Instant crypto swap exchanges have become quite popular in recent years. After all, crypto investors have always been looking for exchange platforms that offer low fees, low slippage, and instant swaps between a huge variety of crypto assets. Here is why these exchanges are growing very fast:

• Crypto swap exchanges are fully decentralised and as such, they are non-custodial and permissionless, giving you extra security.

• As decentralised exchanges address liquidity challenges in the future, instant swap exchanges will benefit the most.

• The exchanges offer a secure more private way to exchange crypto from peer-to-peer, something most investors prefer.

Uniswap (UNI) is by far one of the most popular crypto swap exchanges. But the following 2, which happen to be relatively unknown, are very good investments right now.

BakerySwap (BAKE)

BakerySwap (BAKE) is a De-Fi platform that provides crypto swaps. Like Uniswap (UNI), BakerySwap uses an automated market maker protocol to enhance liquidity and keep fees low. The project is built on the Binance Smart Chain and strives to offer an all-in-one De-Fi ecosystem for its clients.

At the time of reporting, BAKE, its native platform token, was selling for $1.15. The token also has a market cap of around $220 million. This means that the potential to grow even further is there, especially when you consider that BakerySwap (BAKE) was launched in 2020.

LuaSwap (LUA)

LuaSwap (LUA) is a multichain automated market maker protocol that allows for instant crypto swaps within its DeFi ecosystem. The platform has also developed innovative features to bridge liquidity across various chains, giving users more flexibility and convivence when they trade. 

Its native governance token is called LUA, and at the time of writing, it was selling at $0.06285 with a market cap of around $8.5 million. LUA is also not yet available in many major exchanges. Future growth potential is therefore quite good.

The crypto market today has a lot of assets to buy. Although most people are often familiar with the popular large-cap coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum and others, there are still a few newer, under-the-radar altcoins with significant potential. Here is why it is a good idea to buy under-the-radar coins:

• First, under radar altcoins have low market caps and as such, they have significant upside potential.

• In most cases, most altcoins gain in value as they become more mainstream so buying them early is crucial.

• Also, these coins will increase in value once they become available in major exchanges.

Well, here are our main picks of the best under the radar altcoins that you can purchase and hold today:

Fantom (FTM)

Fantom (FTM) is not necessarily what you would call a new project or under the radar per se. If you are a crypto investor, chances are you have come across this token. But for all its potential, Fantom doesn’t really get the attention it deserves.

Data Source: Tradingview.com 

In fact, this is a token that could easily rank among the top ten cryptos by market cap in the near future. But it rarely gets the kind of coverage you’d associate with such a potentially high-growth coin. At the time of writing, Fantom (FTM) was selling at $2.28 with a market cap of around $5.7 billion.

The Ocean Protocol (OCEAN)

The Ocean Protocol (OCEAN) is a decentralised platform that allows you to sell your data to third parties. Big data is big business these days but sadly, it is controlled by a few Silicon Valley tech firms.

But Ocean Protocol (OCEAN) is trying to change that, and there is a lot of potentials when you consider the market cap is around $550 million. OCEAN could in fact surge in 2022, so keep an eye on that.

The crypto market is highly volatile. Prices shift very fast and as such, these assets are quite ideal for short-term speculative trades. We must however warn you that short-term plays in crypto are very risky. Nonetheless, here is why this can actually work:

• First, due to the volatility, the price action is so dynamic, giving you chances to enter and exit trades

• Also, fees in crypto are relatively lower, so you don’t spend too much for active short-term trading.

• There are also ways to manage your ultimate risks, including Stop loss and Take profit orders.

With this in mind, the following are two of the best cryptos to buy for short term speculative trading:

Shiba Inu (SHIB)

Shiba Inu (SHIB) is a meme token. This basically means that it’s mostly a speculative asset that has very little intrinsic value. SHIB has been one of the best performing coins in 2021. Even though it is still way off its yearly highs, those who invested in SHIB a year ago are still very profitable.

