3 Top Low-Cap Altcoins: Best to Buy Now

The reason memecoins are so popular right now is the huge eye-popping returns. And if you are new to crypto, you might think that’s the only way to make big money. But it isn’t. Utility coins, coins that add value to their projects, can make big money too.

And the big 50x, 100x, or more opportunities in utility coins come from small-cap projects. It’s easier for a $10 million project to 100x to $1 billion than it is for Bitcoin at almost $2 trillion to 100x to $200 trillion. So today, 3 small-cap altcoins we love that have explosive potential in 2025. For this article, we are calling low caps any project with a market value below $100 million.

1) Velodrome (VELO)

With that in mind, our first project is Velodrome. It’s token Velo has been on fire. It is up 22x from its all-time low of $0.0055 in July 2022. But we are more interested in what it could do now in 2025 or this alt-cycle.  Velodrome is the top DEX on Optimism that’s not on all EVM chains like Uniswap.

Over the last few weeks, you may have heard a lot about the Optimism superchain. Well, Velodrome has an important role in providing liquidity to it as the AMM of Optimism. The Optimism Superchain is a network of connected ETH Layer 2’s that all built their chains using Optimism’s tech stack. So that includes

• Base.
• Optimism Mainnet.
• opBNB.
• Build on Bitcoin (BOB).
• Uniswap’s Unichain.
• Sony’s Soneium chain, and more.

More About VELO

And the connection from using similar tech means apps can work across many of these L2 chains. Velodrome is key here as a liquidity solution since fragmented liquidity is a big issue in our industry. We’ve talked about it before where money moves to Chain XYZ and often just stays there. Velodrome does $2.7 billion in monthly volume across a few of the Superchain chains. Some of the more intriguing deals we’ve found on Velodrome include:

• 12.86% for USDC-sUSD for 2 stablecoins
• 15.75% for Wrapped Lido Staked ETH- Wrapped ETH OR
• A Concentrated LP on Optimism paying 4077% for USDC-USDT.

There are some great pairs here to provide liquidity for coins you probably already have in your portfolio.

Price Performance

Velodrome’s $VELO token is benefitting from the growth in Optimism and the Superchain. In the last 12 months, it’s up 127%. Over the last 3 months, it’s up almost 50%. About 45% of the total supply of 1.9 billion is in circulation. That’s not bad but not great. The number is 855 million. And at its current price of 14.4 cents, which means that Velodrome’s market value is $96.5 million.

Velodrome looks like a good proxy for a wager on the growth of Optimism and the Superchain. If you think they will grow, then Velodrome likely will, too. If you are interested in buying Velo, it is available on Coinex, and in the description, you can find our referral link. We never mind making some referral benefits (jokingly)

2) Seedify (SFUND)

Next, we have Seedify. If you’ve been with us for a while, then you know 2 things:

1. We like Seedify AND
2. IDOs do best in bull markets when people are optimistic about the industry.

And while a big, full alt season has not hit the market yet, many alts are doing better than earlier in the year. Quietly, the IDO market is getting better, too. And that means launchpads like Seedify will get even busier than they are now.

So what do you need if you want to take part in Seedify’s IDOs? You need their native $SFUND of course. Here is a guide about it. And like all launchpads, you have different levels or tiers based on how much you own and/or stake on the platform. The tiers start at 500 $SFUND ~$700 and go up from there.

Another thing we like about Seedify in particular is their aggressive expansion into AI and specifically AI agent project IDOs. This is a sector that will be growing for years. Seedify is developing its expertise in this market now. As recently completed IDOs for MicroGPT and  AgentsAI show, these projects get funded on Seedify.

Price Performance

Seedify is still barely in the small-cap category with a market cap of $93 million. 63 million $SFUND are in circulation now out of a total supply of 100 million. It’s down over the last year by 38% but that’s no big surprise considering where the market was earlier this year.

Seedify has rebounded and is up 25% in the last 30 days. And we see this as a sign that alts are coming back and new IDOs with them. We don’t expect this market cap to stay under $100 million for much longer.

3) ChainGPT (CGPT)

Last, for today, we have ChainGPT. ChainGPT is full of tools using AI to help projects do more, better,and faster and it did 69.5x in its 2023 IDO  Whether it’s their launchpad for related projects or chatbots or NFT generators, ChainGPT brings AI into the hands of users. It gives developers the help they need when adding services to their apps and protocols.

There are even white-label solutions so a project can deploy faster and cheaper to see if the market for the product they believe there truly is. These lower-risk deployments of new projects just increase the developer’s odds of success. They just recently helped with the Kima Network launch. Kima, due to its Mastercard connection, is one of the hottest TGEs of the season.

And that’s just one project using one CGPT tool, the launchpad.

Price Performance

$CGPT only just recently climbed over $100 million in market cap. But since it only just happened, we are still counting on this list. ChainGPT is up a modest 13% in the last year. That’s excellent considering where alts were in the first half of the year. But all the ROI holders are seeing is recent.

ChainGPT is up ~15% in the last 3 months and 27% in the last 30 days. 75% or 744 million out of a total supply of 998 million are in circulation. So that’s excellent. It’s still well off of all-time highs at 55c. That would be an excellent 2.5x from here at 15c.

ChainGPT has the potential to be a $1 billion project. Both Sfund and CGPT are available to trade on Coinex.
