Bitcoin climbed back to about $81,000 after the US Federal Reserve held interest rates steady. Some crypto investors now see November as a window to buy altcoins at lower prices.
Advertisement An analyst who has tracked several crypto cycles says buyers may have two to four more months before prices start rising in earnest. The same outlook also warns that November could bring one more drop before that happens.
Below are the coins on that watchlist, grouped by category, with the price targets given for this cycle.
AI Tokens
Bittensor (TAO)
Price: around $220 to $260
Why it stands out: Bittensor works as a decentralized AI network. Its subnets have to hold and stake TAO to keep running, so when they do well, demand flows back to the token. It has a capped supply of 21 million tokens, similar to Bitcoin, and reportedly appears in Grayscale’s ETF filings.
Target: $2,000 to $5,000
Venice (VVV)
Price: about $23 to $24
Why it stands out: Venice offers private, censorship-resistant AI and is backed by venture investors. Its token supply is still inflating, and a few large holders own a big share.
Target: $200 to $300
Large Layer-1 And DeFi Picks
Solana (SOL)
Price: about $90 to $102
Why it stands out: Fast and cheap transactions, a growing developer community and efforts to cut token inflation
Target: $400 to $500, a possible 4x to 5x gain
Hyperliquid (HYPE)
Why it stands out: Hyperliquid is the leading platform for perpetual futures trading. It earns large revenue and uses it to buy back and burn tokens. Its supply has fallen from about 255.8 million to 253.6 million tokens, even with new tokens being unlocked.
Target: $300 to $500
Aerodrome (AERO)
Price: about $0.70
Why it stands out: The main liquidity hub on Base, Coinbase’s layer-2 network
Target: $4 to $5, with an upside case of $8 to $10
Lighter (LIT)
Price: near $3
Why it stands out: A decentralized trading platform similar to Hyperliquid, with a market cap under $1 billion. A large token unlock is due in December.
Target: $15 to $30
Pump.fun (PUMP)
Why it stands out: Solana’s meme coin launchpad, valued at about $2 billion. It earns strong revenue and buys back and burns tokens, a programme scheduled to run until May 2027.
Target: a possible 10x to 20x
Institutional And Real-World Asset Plays
Quant (QNT)
Why it stands out: Quant connects banks to blockchain networks. It has a small supply and a market cap of about $2.4 billion.
