Altcoins To Buy on The Last Day of 2025

Most people enter crypto when prices are already flying. By then, the biggest gains are often gone. The real opportunities usually appear much earlier, when projects are still small, ignored, and quietly building in the background. Recently, a crypto analyst shared a list of underrated micro-cap altcoins worth watching for 2026. 

Bitcoin Still Controls the Market

Before looking at altcoins, Bitcoin’s price action is important. Right now, Bitcoin is moving sideways and has not made a clear move up or down. If Bitcoin breaks lower, it could fall toward the $85,000 level or even lower. Altcoins usually follow Bitcoin, so a deeper Bitcoin drop could push alt prices even lower. However, certain Altcoins could make a comeback in 2026:

Micro-Cap Altcoins on the Radar

One project being closely watched is Plasma (XPL). It has a market cap under $300 million and is linked to the stablecoin narrative. The project is backed by Peter Thiel, which adds credibility. While prices could still fall, Plasma is seen as a strong long-term play if altcoins recover.

Another altcoin is Story (IP), which focuses on intellectual property and blockchain technology. With a market cap near $500 million, it is still considered small compared to its past peak above $4 billion. The token is listed on major exchanges and is showing early signs of strength after a long downtrend.

Avantis is also gaining attention in the DeFi and decentralized trading space. It previously delivered massive gains during earlier rallies and could benefit again when retail traders return.

Finally, Epic Chain, an RWA project backed by Ripple Labs, stands out due to its tiny market cap near $23 million. If XRP gains momentum in the next cycle, related projects like Epic Chain could see explosive moves.
