The spotlight often shines on high-priced tokens, but affordable cryptos are showing equal promise. Several digital assets under one dollar are attracting strong attention from investors, analysts, and institutions. With growing adoption and key partnerships, these tokens are shaping up as serious contenders in the next phase of growth. Today, we look at three names that stand out— CRO, ONDO, and PYTH. Each has momentum and a unique story fueling interest.
Cronos (CRO)
Cronos has drawn attention with both market growth and strategic moves. On September 3, CRO traded at $0.2634, giving it a market capitalization of more than $8 billion. Cronos Chain, built by Crypto.com, supports decentralized applications, Web3 technologies, and NFTs. This positions CRO as a strong utility token within a growing ecosystem.One of the biggest developments involves Trump Media Group announcing a $6.42 billion strategy tied to CRO. This decision highlights how corporate partnerships can boost confidence in an altcoin. Reports also suggest that CRO will serve as the platform token for Truth Social. These moves strengthen the case for CRO as more than just an exchange-linked asset.
Ondo Finance (ONDO)
Ondo Finance stands slightly higher in price compared to other cryptos on this list. ONDO was trading at $0.9709 on September 3, with a market cap above $3.66 billion. Experts view Ondo as a project bridging the gap between traditional finance and blockchain innovation. This role gives the token a unique place in the industry. The project has also launched Ondo Global Markets. By connecting traditional markets with blockchain infrastructure, Ondo is positioning itself as a leader in real-world asset integration. This expansion underlines the project’s ambition and growth potential, making ONDO a compelling option for long-term believers in blockchain finance.
Pyth Network (PYTH)
Pyth Network has become one of the most exciting projects under one dollar. On September 3, PYTH traded at $0.157 with a market cap over $900 million. A major driver of attention came from the U.S. Department of Commerce. The agency announced a partnership with Pyth to publish official U.S. economic data, including GDP, directly on the blockchain.This partnership signals government recognition of Pyth’s potential. Already, the network connects with more than 100 blockchains and supports over 600 applications. The Department of Commerce also selected Pyth to verify and distribute economic data on-chain. This type of validation from public institutions increases credibility and broadens investor confidence.
CRO benefits from corporate partnerships and an expanding blockchain ecosystem. ONDO bridges traditional finance with blockchain, offering access to global assets. PYTH delivers real-time economic data through trusted partnerships and deep integrations.
