Beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum: Top Cryptocurrencies Expected to See Rapid Growth This Year
Bitcoin and Ethereum are the largest cryptocurrencies in the world. They are considered the blue chip cryptos, although they have seen their share of ups and downs. New investors often limit their portfolios to BTC and ETH to keep things simple.
But the crypto market is evolving rapidly. More and more projects are emerging with market-relevant utilities and interesting stories. If these projects start as planned, they could earn more than BTC and ETH. Thanks to their low initial market capitalization, they have greater margins of return.

1. PlayDoge (PLAY) – A new twist on the 90s Tamagotchi craze
PlayDoge (PLAY) tops this list. While meme coins are hardly considered robust cryptocurrencies, PlayDoge ($PLAY) is one of the rare exceptions. As the name suggests, it is a meme coin and a play-to-win coin. It combines the two to power one of the most promising cryptocurrencies this year
PlayDoge takes a Tamagotchi style and puts a new spin on the ’90s craze with meme coin packaging. The platform offers a wide range of min 2D games in its 8-bit universe, where players can adopt, feed and interact with their virtual pet dogs. Players who successfully complete the game levels and climb the leaderboards can earn attractive rewards in the form of $PLAY tokens.
Less than two weeks after going live, PlayDoge is closing in on the $3 million milestone. The buying frenzy is driven by its engaging gameplay that taps into 90s nostalgia. PlayDoge offers players an exciting way to earn a side income. But what about those who are not interested in games? So investing is the way to go. To further motivate investors (long-term investors in particular), PlayDoge has implemented a convincing staking system with attractive APYs.
The project also appears technically robust. To ensure minimal gas fees and smooth transactions, PlayDoge builds its kennel on the BNB Smart Chain. Being a play-to-earn project with viral potential, PlayDoge could replicate the success of projects like Floki Inu. Propelled by the hype around play-to-win Valhalla, FLOKI has reached a staggering market capitalization of $2.5 billion over the years.

4. Base Dawgz (DAWGZ) – Base meme piece on the moon? Base Dawgz (DAWGZ) is a meme coin built on the Base blockchain. Even basic pieces are all the rage this season. So it’s no surprise that DAWGZ is trending. It is predicted to be the next core blockchain meme coin to explode.
Although the token has no utility, the speculative FOMO around the meme coin justifies its growth potential. Core blockchain is one of the fastest growing crypto hubs in 2024.
Brett (BRETT) and Degen are good examples of Base’s frenzy in the meme coin market. Blockchain provides a solid basis for sensational projects.
Another element that adds to the craze for Base Dawgz is its unique mascot – an animated Shiba Inu dog in a base jumping suit and glasses. On the technical side, DAWGZ has a multi-chain infrastructure. It allows investors to seamlessly transfer their tokens between networks like Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, and Avalanche. At the same time, the token exploits the craze for the base.
Base Dawgz also has a staking protocol to help investors grow their holdings, in addition to market value appreciation. The project launched a campaign to put Base in the spotlight. This share-to-earn campaign encourages investors to share Base Dawgz memes on social media to win attractive rewards. Other community rewards programs are in the works, although details have not yet been announced.
DAWGZ has no assigned team and the project has undergone a security audit by Solidproof, alleviating early investors’ concerns. The current presale opens the cheapest gateway to the meme coin. Investors can now grab $DAWGZ ahead of the first stock listings at low pre-sale prices.
