Top 7 Cryptos Smart Investors Bought Before Altseason Took Off!

Jakarta, Pintu News – Bitcoin (BTC) recently hit an all-time record high before dipping to slightly lower levels. Now, many people are starting to wonder: Has the altcoin season finally arrived?

However, according to analyst Lark Davis, the real opportunity lies in being able to identify the strongest performing coins early on. The analyst also shared 7 coins that he thinks have the potential to explode this summer.

Solana (SOL)

Solana (SOL) has had a fairly strong cycle, although it is currently still down around 49% from its January peak. However, the SOL/BTC chart shows signs that Solana may be gearing up for a significant recovery.

There is enthusiasm regarding the Solana ETF, and the SEC is currently reviewing its filing documents. In fact, on the PolyMarket platform, the chances of its approval are estimated at 90%.

The current drop in trading volume could be a quiet phase before a big move, making it an attractive time to start taking positions ahead of a potential price spike.

Currently, the price of Solana is down 1.64% in the last 24 hours and is trading at $145.27.

Litecoin (LTC)

Next up is Litecoin (LTC). With talk of an ETF for LTC, as well as the coin’s inclusion on major exchanges and a clean regulatory profile, Litecoin has the potential to attract interest from institutional investors.

Its still relatively small market capitalization (under $10 billion) makes it more attractive compared to Bitcoin or Ethereum.

Currently, the Litecoin price stands at $84.99, down 0.18% in the last 24 hours.

Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum (ETH) has not performed as strongly as other coins in this cycle, but technically the chart still shows the potential for strengthening.

With a sizable inflow of funds into ETFs and updates to the staking system, ETH is expected to experience a price surge in the near future. The ETH to BTC ratio also remains stable, indicating further upside potential.

Backed by increased developer activity, the SEC’s support of the DeFi project, integration with AI technology, as well as plans to increase Ethereum’s scalability by 10 times, ETH has a good chance of experiencing a strong rally over the summer.

Currently, ETH is trading at $2,519, down 0.61%.

Pepe (PEPE)

For investors looking for high volatility and momentum from meme trends, Davis highlights Pepe (PEPE) as Ethereum’s “meme beta”. The coin tends to move quickly when Ethereum and other altcoins rally.

With huge community support, PEPE remains a popular choice. Currently, its price is up 1.32% in the last 24 hours.

Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL)

Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) is Davis’ top pick in the Artificial Intelligence-based token category.

Unlike many other AI tokens that have risen sharply and then plummeted, VIRTUAL has continued to grow consistently.

With solid tokenomics, real-world uses in AI (especially AI agents), and integration with the Base network, VIRTUAL is seen as having strong long-term potential.

VIRTUAL can be a strategic choice for those who want to gain exposure to AI trends as well as to the growing Base ecosystem.

Currently, the price is at $1.69, up 0.65% in the last 24 hours.

Plume (PLUME)

The sixth token is Plume, a new player in the real world assets (RWA) sector. Plume has just launched the Genesis mainnet and offers access to yield opportunities through their platform called Portal.

Despite some setbacks due to the death of one of the founders, the project is starting to show positive signs.

With a market capitalization of around $200 million, PLUME’s current price has recorded a 7% drop in the last 24 hours.

Wormhole (W)

Wormhole (W) is known as a cross-chain protocol that facilitates the transfer of tokenized assets such as stablecoins and RWAs between various blockchains.

To date, Wormhole has handled over $55.6 billion in transaction value and has integrated with large institutions such as Securitize, which is also involved in BlackRock’s projects.

Davis considers Wormhole a “very undervalued” project with a current market capitalization of around $350 million, and sees great potential in the future. The price of W is down 1.52% in the last 24 hours.
