A 3D golden Bitcoin token coin cracked down the center on a dark background with sharp downward-trending red market chart lines, surrounded by floating altcoin logos like Ethereum and Solana.

A crypto analyst remains highly bullish on several altcoins despite waiting patiently for better entry points before buying. According to the analyst, projects like Monad and Canton are among the strongest long-term plays if Bitcoin revisits lower support zones near the 200-week moving average.

Monad (MON) Tops the Buy List

One of the main projects on his radar is Monad, a heavily backed Layer-1 blockchain currently sitting near a $310 million market cap.

The analyst noted that Monad’s chart structure looks surprisingly healthy compared to many VC-backed Layer-1 launches that often collapse after launch. He compared it to projects like ICP, which saw huge post-launch crashes, while saying Monad’s price action has remained relatively organic despite launching near the end of the bull cycle.

He also highlighted Monad’s strong financial backing, with the project raising roughly $431 million, even slightly more than Sui raised before its major breakout cycle.

Strong Layer-1 narrative
Raised over $431 million
Monthly token unlocks remain low until late 2026
Potentially undervalued compared to Sui’s previous cycle performance
Watching for buys near range lows or if Bitcoin revisits the low-$60K region

The Monad price today stands near $0.028240 with a 24-hour trading volume of roughly $130.8 million. The token is also up around 3.77% over the past 24 hours.

Canton (CANTO) Also Drawing Attention

The second project he wants to stack is the Canton Network.

According to him, Canton has one of the strongest institutional backing lists in crypto right now, including support tied to Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Nasdaq Ventures, Samsung Ventures, Binance Labs, and S&P Global.

The analyst says Canton could become a major tokenization play for the next cycle, particularly as Wall Street continues pushing blockchain-based financial infrastructure.

Raised around $447 million
Focused on tokenized real-world assets
Includes privacy-focused blockchain features
Backed by major institutional firms
Seen as a stronger long-term tokenization play than Ondo

The Canton price today stands near $0.154547 with a 24-hour trading volume of roughly $30.4 million. The token is also up around 1.10% over the past 24 hours.
