The recent approval of spot Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) did not elicit the positive response many anticipated. Instead, this significant development triggered a “sell-the-news” reaction, leading to a significant drop in Bitcoin’s value. Since January 11, Bitcoin’s price fell by 15%, descending from $48,700 to a low point of $41,500.

This downturn in Bitcoin’s value has sparked varied reactions: while some investors are concerned, others see it as an opportunity to invest, not only in Bitcoin but also in a range of other promising altcoins that might surge in the forthcoming bull market.

Top Best Bet Altcoins for 2024

Cryptocurrency analyst Altcoin Daily has compiled a list of the top 10 altcoins that may not be on your radar but are worth paying attention to. In a recent video, the analyst highlighted these often overlooked digital assets and also explained the reason behind his analysis.

Ethereum (ETH):

Ethereum holds the seventh spot on the list, with Altcoin Daily bringing to notice the upcoming deadline for Ethereum ETFs in four months. The approval of Ethereum spot ETFs is expected in May, offering regulatory clarity and a significant upgrade (EIP-4844) that aims to lower layer 2 fees.

XRP (XRP):

Altcoin Daily notes that XRP has regulatory clarity and suggests that a spot ETF for XRP might not be far off, especially considering recent progress and Grayscale’s addition of Ripple to one of their trusts.

Fantom (FTM):

Fantom recently underwent a substantial upgrade, reducing staking requirements by 90%. This move aims to attract more stakers, enhance security, and make running a validator more accessible, contributing to the network’s strength.

Uniswap (UNI):

Altcoin Daily points out that Uniswap, as a decentralized exchange, remains relevant with its upcoming Version 4 (V4) launch. The $300,000 budget allocated for V4 development is expected to capture the market of long-tail assets and small-cap tokens.

MakerDAO (MKR):

MakerDAO makes the list due to its impressive revenue of about $70 million in Q4, showcasing its stability and potential for growth.

Hedera (HBAR):

Altcoin Daily highlights Hedera’s approval of a 4.86 billion HBAR grant for ecosystem growth, indicating a commitment to further development and decentralized governance.

Polygon (MATIC):

With Polygon 2.0 on the horizon, Altcoin Daily stresses its fundamental improvements. The upgrade is expected to bring short-term benefits and long-term appreciation, making Polygon a notable contender.

Cardano (ADA):

Cardano’s evolution from a research project to a blockchain with real TVL is seen as a significant milestone. The network’s growth metrics, including TVL, transactions, and staking, contribute to its newfound relevance.

Injective Protocol (INJ):

Altcoin Daily notes the increasing number of ninjas staking in Injective, citing its exponential growth. The ecosystem’s incentives, including airdrops, contribute to its rising popularity.

Tron (TRX):

Contrary to misconceptions, Tron is experiencing a resurgence, particularly in its DeFi ecosystem. Token burning activities and collaboration with Tether, making Tron the largest blockchain for USDT, contribute to its positive outlook.
