Are smaller tokens worth watching when major coins dominate the spotlight?

SUI is trending after it integrated with several new DeFi platforms this week. It’s showing some serious promise as a rising Layer 1.

Everyone’s talking about SUI right now and fair enough, it’s been pumping hard and landing key partnerships. But while scrolling through BingX, I noticed they just listed BARD/USDT for perpetual futures.

Now, I know BARD isn't making front-page news, but that’s exactly what makes it worth paying attention to. When exchanges list new pairs, it often signals early traction or some behind the scenes momentum.

Most people wait until a token pumps before they notice it but by then, the easy move is over. Catching a new listing right when it drops can give you that edge, or at least time to research before the crowd shows up.

BARD might be small now, but so were many of the big names at one point. If you’re serious about staying ahead in crypto, don’t just follow trends scan the radar for what’s next.

I’d love to know how others approach this. Do you prefer researching newly listed tokens right away, or do you wait to see how they perform before diving in?
