Top 3 Coins under $5 for long-term investment

Crypto is deep in the red right now, but for anyone who understands how these cycles tend to play out, a broad markdown like this looks less like a crisis and more like a buying window.

Top 3 Coins for long term investment

These top 3 coins for long term investment are picked on the basis of their use case, their accessibility, their interoperability, and their potential to grow as we enter the next phase of blockchain of Web3, NFT 2.0, and Decentralized Finance.

Polygon Matic:

Polygon Matic is a layer 2 scaling solution that offers the security of Ethereum with improved speed and decentralized nature. It’s a layer on Ethereum to process the transaction off of the main chain with the Proof of Stake algorithm. This takes a lot of weight off the Ethereum mainnet and transactions are faster and cheaper. Many DeFi and dApp are built using Polygon, and NFT enthusiasts love to use this chain to drop projects with almost no gas fees.

This was the fundamental part of Polygon Matic, coming to technical analysis:  the coin is in just the right position where most traders enter the trade.

Like all other coins,Matic is bleeding red, trading at $0.32 after making a high of almost $3 last year. This coin took 250 days last time to reach from just 30 cents to a high of $2.93 and it has the potential to grow to that level again.

1. Rune Thor Chain

ThorChain’s native coin Rune is fundamentally one of the best coins. Rune is a settlement tool for liquidity pools and it facilitates the swaps between two pools. ThorChain is an independent blockchain built using the Cosmos SDK that will serve as a cross-chain decentralized exchange (DEX). 

Technically, the coin might seem bearish, until you zoom out the chart and look more closely. Rune is resisting the bearish trend, unlike any other coin. Rune has a history of claiming its highs faster than all its rivals. Currently trading above $2, Rune has good support at $1.78 and $1.15 and can easily rise 3x to 5x this year. Some optimistic analysts predict Rune going to $84 by 2030.

1. Near Protocol

Near Protocol is an Ethereum competitor layer 1 protocol that is known for amazing tokens and tokenomics. Near utilizes the Night Shade technique for a multi-node approach to maximize the speed by keeping the security and decentralization at their optimum levels.

Near is a coin that jumped from the current price level of $3.32 to $20 in a mere 4 months and maintained that peak for quite a long time. Near has the potential to grow at least 3x more this year and much more in the years to come.
