Best Cryptocurrencies to Buy Today

1. Cardano (ADA)

Given the overall bearish momentum in the market, ADA is trading at $0.5865, representing an 11.57% decrease over the last 24 hours. The market cap stands at $20.65 billion, and the trading volume has increased by 3.46% to $916.09 million. ADA has dropped 26.27% in the past week, in line with the market’s bearish trend. The surge in trading volume of the coin comes as institutions race to file for Cardano ETFs.

The US SEC recently acknowledged Grayscale’s proposal to list a spot Cardano ETF. The move marks the first step toward approval, and the ETF will track the price of Cardano daily across major exchanges like Coinbase and Kraken. The Grayscale ETF could boost Cardano’s exposure among investors, and approval could drive the price of ADA higher.

Analysts predict that ADA will jump to $1 due to the approval of an ETF. Meanwhile, whales are accumulating ADA in anticipation of the approval. According to analyst Ali, whales bought over 130 million ADA in the past 72 hours by taking advantage of the price dip. The return of whales will drive the price of ADA higher as the market correction nears its end.

2. Uniswap (UNI)

Uniswap’s native cryptocurrency, UNI, is currently trading at $7.14, which represents an 11.99% decrease over the past day. The market cap stands at $4.29 billion, and the trading volume has decreased by 2.55% to $256.43 million. UNI rose to a recent high of $9.6 before tumbling with the overall market. The price of UNI is projected to rise as the exchange continues to launch new features for its users.

Uniswap recently partnered with Robinhood, MoonPay, and Transak to enable crypto-to-fiat transactions. Users in over 180 countries can sell crypto and deposit funds directly into their bank accounts. Uniswap holds $4.2 billion in total value locked, making it the largest DEX globally. The new feature will boost the utility of UNI, hence driving its price higher.

3. Avalanche (AVAX)

AVAX is trading at $20.57 after dropping 9.97% in the past 24 hours. The market cap has taken a nosedive to $8.51 billion, and the coin is down 18.47% in the past week. Despite the bearish price, the trading volume has rebounded 14.47% in the past day to $645.98 million.

The surge in trading volume can be attributed to the recent debut of the Avalanche Card, a Visa-backed crypto payment card. The card was developed in partnership with Rain Liquidity fintech and allows users to spend USDC, USDT, wAVAX, and AVAX directly, hence eliminating the need for conversion. The newest card feature is likely to attract more users and, in turn, drive the price of AVAX higher.

The Avalanche Card is designed for a world where crypto isn’t just held—it’s used. A new way to connect, without relying on mainstream tools.
