As Bitcoin and large-cap cryptocurrencies consolidate after recent highs, investor focus is shifting toward low-cap altcoins — smaller projects showing strong community traction and real use-case potential. Among them, TOSHI, built on Base, is emerging as one of the standout “hidden gems” for October 2025.
Rising Momentum on Base Network
The Base ecosystem, backed by Coinbase, has quickly become a hub for experimental DeFi, meme, and social tokens. Within it, TOSHI — named in homage to Bitcoin’s creator Satoshi Nakamoto — is gaining traction thanks to its grassroots marketing, active developer base, and integration with Base-native dApps.
Market watchers point out that low-cap projects on Base often benefit from early exposure and community-driven growth, similar to the early days of meme coins on Solana.
“Base is turning into a breeding ground for next-generation low-cap tokens,” said one analyst. “TOSHI and other micro-cap assets could deliver high upside if liquidity and user adoption continue to rise.”
Low-Cap Gem Trend
The broader market narrative around “low-cap gems” — tokens with modest market capitalization but strong fundamentals — is gaining momentum. Investors are hunting for undervalued projects ahead of potential listings on larger exchanges.
Other names frequently mentioned in this segment include Turbo (TURBO), Aerodrome (AERO), and SEI, each showing renewed trading activity and social media buzz as retail participation increases.
With Bitcoin’s dominance stabilizing, analysts expect capital rotation into altcoins with smaller valuations. If the current trend continues, October could mark the start of a new speculative wave across emerging ecosystems like Base.
