The next cryptocurrency to explode in 2022

The next cryptocurrency to explode in 2022

Crypto investors had a very good year in 2021. The total market capitalisation of the crypto market increased over the year from $776 billion to $2,230 billion, reaching its all-time high of $2.975 trillion on 10 November 2021. At the same time, there were cryptocurrencies whose price growth far exceeded that of the crypto market as a whole, generating mind-blowing profits for their investors. Of course, any crypto investor would like to know which coins will skyrocket in the same way in 2022. What are the next crypto coins to explode in 2022? Let's figure it out.

What's the next cryptocurrency to explode in 2022?

While investing in leading cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum is much safer than in cryptocurrencies with smaller market caps, you can no longer expect them to show truly impressive growth. Therefore, to find the next potential 'gold mine', you need to search among lesser-known cryptocurrencies. We have compiled a selection of cryptocurrencies that have a chance to generate large profits in 2022.

However, remember that investing in cryptocurrency is highly risky. No one can reliably predict how the price of any cryptocurrency will change. Always do your own research before investing, and don't invest money you can't afford to lose. At the moment, the crypto market is in a state of uncertainty, and the trend may well become bearish. If this happens, the chances that any of the listed cryptocurrencies can bring a good profit will decrease dramatically.

Elrond (EGLD)

Elrond is a blockchain platform aiming to be an ecosystem for the "new internet". The Elrond network can process up to 15,000 transactions per second, making it one of the fastest blockchains available. Elrond's developers are building an ecosystem by adopting successful solutions from various competitors. Currently, the price of the Elrond token is more than two times lower than the historical higher while the project keeps developing.

Audius (AUDIO)

Audius is a decentralised music streaming platform. On Audius, any musician can upload and monetise content. You don't need to sign a record deal or have a large following to start distributing music on your own terms.

Bonus: The next cheap cryptocurrency to explode in 2022

As digital assets, cryptocurrencies are divisible, and you don't have to buy a whole Bitcoin to invest in it. Despite this, many crypto investors are interested in promising coins with a low price per unit. So, what is the next penny cryptocurrency to explode in 2022? We list some candidates below.

Theta Fuel (TFUEL)

Theta is a decentralised video streaming network that uses the excess bandwidth and computing resources of users to improve video quality. Given that the video streaming niche is large and continues to grow, as well as the advantageous features the project has compared with its centralised competitors, the token's price is quite likely to increase noticeably.

Ravencoin (RVN)

The main goal of the Ravencoin platform is to simplify the creation and transfer of assets. The platform makes it possible to create digital assets and tokenise almost everything that has value. Tokens created on this platform have a number of advantages over tokens created on other platforms. In addition, the project continues to develop and enjoys the support of the crypto community. All this suggests that the coin price is still far from the maximum.
