Top 3 Altcoins to Buy Now XLM, AERO, HYPE Before Its Too Late!

Bitcoin may still be under pressure, but one crypto analyst says the market could be getting closer to a bottom. Referencing Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong’s recent comments, the analyst explained that Bitcoin’s $60,000 level may mark the cycle low.

More than 50% of Bitcoin holders are currently in loss, a signal that also appeared near the bottoms of the 2018 and 2022 bear markets.

While he expects weakness could continue for a few more months, he sees the current period as an accumulation phase. Here are three altcoins to watch:

$XLM’s Big 2027 Opportunity

Among the altcoins on his watchlist, Stellar ($XLM) is one of the most overlooked projects.

• His bullish outlook centers on the planned tokenization initiative involving the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, which holds and processes over $100 trillion in assets.

• According to the analyst, Stellar has been selected as part of efforts to bring traditional financial assets on-chain, with broader implementation expected in 2027.

• He stressed that this is a long-term story rather than a short-term trade. While $XLM remains far below previous cycle highs, he sees current prices as attractive compared to where the token could trade if tokenization adoption accelerates over the next year.
• As of now $XLM is trading at $0.2211 and is up by 2.3% in the last 24 hours.

Aerodrome Finance Gains Attention

• The next on the radar is Aerodrome Finance ($AERO). The analyst pointed to $AERO’s growing role within the Base ecosystem and upcoming expansion plans that could increase its visibility across the broader DeFi market.

• He also referenced recent bullish forecasts for Uniswap from major financial institutions, arguing that $AERO could benefit from similar growth trends within decentralized finance.

• According to him, Aerodrome’s model stands out because it distributes trading fees back to token holders while continuing to expand its liquidity network.

• As of now $AERO is trading at $0.4936 and is up by 8.86% in the last 24 hours.

Hyperliquid Remains a Market Favorite

The third project on the list of altcoins to watch is Hyperliquid ($HYPE).

• The analyst described $HYPE as one of the strongest performers in the current market cycle, driven by rising trading activity and growing institutional interest.
• He noted that billions of dollars in open interest are flowing through the platform, covering not only crypto assets but also commodities, indices, and other markets.
• He also pointed to strong demand for Hyperliquid-related investment products, noting that ETFs tracking the project have recorded inflows almost every day since launch.
• As of now $HYPE is trading at $72.69 and is down by 1.26% in the last 24 hours.
