But this phase, he says, is precisely when smart accumulation begins, before the retail frenzy arrives. In his latest podcast, he mentioned his top five picks that reflect a balance between safe large caps and high-upside small caps.

Top Altcoins To Buy Now

Chainlink (LINK): The No-Brainer Blue Chip

“This is a piece of the foundation of crypto, and it’s Chainlink. We’re talking about the leading oracle provider, used heavily for integrating real-world data into major chains, especially Ethereum, in various institutional use cases and DeFi protocols.”

“This token is still low. It’s getting interesting on lower time frames with a potential triple bottom on the 4H chart, and it’s testing the key resistance zone. People are still discussing whether LINK is in a bear market or not in BTC. It’s still at the lows of the BTC pair, which signals that the token is undervalued.”

Aave (AAVE): DeFi’s Gateway to TradFi

Aave (Aave): Defi's Gateway to Tradfi

“My second pick is A الموئd. Now, Aave is interesting because it’s becoming a bridge between DeFi and traditional finance.”

“Aave already does lending, borrowing, and liquidity in crypto. But the new developments are A الموئd Bank, which will integrate Aave into the European banking system, and A الموئd Yield, a product for institutions to generate yield in a compliant manner.”

“There’s also political interest in blockchain adoption, which could be a factor. A الموئd could play a role in the next economic cycle as institutions and governments seek new avenues for value generation and stability.”

Wormhole (W)

“For small-cap exposure, I recommend Wormhole. It’s a cross-chain infrastructure layer that facilitates asset movement, and we’re already seeing giants like BlackRock and Apollo using it for tokenized private credit and equity funds.”

“It’s a crucial part of the tokenized real-world asset (RWA) narrative, and with tokenized funds launching through Wormhole, the adoption is increasing rapidly.”

“The weekly chart shows bullish divergence, signaling that accumulation has been taking place. It’s one of the few small-caps with real utility and enterprise-grade involvement.”

Peaq (PEAQ)

“My next pick is a play on Deepin, decentralized physical infrastructure, combining IoT, AI, and blockchain to build the foundation for machine-driven economies, and it’s Peaq. They are building out the network for the future. It’s a small-cap token and has good potential.”

“We have over 50 companies already integrating with Peaq, and the activity is heating up. People are starting to notice it, especially with the integration of BlackRock and Apollo funds into the ecosystem.”

“Compared to early-stage tokens like Grass, which started the year strong but later lost momentum, Peaq has a unique positioning that could lead to 10x gains for investors who recognize its value early on.”

Alkimi (ADS)

Alchemy (ADS)

“My final pick is Alkimi, a company focused on Web3 payments with an ad-based revenue model. Despite the macro challenges, Alkimi managed to increase its revenue from $1.2M to $5M in 2022, and they are now processing 10M daily transactions.”

“This company is also funded by my MN Capital Fund, signaling its potential for long-term growth. I believe Alkimi is well-positioned to capitalize on the evolving digital advertising landscape.”
