One of the more attractive options for traders choosing crypto Metaverse coins is looking for low market cap projects. This article looks at our hand-picked top five underrated Metaverse coins that you probably haven’t heard of that have a market cap below $30 million, ordered by total valuation, lowest to highest.<br /><br />#5 CryptoPlanes (CPAN) – $6 million<br /><br />CryptoPlanes (CPAN)<br />0.344379 USD (-8.13%)<br />RANK<br /><br />1260MARKET CAP<br /><br />$5.37 M USDVOLUME<br /><br />$2.40 M USD<br />Powered by CoinMarketCap<br />Launched in October 2021, CryptoPlanes is an expansion of the CryptoCity Metaverse. CryptoPlanes is a blockchain-based game built on the Binance Smart Chain, enabling users to earn rewards with NFT planes.<br /><br />As a player in CryptoPlanes, your mission is to win fights that will net experience and token rewards. When players have enough experience, they can upgrade their plane levels, increasing their plane’s stats. Each plane has four states: Speed, Power, Air, and Fuel.<br /><br /><br /> <br />Various gameplay modes are available for players, including Training, PvC, and PVP modes. In addition, CryptoPlanes includes a Planes vs. Cars Battle mode enabling interaction between CryptoCars and CryptoPlanes in the CryptoCity ecosystem.<br /><br />CPAN is the native token to the CryptoPlanes platform and is used to purchase NFT Planes on their marketplace.<br /><br />CryptoPlanes is highly undervalued with a market cap of $6 million. Given the product that the team has to offer, CPAN could easily set a new all-time high.
