Looking for the best altcoins to buy amid the ongoing Iran-US war volatility? This article highlights some of the top coins to buy for big gains as the war goes on and as many tokens become bargains.

Summary
  • Hyperliquid is a top altcoin to buy because of its strong fundamentals.
  • Pi Network will be listed on Kraken this Friday.
  • Chainlink is the biggest oracle network in the crypto industry.

Hyperliquid 

Hyperliquid (HYPE) has become one of the top beneficiaries of the ongoing war in Iran because of its perpetual oil futures product. This product has made it possible for people to trade crude oil during the weekend when most of the developments are happening. 

Data shows that the volume in Hyperliquid has jumped this month. According to DeFi Llama, the network has processed perpetual futures contracts worth over $178 billion in the last 30 days. That amount is higher than that of Aster, Lighter, and TradeXYZ, combined. 

The benefit of all this is that Hyperliquid’s fees have continued rising, which, in turn, has led to more token burns and buybacks.

Technicals suggest that the HYPE price has more upside to go. It has already moved above the upper side of the falling wedge pattern. It also jumped above the 50-day and 100-day moving averages, pointing to more gains.

Pi Network

Pi Network (PI) is another top crypto to buy today. It has already jumped by over 80% from its lowest point this year and has numerous catalysts that may drive it higher in the coming weeks.

Kraken has already confirmed that it will list it on Friday. This listing is important as it will make it available in the United States for the first time. More exchanges may also decide to list it as it has become a top 50 coin. 

The coin may continue rising because of the upcoming Pi Day event on Saturday and the ongoing network upgrades. Also, the developers are working on launching a KYC-as-a-Service solution. It is also becoming a top player in the artificial intelligence industry through its partnership with OpenMind.

Chainlink 

Chainlink (LINK) is a top altcoin to buy for long-term gains because of it substantial market share in the oracle industry. It has a total value secured of over $50 billion, much higher than other oracles like RedStone and Pyth.

Chainlink is also a major player in the fast-growing real-world asset tokenization industry. It has large partnerships with companies like JPMorgan, Swift, ANZ Bank, and DTCC.

The Grayscale and Bitwise Chainlink ETFs have also accumulated $93 milion in inflows despite the ongoing crypto bear market. 

There are other quality altcoins worth buying that will do well once a bull market starts. Some of the other notable ones are Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Internet Computer.
