
• Polkadot
• Solana
• Cardano
• Litecoin
• Tron
• Chainlink.
