TOP-5 cryptocurrencies to buy in November: selection by CZ, Buterin, and whales

The cryptocurrency market has entered a calm phase with a hint of another crash in the value of digital assets. Top analysts are confident that this is just the calm before the storm. While the main cryptocurrencies remain stagnant, some mid-cap coins are starting to show strength. Everyone is waiting for the "altcoin season," and it seems it could start at any moment.

Raul Pal from Global Macro Index notes that the altcoin market is heavily dependent on the overall liquidity in the US financial system. He expects a real "flood of liquidity" after the US government resumes full operations following the budget suspension. Fresh capital will flow into the markets, which is likely to push the value of crypto assets much higher. It is precisely those coins that are already showing strength that may become the main beneficiaries of this rally.
Successful investments are not always complex calculations. Often, it's just the ability to follow the whales and "smart money" that set the trends. We analyzed the market and selected 5 projects that are currently being backed either by major players or authoritative experts.
Aster (ASTER)

Co-founder of Bin..ce Changpeng "CZ" Zhao has finally revealed his cards. He made a significant investment in Aster (ASTER) – a new viral DEX coin and a main competitor to Hyperliquid. In his post on X, he showed a screenshot with a position of over 2 million ASTER worth more than $1.91 million. Interestingly, this is only the third crypto asset that CZ has publicly stated ownership of during his entire career. It is known that his portfolio only contains Bitcoin and BNB. CZ also hinted that this is not a short-term speculation, but a long-term investment.
On this news, the price of ASTER soared by nearly 22%, reaching $1.28. A weekly close above the resistance at $1.20 has every chance of becoming an excellent signal for those who have not yet entered the market. According to experts, with such support, Aster is capable of surpassing even Hyperliquid. Considering that the current market capitalization of ASTER exceeds $2 billion, while the peak market capitalization of HYPE reached $20 billion, buying ASTER today could potentially yield a tenfold profit.
Maxi Doge (MAXI)
Whales' attention is currently focused on Maxi Doge. It is probably the most sought-after token in the low-cap market. Not long ago, one of the addresses of a large investor acquired MAXI for $650 000 in two consecutive transactions of ($325K and $324K). Thanks to these purchases, the presale of Maxi Doge has already attracted nearly $4 million.

The project, like all successful meme coins, primarily evokes a smile due to the image of a muscular Shiba Inu with bloodshot eyes and a can of Red Bull, ready to burst into the charts. Maxi Doge bets on the image for high-energy traders who live by the principle of "no minute of sleep, life is a bet." At the same time, the project has a strong fundamental basis in the form of staking rewards, verified smart contracts, and decentralized tokenomics. Many early investors see it as an opportunity to earn "x's," and some influencers call it the next 100x coin.

Dash (DASH)

The "Season of Private Coins" is in full swing. Following Zcash, one of the main protagonists in the market has become Dash (DASH). Over the past week, its price has shown the highest growth among the top 100 cryptocurrencies on CoinMarketCap. At its peak, there was an increase of nearly 80%. Moreover, the coin is still trading more than 95% below its all-time high of $1 642. This situation makes it one of the most undervalued altcoins in the market.

Renowned analysts believe in a bullish scenario for the coin. For example, trader BRUH is confident that a breakthrough of the key level at $100 will pave the way for DASH to a new ATH. In his opinion, at the very least, it will be a mark around $1 000. Even more conservative experts, such as Tactical Investing, expect a rally to $250 in the medium term.
zkSync (ZK)

L2 token for Ethereum, zkSync (ZK), is currently in the spotlight thanks to the support of well-known influencers in the crypto space. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin spoke positively about the project and highlighted its "integrity" as its main achievement.
The architecture of zkSync is built on zero-knowledge disclosure technology. It provides protection against hacks by tying all transactions to the base layer of Ethereum. Such a structure does not require intermediaries and makes the system mathematically secure.

Currently, ZK is trading 82% below its all-time high. Analyst Solberg Invest notes that the token has broken out of a descending wedge, with medium-term targets set at $0.10, $0.13, and $0.16.
Chainlink (LINK)

Completing our list is Chainlink (LINK). It is one of the most sought-after altcoins on the market. According to Lookonchain data as of October 27, "smart money" wallets have purchased LINK worth over $188 million.
Moreover, Chainlink has become one of the most fundamentally strong investments for many market participants due to its widely used oracle technology and partnerships with giants like SWIFT and ANZ. Recently, LINK co-founder Sergey Nazarov was even invited to the Federal Reserve's conference on payment innovations. Such a move may indicate a high level of recognition for the project.

The well-known trader Ali Martinez claims that the mark of $15 could be an excellent entry point before the coin's value makes a rapid leap to $100, which suggests nearly fivefold profits.
