Where to look for the next cryptocurrency to explode in 2021

You can determine the best cryptocurrency to buy in a variety of ways. You might choose blue-chip names like Bitcoin or cheap altcoins like Dogecoin. The price difference aside, you might decide to invest in DeFi tokens or meme coins. Another method to determine the best crypto to buy is looking at the supply. While some cryptos have a fixed maximum supply, others have an unlimited supply.

Next cryptocurrency to explode among DeFi tokens

DeFi tokens are those associated with projects that offer financial services in the blockchain environment. They’re usually used to facilitate transactions on the projects or to vote in major platform changes. Therefore, the more users these platforms attract, the more valuable the DeFi tokens can become.
