Altcoins Under $1 in the Spotlight… Experts: “Still Plenty of Upside Potential”

As the bull market in 2025 continues to fuel Bitcoin (BTC)'s upward trend, investors are experiencing regret for not purchasing Bitcoin when it was under $1. However, experts emphasize that opportunities still exist. Affordable altcoins with potential based on real-use cases and technological capabilities are emerging, though investors should be aware that their risks are higher compared to major coins like Solana (SOL) and Ethereum (ETH). One representative low-priced altcoin is PRO, which simplifies real estate transactions through blockchain. Although its price recently dropped below $1 (approximately 1,390 won), experts still rate its growth potential highly. It has risen 9.7% in the last 24 hours and over 20% in the past month, with projections suggesting it could reach $1.67 (about 2,322 won) by July. XBorg (XBG), a gamer identity management protocol, is also worth noting. The project has gained attention through collaboration with global e-sports team Evil Geniuses. Currently priced at $0.07452 (about 103 won), it has experienced short-term decline but may potentially rise up to 17% with July's rebound. SUPRA has attracted attention through its technological capabilities, recording over 70 million transactions on its mainnet. It has notably applied 'AutoFi' automated financial technology at the system level, reducing processing delays and enhancing security. Its current price is $0.004233 (about 6 won), with its technical differentiation being a key investment point. World Mobile Token (WMTX), aiming to restructure the communication industry, is another low-priced coin. It has established a rapid foundation with over 53,000 daily active users and more than 2 million registrations. Currently priced at $0.1834 (about 255 won), it has risen 5% in the past day, attempting to shift to a strong trend. Cardano (ADA) is also a notable low-priced altcoin. As a Layer 1 blockchain like Ethereum and Solana, it differentiates itself by emphasizing Bitcoin compatibility. Its strategy to build a DeFi ecosystem using Bitcoin on the Cardano network aims to enter a market four times larger than existing ones. Currently priced at $0.7038 (about 979 won), it may potentially rise to $1.04 (about 1,446 won) by month's end. Lastly, ONDO Finance focuses on connecting traditional finance through blockchain. Supported by Coinbase ($COIN) and Founders Fund, it is emerging through partnerships with JP Morgan and Chainlink. Currently priced at $0.8678 (about 1,206 won), while short-term decline is possible, positive forecasts suggest up to a 19% rise in July. Although these altcoins are priced under $1, they are showing meaningful progress in their respective ecosystems and building growth potential. However, investing in such coins requires thorough risk management and comprehensive market analysis, necessitating a cautious approach.
