The trio of Aave (AAVE), Pepe (PEPE), and Uniswap (UNI) were part of the top cryptocurrencies bought on exchanges on November 9. This data was disclosed by hitesh.eth, a crypto research specialist on X (formerly Twitter). According to hitesh.eth, PEPE had a net flow of $4.74 million.

Image
Although many assets in the cryptocurrency market have started to slow down their previous gains, the downturn could represent a second chance for those investors who have been eyeing some of them but, for any reason, missed the opportunity to purchase at a low price , including XRP.

Another chance to buy Having said that, according to the expert crypto trader, if this does, indeed, occur, it would not necessarily be a bad thing for the asset in the long run but simply represent “another time to be a buyer” of the fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization for those who failed to purchase it at a lower price .
