2 best Ethereum tokens to invest in 2024

Ethereum (ETH) is the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap and is now back in the spotlight with increased institutional interest. As traditional finance money flows into the Ethereum ecosystem, Finbold selected two of the best ERC-20 tokens to consider investing.

The finance behemoth BlackRock (NYSE: BLK) has turned its eyes to the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA). For that, BlackRock has already reserved an initial investment of $100 million, currently held in USDC on Ethereum.

Meanwhile, an Ethereum spot ETF will start trading in Hong Kong on April 30 following higher regulatory clarity and approval.

This institutional activity could propel higher demand, not only for its native token, ETH, but also benefit the whole Web3  and decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem being built on Ethereum. As the market expects increased capital inflow for related cryptocurrencies, here are two of the best projects and most-capitalized Ethereum tokens to consider investing this year.

Aave (AAVE) for lending

First, Aave (AAVE) is the most used, capitalized, and liquid lending platform in Ethereum’s DeFi ecosystem. The platform supports 12 other blockchains, creating an active and demanded space for lending and borrowing ERC-20 tokens.

Notably, the protocol has $10.93 billion in total value locked (TVL), while AAVE has a $1.41 billion capitalization. This translates to a 0.15 MCap/TVL rate, which usually indicates an oversold asset with medium-to-long-term potential.

With the expected capital inflow to the Ethereum ecosystem, Aave could stand out as the preferred way for investors to receive yield from their ERC-20 tokens through lending or engage in margin trading through borrowing.

Uniswap (UNI) for trading

Second, Uniswap (UNI) was the first automated market maker (AMM) decentralized exchange, which remains the most popular. Uniswap leads with the highest exchange volume in decentralized finance and its swap pools are the most liquid to trade Ethereum tokens.

As of this writing, the protocol has the fifth-highest TVL in the Ethereum ecosystem, two positions behind Aave. Nevertheless, its governance token, UNI, has a $6.08 billion market cap, scoring a 1.05 MCap/TVL rate.

The indicator suggests UNI currently trades at a fair price based on the total number of tokens invested in its ecosystem. Therefore, this state suggests Uniswap’s price could proportionally follow a future TVL increase, which is likely to happen in a capital inflow to Ethereum tokens.

The Ethereum ecosystem is a wealth place with dynamic capital flow among a diversified landscape of protocols and tokens. Investors and traders can find different solutions in a permissionless and free market, although with relevant risks requiring advanced knowledge and expertise to navigate.

Crypto market ‘dramatically underestimates’ bullishness of spot Bitcoin ETFs

Image
“It’s reckless not to aggressively accumulate BTC at current levels,” K33 senior analyst Velte Lund said in a recent report. The potential of a spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) approval to drive prices up is dramatically underestimated by the crypto market , claim analysts from crypto research firm K33 — formerly Arcane Research.  In a Sept. 5 market report, K33 senior analyst Vetle Lunde and vice president Anders Helseth said the last three months had greatly improved the chances of a spot Bitcoin ETF approval despite the sentiment not being reflected in the price of Bitcoin or other mainstay crypto assets. The analysts explained while Bitcoin had all but given up its gains in the wake of Grayscale’s legal victory over the Securities and Exchange Commission — an approval would “attract enormous inflows” and significantly increase buying pressure for Bitcoin. Bitcoin returned its gains in the wake of Grayscale's victory. Source: K33 Research However, the downside of ...

Crypto Bias Blocks People from Seeing Coinbase as Goldman 2.0: Bitwise CEO

In a recent tweet, Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise Asset Management, shared his frustration with the poor attention given to the US-based crypto, Coinbase, claiming that people are “sleeping” on the crypto business. Horsley argued that while big banks like Goldman Sachs attempt to avoid a “slow death” by investing in technology, APIs, and retail services, Coinbase has already achieved what many banks strive to attain. He points out that the exchange has an exceptional institutional team with 25% of the most significant hedge funds as clients, over 50% institutional volume, and a suite of first-class tech products. The Bitwise CEO also claimed that Coinbase co-invented the USDC payment rail, facilitating $2 trillion in transfers in 2022 Q4 alone. Rant — People are sleeping on Coinbase. Big banks like GS are working to avoid slow death by getting into technology, APIs (Apple deal), more retail services (Marcus), while grappling with the heft of legacy biz, rate exposure, ...
