After a harsh month in which many cryptos lost value, December is ending on a more positive note. Selling has stopped, and Bitcoin and altcoins have found level ground.
Looking ahead, January is expected to bring significant gains. With that in mind, this article explores the five best cryptos to buy now.
Wall Street Pepe
Wall Street Pepe is a viral meme coin that gives its community real value. Behind its flamboyant Pepe coin-cross-Jordan Belfort memetics, Wall Street Pepe is building an ecosystem geared around institutional-grade insights.
Trading signals, a trading insider group, meme coin picks, trading and staking rewards are all available. All you have to do is hold $WEPE for unrestricted access. You don’t get that with most other meme coins.

Unsurprisingly, the project is generating massive momentum. It just hit a $38 million milestone in its presale, only one month after launching. This is a giant leap toward Wall Street Pepe’s emergence onto the world stage, especially given the project has only just launched.
Investors can buy $WEPE at presale for $0.0003661, but this price will rise throughout the ICO. The next increase will occur later today.

Solaxy
Solaxy is the first layer 2 blockchain of Solana, tackling the congestion issue caused by the network housing over 4 million users daily.
Solana is a hotbed for meme coin and AI innovation, but scalability solutions are crucial for it to keep growing. An average of 40% of non-vote transactions fail on the network, and fees and transaction processing times are higher than they could be.
By bundling transactions and processing them on a layer 2 blockchain, Solaxy is cheaper, faster, and more reliable.

This allows new applications to emerge and lets Solana continue its reign as crypto’s leading innovator.
The Solaxy token is also available to buy on the Ethereum network, allowing Ethereum users to diversify and gain exposure to a critical piece of Solana infrastructure.
Solaxy has raised $7.2 million so far and is undergoing a presale.
Best Wallet Token
Best Wallet is a next-generation Web3 wallet that allows users to do everything in one app. The project recently launched its native cryptocurrency, Best Wallet token, via a presale.
Best Wallet’s diverse features range from a presale aggregator to a built-in derivatives exchange. There is even a Best Wallet debit card, allowing users to spend their crypto anywhere MasterCard is accepted.
Best Wallet offers a user experience far beyond that of any other non-custodial wallet. As such, it’s the fastest-growing Web3 wallet, with a 50% month-on-month user growth rate.

However, to get the most out of Best Wallet, users should hold the $BEST token. This provides higher staking yields, governance rights, trading fee discounts, and access to promotions on partner projects.
As Best Wallet’s user base grows, demand for $BEST will also grow, which could skyrocket its price.
The presale has raised $6.1 million so far.

Pepe
Pepe coin needs no introduction. It’s the premier meme coin of this market cycle, peaking at a staggering $10 billion market cap at the beginning of December.
But like most major cryptocurrencies, its performance since then has been underwhelming. Pepe is down 6.4% in the past month and a whopping 30% since its 9 December all-time high (ATH).
However, things seem to be turning around for the viral frog-themed meme coin. It’s one of crypto’s top gainers today, pumping 6.2%. As mentioned, the total crypto market cap sits at break even in the past 24 hours.

Pepe is showing real strength as the market finds a floor. This indicates it could be poised for another epic run as prices recover in January.
It’s currently trading at $0.00001959, with an $8.2 billion market cap and a $3.1 billion 24-hour trading volume.
Solana
Another high-performer in 2024 has been Solana. Like Pepe, Solana has also shown strength against other major cryptocurrencies recently.
One of Solana’s major benefits this month is that it has evolved from a blockchain mostly used for meme coin trading into a hotbed for AI innovation. Projects like ai16z, Zerebro, and Griffain are all Solana-based AI infrastructure projects, laying the foundations for an extensive AI ecosystem.
The agents are coming.

And with Solaxy building an innovative scaling solution, everything is in place for SOL to thrive in January 2025 and beyond.
Currently, SOL is trading at $194, up 1.8% in the past week. This makes it the second-best-performing top 15 cryptocurrency this week, only second to BNB.
SOL holds a $93 billion market cap and a $3.4 billion 24-hour trading volume.
