It’s been an ugly year for altcoin traders, as the vast majority of coins have lost close to 95% of their value in the ongoing 2018 bear market.

However, the recent string of mainnet launches, coupled with numerous altcoin listings on Coinbase, have worked to partially rejuvenate interest in smaller cap digital currencies. For investors more comfortable taking risks, cryptocurrencies currently trading below a $100 million market cap could present an interesting opportunity.

Here are 5 altcoins under a $100 million market cap that have outperformed over the last month.

Final Take

Despite a period of relatively low trading volume and Bitcoin stability, many altcoins have started to post significant gains. However, the majority of the cryptocurrencies are still trading at huge discounts relative to their January highs. Ultimately, it will likely take Bitcoin to break out of its low-volatility trading channel to bring any real bullish price action back to the market, but building positions in several well-positioned altcoins may not be a bad idea.
