Top 5 Cryptocurrencies to Buy in November: Choices of CZ, Buterin, and Whales

The cryptocurrency market has entered a period of calm, with hints of a potential decline in digital asset values. Leading analysts believe this is just a lull before the storm. While top cryptocurrencies remain stagnant, some mid-cap coins are beginning to show strength. Everyone is waiting for the "altcoin season," which could start at any moment.

Raoul Pal from Global Macro Index notes that the altcoin market heavily depends on overall liquidity within the U.S. financial system. He expects a significant "liquidity flood" to occur once the U.S. government resumes full operations after the budget shutdown. Fresh capital will flow into the market, likely driving cryptocurrency prices much higher. The coins demonstrating strength now could become the main beneficiaries of this rally.

Successful investing isn’t always about complex calculations. Often, it’s about tracking whales and "smart money"—those who set the trends. We’ve analyzed the market and selected five projects that major investors or reputable experts are currently betting on.

Aster (ASTER)

Binance CEO Changpeng "CZ" Zhao has finally revealed his investment. He made a significant stake in Aster (ASTER), a new decentralized exchange (DEX) project and a major competitor to Hyperliquid. In a post on X, he shared a screenshot showing a holding of over 2 million ASTER tokens valued at more than $1.91 million. Interestingly, this is only the third cryptocurrency asset CZ has publicly disclosed owning, alongside Bitcoin and BNB. CZ also indicated that this isn’t a short-term speculative trade but a long-term investment.

Following this news, ASTER’s price surged nearly 22%, reaching $1.28. Closing the week above the resistance level of $1.20 could be a great signal for those who missed the initial entry. Experts believe that with such support, Aster could surpass Hyperliquid. Given that ASTER’s current market cap exceeds $0.5 billion, while HYPE’s peak market cap was around $1 billion, buying ASTER today could yield tenfold returns.

Maxi Doge $2 MAXI$20

Major investors are now focusing on Maxi Doge. This might be the most requested low-cap token on the market right now. Recently, one large investor’s address purchased MAXI with $100,000 through two consecutive transactions totaling $324K. These transactions helped the Maxi Doge presale attract nearly $1 million.

Like many successful meme coins, Maxi Doge initially excites with its image—a muscular Shiba Inu with red eyes and a Red Bull can, ready to jump into the rankings. The project bets on a lively, energetic image appealing to traders who live by the mantra "no moments of rest, life is a constant gamble." It also boasts a solid foundation with staking rewards, audited smart contracts, and decentralized tokenomics. Many early investors see it as an opportunity to multiply their gains, with some influencers calling it the next 100x coin.

Dash (DASH)

The "privacy coin season" is at its peak. After Zcash, Dash $650 DASH( has been one of the main players. Over the past week, its value showed the largest growth among the top 100 cryptocurrencies on CoinMarketCap, with a peak increase of nearly 80%. Despite this, it still trades over 95% below its all-time high of $642. This undervaluation makes it one of the most overlooked altcoins on the market.

Noted analysts are bullish on a potential rally for Dash. For example, trader BRUH believes that breaking through the key resistance at $0.50 could pave the way for DASH to reach new all-time highs, potentially around $1.00. Even more conservative experts, like Tactical Investing, forecast a mid-term increase to around $0.80.

zkSync $325K ZK)

The Layer 2 solution for Ethereum, zkSync $4 ZK(, is gaining attention thanks to endorsements from prominent figures in the crypto space. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has spoken positively about the project, highlighting its "immunity to manipulation" as a key achievement.

Built on zero-knowledge technology, zkSync ensures security against hacks by linking all transactions to Ethereum’s base layer. Its architecture requires no intermediaries and is secured mathematically.

Currently, ZK is trading over 82% below its all-time high. Analyst Solberg Invest notes that the token has broken out of a falling wedge pattern, with medium-term targets at $0.10, $0.13, and $0.16.

Chainlink )LINK(

Rounding out our list is Chainlink )LINK$1 , one of the most sought-after altcoins. According to data from Lookonchain on October 27, "smart money" wallets purchased LINK worth over $50 million.

Additionally, Chainlink has become one of the most robust investments for many market participants, thanks to its widespread oracle technology and partnerships with organizations like SWIFT and ANZ. Recently, LINK co-founder Sergey Nazarov was invited to a Federal Reserve conference on payment innovation. This move indicates high recognition of the project’s potential.

Renowned trader Ali Martinez suggests that LINK could be an excellent entry point before its price skyrockets to $100, offering nearly five times potential profit.
