Crypto to Buy: IOTA IOTA is one of the top cryptos to buy this week for two main reasons. Fundamentally, the countdown to the Rebased upgrade is going on. This upgrade, which will be the largest in its history, will take place on Monday, May 5.
The Rebased upgrade will bring several important features to the IOTA network. For investors, there will be a chance to stake the coin and earn between 10% and 15%. Developers will now have a layer-1 network with over 50,000 transactions per second (TPS). Its smart contracts will leverage Move’s technology.
The Rebased upgrade means that IOTA is now set to compete with other popular layer-1 networks, such as Ethereum, Solana, and Polkadot. It will let developers build decentralized applications in industries like DeFi and gaming.
The risk is that IOTA could become another layer-1 chain with superior capabilities but no activity. Some of these ghost chains are Zilliqa and Mina.
IOTA is a top crypto to buy also because it has formed a falling wedge chart pattern on the daily chart. It has even moved above the upper side of this pattern. Therefore, there is a likelihood that the token will have a breakout ahead of the Rebased upgrade. #AirdropStepByStep

Monero started a rapid price gain on Sunday night, and market observers were left with more questions than answers at first. The price gain didn't match up with common catalysts such as a large number of new Monero holders, a meme coin push on social media, or Monero analysis in traditional large-scale media, such as TV channels and newspapers.
The mystery ended when the well-known crypto security account ZachXBT found some suspicious transactions on the Bitcoin and Monero blockchains. One account transferred 3,520 Bitcoins to another, moving about $330 million of crypto funds.
