Institutional Bitcoin demand may be surging, but Sygnum Bank says altcoins are primed for a rebound. Here are five under-$0.05 cryptos with breakout potential as Q2 heats up.
Bitcoin’s dominance has surged to a four-year high. According to Swiss digital asset bank Sygnum, the broader crypto market is only just starting to reflect the impact of a wave of favourable policy changes and altcoins could be the next beneficiaries.
In its latest investment outlook, Sygnum noted that while Bitcoin remains the institutional entry point, significant regulatory upgrades in Q1 have not yet been fully priced in across the altcoin space. The US digital asset reserve initiative, new stablecoin legislation and improved frameworks in Europe are creating the ideal environment for a broader Q2 rally.
Ethereum’s layer-2s, particularly Base, have already seen rising on-chain activity. Meanwhile, projects like Toncoin and Sui are experimenting with user incentives to drive adoption. But many are still struggling to convert developer interest into real revenues.
Meme coins remain volatile but they’re no longer just jokes. Increasingly, retail capital is flowing into meme tokens with defined use cases, especially those that tap into narratives like AI or scalability.
With that backdrop, we spotlight five cheap cryptocurrencies under $0.05 that are building meaningful traction. Whether they’re solving infrastructure problems or pioneering new models for AI-assisted trading, each of these altcoins is positioned to make noise in the coming quarter.
Solaxy (SOLX) – $0.001704
Solana’s rapid rise has come with growing pains – congestion, transaction failures and rising user frustration. Solaxy is the chain’s first dedicated Layer 2 solution, created to solve exactly those issues. Built using roll-up architecture, Solaxy compresses transactions before pushing them to Solana’s mainnet, reducing costs and enhancing throughput.
With over $31.3 million already raised in its presale, Solaxy has quietly become one of the most well-funded infrastructure projects of the year. Its testnet blockchain explorer is already live and the team has continued to push weekly updates improving storage speeds, cross-chain functionality and developer tooling.
JOIN THE SOLAXY PRESALE – SOLANA’S SCALABILITY SOLUTION STARTS HERE
Solaxy’s broader thesis is clear: if Solana wants to scale to support the next wave of dApps and meme coins, Layer 2 is no longer optional – it’s essential. That clarity is driving grassroots support, with over 60,000 followers on social media and accelerating presale interest.
BTC Bull Token (BTCBULL) – $0.002475
As Bitcoin surges, retail traders are turning to BTC Bull Token (BTCBULL) – a low-cost, meme-powered token designed to help holders benefit from BTC’s rise through real incentives. At just $0.002475, BTCBULL ties token distribution and burns to Bitcoin price milestones.
Every time BTC hits a pre-set price ($150K, $200K, $250K), BTCBULL airdrops Bitcoin to holders and burns part of its own supply. Meanwhile, stakers can earn up to 83% APY while they wait. The project has already raised nearly $5 million and has passed security audits from both Coinsult and SolidProof.
JOIN BTCBULL PRESALE BEFORE IT ENDS
BTCBULL is fast gaining traction with retail users and analysts alike. Its community is growing rapidly and its three-pronged model – airdrops, burns and staking – is winning attention as a meme coin that actually rewards its backers.
MIND of Pepe (MIND) – $0.003736
The AI token narrative is gathering pace again and MIND of Pepe is building a uniquely positioned offering within it. This ERC-20 token, priced at $0.0037365, gives holders access to an autonomous AI agent capable of scanning market sentiment, social media trends and blockchain activity in real time.
The agent’s two key features – a live dashboard and token-gated terminal – are designed to help users identify profitable trades early. MIND holders can also stake their tokens at a current APY of 273%, while a reserved liquidity pool and controlled supply reduce volatility.
ACCESS THE MIND AI AGENT BEFORE THE NEXT PRICE TIER
Already listed on Best Wallet’s “Upcoming Tokens” hub, the project is being positioned as more than a memecoin – it’s an AI-powered market assistant that evolves with the cycle.
Best Wallet Token (BEST) – $0.02485
Rounding out the list is Best Wallet Token ($BEST), which sits at the upper end of our pricing scale but offers unmatched ecosystem utility. As the native token for the Best Wallet app, $BEST supports everything from staking to cross-chain swaps to early access to presales.
The app is live and rated 4.5 stars across mobile platforms. It supports over 60 blockchains, features an integrated DEX and staking aggregator and includes “Upcoming Tokens” – a tool that helped users discover pre-launch gems like Pepe Unchained and Catslap.
JOIN THE BEST WALLET PRESALE – UNLOCK THE FUTURE OF CRYPTO ACCESS
With $11.8 million raised and analyst predictions of a 100x breakout following exchange listing, $BEST is rapidly becoming the go-to token for retail users looking to simplify and supercharge their crypto experience.
