Top 3 Cryptos Under $1: Bitcoin Hyper, Maxi Doge and Midnight Ahead of January 2026

As the year approaches its close, Bitcoin is consolidating and retaining a dominant share of overall crypto market value while many smaller tokens lag in attention. In this environment, three sub-$1 projects are drawing interest: Bitcoin Hyper with a presale above $29.7 million and 39% APY staking, Maxi Doge with over $4.3 million raised and a 72% APY offer, and Midnight’s NIGHT token trading below $0.10. These altcoins position themselves around Bitcoin Layer 2 DeFi access, trader-focused meme coin utilities, and Cardano-linked privacy infrastructure heading into 2026.
