Crypto market sentiment is rising this week as fears about the United States-China trade war soften.Chinese state media reported, “The U.S. has proactively reached out to China through multiple channels, hoping to hold discussions on the tariff issue.”Crypto prices gained on the news break, with Bitcoin reclaiming $97K for the first time since February, and the total crypto market cap rising 1.5% today.Trade war fears were the biggest headwind that the crypto market faced. So with those fears melting away, the market appears set for a bullish performance in the coming weeks. With that in mind, what are the best cryptos to buy now?BTC Bull TokenBTC Bull Token is a Bitcoin-themed meme coin on the Ethereum blockchain. It has a vibrant X account with over 9K followers and eye-catching artwork. But that’s not all the project is about:What makes this project unique is that it’s the first cryptocurrency to pay its holders real Bitcoin rewards.It will airdrop $BTC and $BTCBULL tokens at key milestones on Bitcoin’s journey to $1 million, starting when it hits $100K.Airdrops will continue at every $50K milestone after that. There will also be $BTCBULL burn events at $125K, and then with every $50K price increase that follows.Another thing that makes BTC Bull Token stand out is that it’s currently available in its presale phase. This allows investors to buy in on the ground floor, which could result in big gains. So far, the presale has raised $5.2 million.However, price increases will occur throughout the $BTCBULL presale, so potential investors should act quickly.Virtuals ProtocolVirtuals Protocol is an AI agent launchpad on the Base and Solana networks. It allows users to create AI agents with simple text-based prompts, removing the technicality out of deploying AI technology.Launching an agent costs 100 $VIRTUALS tokens, which creates a tangible demand stream and could help provide lasting growth potential.The project also recently released a new feature called Genesis Launches, which rewards creators and also ensures fair and decentralized token distribution.Virtuals Protocol is the best-performing top 100 crypto this week, having booked a whopping 100% gain.With momentum on its side, real token utility, and a position inside a trending crypto sector, Virtuals Protocol ticks all the boxes of a project that could perform well in the months ahead.StoryDespite the advancements of the AI sector, it continues to face one critical issue: intellectual property (IP) rights. AI is trained on data that’s often publicly available. However, that doesn’t mean it’s available to commercial reuse – which is how generative AI uses it.This creates legal clashes, which can stunt the advancement of AI technology while simultaneously costing creators and artists a lot of money.Story is a layer 1 blockchain with a solution: it tokenizes IP rights and allows AI engineers to purchase them to train their models on.It has already partnered with K-pop bands and other artists, reflecting that it’s making progress in the real-world. At the same time, the $IP token is showing strength, having gained 45% since launching in February.With a use case tackling a real-world issue and strong price performance, Story could prove one of the best cryptos to buy this year.BonkBonk is the second-largest meme coin on Solana after OFFICIAL TRUMP. It kicked off the Solana meme coin season in late 2023, underlining just how important the project is.And even though it’s the oldest Solana meme coin, it remains highly relevant. Its most well-known proponent, “Bonk Guy,” has over 115K followers and continues to support the project on X.Most recently, he caused a rush within the Bonk ecosystem for a tool called LetsBONK, which is Bonk’s equivalent of Pump.fun.Bonk also has its own trading bot and several other utilities which help distinguish it from competitors like Dogwifhat.Bonk has a long track record, influencer backing, and strong utility – all the tools to make big gains in the coming months.The post Best Crypto to Buy as Bitcoin Breaks $97K: Next Coins to Explode appeared first on CoinCentral.
