Metaverse coins are all the hype right now, many of which continue to see incredible bullish momentum throughout this month. Each Metaverse project requires a blockchain platform to run on. There are several crypto Metaverse platforms available, and this article looks at the top 5 currently on the market, ordered by market cap, lowest to highest.
WAX, aka Worldwide Asset Exchange, is one of the best platforms on the market for Metaverse crypto projects. The whole blockchain is built with crypto gaming in mind and integrates exceptionally well with dApps and GameFi projects.
WAX features one of the most active NFT marketplaces in crypto called Atomic Hub, the leading marketplace that most WAX-based games use.
The WAX blockchain features one of the world’s most popular crypto games right now – Alien Worlds. With over 1.4 million users over the last 30 days, Alien Worlds is the second most popular dApp on the market, followed by PancakeSwap.
One cool feature about WAX is that users can stake their WAX tokens to receive CPU and RAM power to complete transactions instead of paying transaction fees.
At the time of writing, WAX is trading at $0.45, with a 24-hour trading volume of $33 million. With a market cap of only $853 million, WAX is a highly undervalued project right now.
You can purchase WAX on Binance, KuCoin, Bithumb, Huobi Global, Bittrex, Crypto.com, and more.
As the name implies, IoTeX is a scalable and privacy-centric blockchain infrastructure for the Internet of Things. IOTX is the native token to the IoTeX blockchain, which powers the network.
The IoTeX ecosystem includes dozens of exchanges, wallets, and other unique projects. One of my personal favorites is StarCrazy – a blockchain-based play-to-earn NFT game allowing users to earn GFT tokens.
IoTeX features the IoPay Web3.0 wallet available on Android and iOS devices. IoPay is the gateway to the IoTeX ecosystem that anyone can easily access.
At the time of writing, IoTeX is trading at $0.124, up over 5% in the past 24 hours. Its market cap is $1.1 billion with a 24-hour trading volume of $85 million.

Some of the more popular Metaverse projects on Polygon include Arc8 by GAMEE, Crazy Defense Heroes, and Idle Mystic.
Polygon makes a perfect solution for those Metaverse crypto projects initially launched on Ethereum before the gas fees increased astronomically.

Binance Smart Chain is one of the most popular Metaverse crypto blockchains on the market. Backed by one of the most reputable and popular exchanges in crypto, Binance Smart Chain offers low-cost and high-speed transactions.
BSC is a perfect alternative to Ethereum since the token standards and smart contract code is highly similar. Most of the recent tokens released on CoinMarketCap are all deployed on BSC, especially the Metaverse and meme coins.
Some of the most popular dApps on BSC include PancakeSwap, Kill Rich, Bomb Crypto, CryptoMines, and much more. PancakeSwap registered over 4 million users over the past 30 months, making it the most popular dApp in crypto.
Binance Smart Chain doesn’t have a BSC coin, the underlying cryptocurrency powering the blockchain is Binance Coin (BNB).
