Latest Crypto Market News Today, September 19: What’s the Best Altcoin Crypto to Buy Now? Avantis, Linea, Astar, and STBL Dominate the Week

[Ben Graham]

Everyone’s asking the same thing: What’s the best crypto to buy now, especially with how wild this week has been? According to CoinGecko , a handful of altcoins are running laps around the majors. Avantis (AVNT) jumped 368%, trading at $1.03. Aster isn’t far behind with more than 500% climb, sitting at $0.64. STBL shocked the market with a 459% spike, and even Linea managed a respectable 16.9% gain.

In comparison, Bitcoin barely moved, and Ethereum’s just flat. In this kind of setup, the best crypto to buy now might not be the big names—it’s the ones showing both growth and on-chain activity.

Is Avantis the Best Crypto to Buy Now as Linea and Aster Gaining Ground?

Let’s talk numbers, $50 million in total value locked (TVL), according to DefiLlama, and $602 million in daily volume tracked by CoinGecko, which proves its activity. Avantis is building fast on Base, and last week’s launch of perpetual trading lit a fire under it.

CoinGlass shows rising open interest and solid funding rates. It is more convincing than, say, Solana’s minor TVL uptick. If you’re hunting for the best crypto to buy now, Avantis deserves to be at the top of the list.

Linea is also doing the work. TVL is steadily climbing, and its daily volume crossed $336 million. Airdrop rumors are bringing in wallets fast. CoinGlass shows positive funding, suggesting bulls are still in control. Aster, on the other hand, is moving fast with more than $400 million in volume. It’s impressive, and could be the best crypto to buy now.

STBL ran hot with 459% weekly gains and $325 million in volume. But high CoinGlass liquidation data says some traders got wrecked. That’s a red flag. BNB ▲0.29% climbed 9.7%, likely thanks to some big treasury moves. SOL ▼-1.12% pushed a decent volume of $8.8 billion, but price-wise, it does not match the altcoin surge.
