Best and cheapest cryptocurrency to buy now

cheapest cryptocurrency to buy now

Despite their high volatility compared to traditional financial instruments, Bitcoin and other top cryptocurrencies are no longer as profitable investments as they used to be. Therefore, investors prepared to take on risk are looking for cheaper cryptocurrencies, which can potentially bring truly impressive profits in the future. In this article, we'll talk about some promising cheap cryptocurrencies and try to answer the question: "What is the best cheap cryptocurrency to buy for an aggressive investor?"

What is the best cheap cryptocurrency?

There's a misconception among many novice crypto investors that a cheap cryptocurrency is one with a low price per coin. But in the crypto market, assets are divisible, so the price of one coin of a certain cryptocurrency doesn't matter for determining whether it's cheap or not. What matters is the cryptocurrency's market capitalisation. The lower a cryptocurrency's market cap is, the more room it has for growth. This also works inversely: the higher the market cap is, the more difficult it is for a coin's price to increase further.

As such, Cardano, which is priced at $1.19 at the time of writing and ranked 6th among cryptocurrencies by market cap, is an expensive cryptocurrency. On the other hand, Compound, which costs $146 and is ranked 92nd in terms of market cap, is relatively cheap.

Advantages and disadvantages of investing in cheap cryptos

Cheap cryptocurrencies have several advantages that attract investors:

  • High potential profit. Due to their undervaluation, cheap cryptocurrencies can bring thousands of per cent profit to their investors.
  • Investment portfolio diversification. Investment diversification is an important tool for any investor. It's even more important in the risky and uncertain crypto market.

At the same time, we shouldn't forget about the disadvantages of investing in small-cap coins:

  • Low liquidity. Small market capitalisation means that there may not be enough buyers in the market, and large sell-offs lead to severe price drops.
  • Vulnerability to price manipulation. A low market cap makes it easier to manipulate an asset's price.
  • Fraud risk. After receiving investors' money, the developers of many cryptocurrencies abandon their projects.

Best cheap cryptocurrency to buy right now

So, what is the best cheap cryptocurrency to buy now? Short answer: no one knows for sure. More detailed one: there are many promising cheap coins, and it's impossible to predict which one will outperform its competitors and turn out to be the most profitable for its investors. We have listed several relatively cheap promising cryptocurrencies that have both room for growth and some liquidity cushion.
