3 Moonshot Cryptos to Buy Before the Next Rally

U.S. inflation cooled last month, with prices rising 3.3%, down 0.1% from the previous quarter. More importantly, core inflation also slowed, suggesting easing price pressures. Still, the Federal Reserve remains cautiously optimistic, keeping interest rates on hold for now but announcing possible rate cuts later this year.

Therefore, with improving economic trends, it is an opportune time to consider buying moonshot cryptos. Still, here are three top cryptos to buy that offer strong upside potential alongside the usual suspects. The first is the face of the meme coin trend in Dogecoin (DOGE-USD), which retains its ongoing relevance. The next one is Fantom (FTM USD), an altcoin that has seen strong traction over its new “sister” chain Sonic and a significant investment from a leading crypto fund. Finally we have it chain link (LINK USD), whose value skyrocketed due to its partnership with the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) and the mainstreaming of traditional financial collaborations.

Dogecoin remains one of the most relevant investments and has consistently attracted the attention of investors since its launch. Although some may dismiss it as a trivial investment, the lasting impact of meme investing via Dogecoin is hard to deny. The reality is that meme investments are here to stay, making Dogecoin one of the most relevant digital assets to buy.

Unlike its competitors, DOGE thrives on a robust community base. Its vibrant, active community is bringing awareness to DOGE while improving its ecosystem through its proactive engagement. Still, it is important to understand the fluctuations associated with a meme token like DOGE. Volatility can go either way, which is why it is imperative to assess the risks before betting on meme coins like DOGE.

Nonetheless, its inflation policy remains an important asset as it improves its accessibility and usability and aligns with the community’s growth-oriented mantra. DOGE has experienced rapid growth in value this year, jumping over 143% and is up over 67% year-to-date (YTD). Due to its greater risk appetite, DOGE is one of the best cryptocurrencies to buy for the upcoming rally.

Fantom (FTM)

Fantom is a leading Layer 1 blockchain provider known for its scalability, speed and decentralization. As a Layer 1 blockchain portfolio, it plays a key role in streamlining transaction processing. Transactions are completed on its network, while its unique consensus mechanism limits costs while increasing approval speed.

FTM, like other leading altcoins, has experienced an excellent rally in the last six months, recording gains of over 89%. In addition, some catalysts led to a handsome increase in its value this year. First, Fantom announced that Sonic, its “sister chain,” could potentially process more than 180 million transactions daily.

In addition, it received a healthy investment of $10 million from Korean crypto fund Hashed earlier this year. With its innovative improvements and strong financial support, Fantom now has the impetus to continue capturing larger market shares. The blockchain space is highly competitive, but FTM has several use cases to strengthen its competitive position in its niche.

Chain link (LINK)

Chainlink is another top cryptocurrency that should be bullish ahead of the expected upward rally. Its platform essentially streamlines the way data is absorbed in blockchain systems through decentralized oracles. These oracles essentially act as middlemen, securely routing data from external sources onto the blockchain.

Additionally, they enable various blockchain applications to operate effectively without the need for an external party. Therefore, it is currently at the forefront of decentralized oracle solutions and offers healthy growth potential. LINK enjoyed a spectacular rally, gaining over 200% last year, but 2024 has been relatively muted.

The value of the LINK token skyrocketed following the announcement of partnerships with the DTCC and other large traditional financial institutions. These collaborations will significantly increase LINK’s credibility and thereby improve its acceptance in mainstream finance. In addition, LINK positions itself as an important cog in the blockchain ecosystem due to its strong position in the field of smart contracts.
