Yes, these are the 4 most low-risk cryptocurrencies that I can see in descending order

  1. ETH, because Ethereum is used twice as much as Bitcoin now and everything is running on the Ethereum blockchain, BAT, NEXO, the Compound Protocol, Maker etc.

    Ethereum is now the operating system of crypto.
  2. BNB, because Binance makes $480 million in profit every year
  3. Bitcoin, because Bitcoin is king. However, Bitcoin also has very, very high expectations and they are extremely slow in adapting to market changes. That can topple Bitcoin quickly.

    So, while Bitcoin is still in the number 1 position, there is not much keeping other cryptos from dethroning it. Ethereum especially has more fundamentals than needed to dethrone Bitcoin in the next year or two.
  4. VeChain, because VeChain is backed by the Chinese government, the first crypto to have accomplished that and then it’s directly the government of the biggest country in the world.

There are also other somewhat safe altcoins, e.g. BAT, NEXO, but the above 4 are probably the only ones that are too big to fail now.

However, especially ETH and BNB are currently extremely cheap despite their overwhelming fundamentals with ETH being at the very top. That’s also why ETH is currently in the Ember Fund with a 20% allocation.

P.S. If you want to buy crypto, eToro is also a very good platform with 10 million users already. It’s also the best alternative to Binance that I’ve found regarding user-friendliness, fees and support.