Like all meme coins, SHIB is prone to wild price swings. For this reason, it’s not the kind of asset you want to be holding for a long time. But these wild price swings can also bring good returns if they swing in your favour.

Dogelon Mars (ELON)

Dogelon Mars (ELON) is also another speculative meme coin. Although ELON has not exploded the way Shiba Inu did, it still shares the same characteristics. As a result, it’s prone to wild volatility and short-term price swings that can make you decent money if you predict them correctly. 

The good thing about ELON is that it has more upside for growth compared to SHIB. But despite this, both these tokens are highly risky, and you should only invest in them if you are aware and comfortable with that risk.

2021 has largely been the year of crypto. The industry has generally reported outstanding growth. But despite this, some projects or coins have just blown everyone else out of the water. Here are some highlights:

• Overal returns in the cryptocurrency have outpaced other asset classes by huge margins  

• Although it may seem like it’s too late to buy into these high growth coins, it’s really not. 

• More growth could still come from the crypto space in 2022 and beyond. 

Well, here are our picks of coins that have performed exemplary this year but still offer enough upside for more growth.

Solana (SOL)

Solana (SOL) has often been dubbed the Ethereum killer. The project is designed to give developers an alternative to Ethereum and has been growing. New projects are launching on Solana, and the network is promising users low fees, better speeds, and overall blockchain efficiency. 

Data source: Tradingview.com 

Solana (SOL) has been the standout performer in 2021, gaining over 12000%. But there is so much to come from this token in the coming years. In fact, some experts believe that SOL will hit $1000 by 2027. At the time of writing, the coin was selling at $175.

Cardano (ADA)

Cardano (ADA) has also been one of the main performers of the year. The coin right now ranks among the top ten cryptos in the world by market cap. At the time of writing, it was trading at around $1.37. ADA has actually lost momentum as we head towards the end of the year. 

After an explosive start into 2021, the coin was well on course towards gains of over 1500%. But the crypto market correction that we saw in November and December has eaten into those gains. As a result, ADA will return around 675%. It’s still a decent return, but more so, it means that the coin could still surge further in the future.

Interest in Layer 1 blockchain projects has been rising by the day, and it’s not hard to see why. These projects are going to be huge in the future, but here are some highlights:

• Layer 1 chains address the scalability problems of blockchain technology.

• They also give users better fees, speeds, and efficiency. 

• Although we have seen an uptick in new Layer-1 blockchain projects, there are a few that have truly stood out. 

Here are our top three picks of the best Layer-1 blockchain projects to buy at the start of 2022.

Polygon (MATIC)

Previously known as the Matic Network, Polygon (MATIC) is a structured Ethereum scaling project designed to bring efficient, low-cost, and fast blockchain infrastructure. 

Data Source: Tradingview.com 

At the time of writing, its native token MATIC was selling at $2.62. Polygon (MATIC) is up 13000% this year, and more could still come from the coin in 2022 as investor sentiment towards Layer-1 blockchains grows.

Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum (ETH) is the king of Layer -1 blockchains. Yes, the platform has seen stiff competition from other newer options, but it still remains a solid investment simply because of its vast infrastructure. 

Over 4000 projects have launched on the Ethereum network, and besides, ETH is the second largest crypto after Bitcoin. It’s therefore worth it, and at the time of writing, ETH was trading at around $3794. Although it’s a bit lower from its 2021 highs, ETH is still up 405% for the year.

Solana (SOL)

Solana (SOL) is perhaps one of the most promising alternatives to Ethereum. The network is promising better speeds, low costs, and cross-chain interoperability. So, far it has earned a lot of respect and growing support in the crypto space.

Solana is also seeing an uptick in the number of projects launching on the network. This year alone, its native token SOL has grown by a whopping 12000%. At the time of writing, the coin was trading at $176.
