These are still the best altcoins to buy now

The broader crypto market is rebounding today after a choppy start to 2022. As investor sentiment starts to improve, we are likely to see prices recover, consolidate, and surge in the near term. So, what are some of the altcoins to buy? Well, here is some criterion to follow:

It helps if the coins are backed by strong long-term fundamentals and not hype and speculation.

These tokens also have a relatively low market cap, suggesting the potential for growth is high.

Also, the altcoins must be doing great things that will ultimately help increase their value in the long run.

Well, even with the 2022 slump, we still think that the three altcoins below are perfect buys for the year.
