The cryptocurrency market has had a stretch of stagnancy in recent months, but do not be deceived by the quiet. Despite this, there are a number of hidden gems in the crypto market that can yield substantial profits. The crypto market has seen countless downturns throughout its history, but it always manages to rebound. Although historical performance does not forecast future outcomes, it provides a convincing argument for investing a small part of your portfolio in some overlooked cryptocurrencies.
Specifically, the major part of your crypto portfolio should be invested in larger, stable projects like Bitcoin (BTC-USD) and Ethereum (ETH-USD). I personally predict substantial growth for BTC and ETH in the aftermath of the upcoming halving’s supply crunch, with Ethereum potentially benefiting from Bitcoin’s momentum. Nevertheless, those looking for life-altering profits might find it wise to invest some discretionary funds into low-cap cryptos with high potential and promising technology.
Consider these seven overlooked cryptocurrencies:
Solidus AI (AITECH-USD) is an AI-focused crypto project. Unlike many AI crypto projects, Solidus AI distinguishes itself with a physical data center. The project’s high-performance computing data center, located in a secure location in Europe, spans over 8,000 square feet. The AITECH token is designed to function as a payment method for licensing Artificial Intelligence as a Service (AIaaS), Blockchain as a Service (BaaS), and accessing high-performance computing (HPC) resources through their Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platform.
It’s been a winning year for this project, with its value rising from approximately $5 million at the start of 2024 to $234 million by mid-March. Despite a subsequent cooling period reducing the market cap to $118 million, I foresee significant growth ahead as AI continues to infiltrate the blockchain space, especially given Solidus AI’s physical data center could potentially drive substantial hype.
Three Protocol (THREE-USD) employs Zero Knowledge Proof Pseudonymous for on-chain profiles with ZKP reviews and history. This allows digital IDs with pseudo-anonymity, no-KYC regulations, neural network AI, and Tri-Sig DAOs for crypto marketplaces. The technology is not necessarily revolutionary, and similar benefits are offered by many other cryptocurrencies. However, the consolidation of these features under one roof gives Three Protocol an edge. The project has a market cap of a modest $34 million but has demonstrated impressive stability. As we witness a transition towards decentralized exchanges and crypto marketplaces, this crypto has the potential for multi-fold returns.
Node AI (NODE-USD) is a lesser-known crypto in the AI space. The project allows people to rent AI servers with high GPU capabilities on a monthly basis, with these “servers” being resources pooled from around the globe. While other blockchain computing projects span broad sectors, Node AI’s focus lies in AI computing. The market cap sits at a reasonable $137 million, and with an AI rally on the horizon, its value could engorge to well over $500 million.
The XDC Network (XDC-USD) is a layer 1 blockchain focusing on real-world assets (RWAs), specifically interested in commodities and real estate. The current market cap is $502 million, but with the emergence of more RWA projects, this could see a steep rise.
Blue Kirby (KIRBY-USD), although a memecoin, presents an opportunity for high-risk, high-reward plays. After a substantial selloff in March, it now trades near an established floor with significant growth potential. Given its popularity on the Fantom (FTM-USD) blockchain, it could see a surge in market cap when the bull market recovers.
AIOZ Network (AIOZ-USD) operates on a global network of decentralized nodes (DePINs) contributed by users. The network rewards contributors in AIOZ for sharing their device’s computing power, storage, and bandwidth. This resource pool is utilized for data storage, media file conversion (transcoding), media streaming, and running decentralized AI workloads. With a market cap of $848 million, AIOZ has already demonstrated positive price movement, and a breakout could result in noteworthy gains.
Finally, Spectre AI (SPECTRE-USD). This project is a Telegram bot delivering short-term price predictions within 6h, 12h, 24h, and 48h. Even though it has seen substantial growth since the start of the year, with a market cap of $18 million, it could still yield substantial returns, especially considering that it is currently only listed on Uniswap.
