yeah, stay away from $XRP no good even before SEC investigations.
This is my list of low caps that I like, any of these are better than XRP:
$rsv + $rsr for money
$akt cloud computing
$vite dag protocol + interoperability
$theta + $pond content delivery CDN
$vx 1st dex on 3rd gen blockchain+trading fee dividends
$inj + $FTT derivatives
$rune omni trading
