We've identified 10 compelling crypto projects trading below the $300 million market cap mark—a segment often overlooked by mainstream investors but rife with growth potential.

The lineup includes established tokens like $MANA, which continues to shape the metaverse narrative, alongside emerging contenders: $ZK, $XPL, $A, $ZBCN, $STABLE, $MON, $WAL, $EIGEN, and $ICNT.

What makes this tier particularly interesting? These projects operate in the sweet spot between infrastructure innovation and market undervaluation. Whether they're tackling DeFi protocols, privacy solutions, or utility tokens, each brings distinct mechanics worth examining.

For traders hunting asymmetric opportunities, scanning projects in this range often reveals diamonds before institutional capital floods in. Of course, market cap alone shouldn't drive your thesis—fundamentals, tokenomics, and team execution matter just as much.

Small-cap potential coins are always the good ones that institutions haven't invested in yet; the key is to find them yourself.

Small caps below 300 million are indeed easily overlooked by institutions, but a few of the ones listed this time seem a bit questionable.

Small caps below 300M indeed tend to double, but honestly, 99% of them are likely to go to zero.

Small-cap snipers, coming back to this set of arguments... Is it true? Every time they say they've found diamonds, and then they turn around and dump the market.

Honestly, I've seen too many articles like this... Every time they say "hidden gem projects overlooked by the mainstream," and then they get cut off right after.

Small-cap coins are always high-risk, high-reward bets; what seems like mining is actually digging a pit.

Those small-cap coins are basically gambling, what about the fundamentals?

I've experienced all of this before; I heard this set of arguments back in 2017. Cough, but to be fair, the $300M valuation is indeed the riskiest track.
