Bitcoin’s dominance over the crypto market has fallen slightly from its peak of 55% to 53%. Meanwhile, the total capitalization of altcoins remains above $700 billion. Investors are now looking forward to an altcoin season. According to crypto expert Vinicius Barbosa, the two tokens are worth throwing into the basket for the next altseason.
Nano (XNO) is first on the expert’s list
Nano was recently stated by Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence Grok as the most suitable cryptocurrency for payments. A few days later, many platforms such as GNY Range Report, MEXC, and Onramp Money announced their coverage and listings. Meanwhile, XNO was trading at $1.31 as of press time, up 19.21% on the day. Additionally, Nano is up 92% year-to-date (YTD). Thus, it fell behind altcoin projects with higher capitalization such as AVAX.

The altcoin is among the top seven Blockchains with a total value locked (TVL) of $837.97 million. This value is distributed across 349 protocols and collects more than $211,500 in fees in one day. Moreover, the token has a market cap that is 15.69 times higher than its TVL. This is a better ratio than its main rival Solana (SOL).
