Cardano Price Gains Momentum as DeFi and NFT Ecosystem Wakes Up

Published

on

Cardano price has been in a strong bullish trend in the past few weeks, making it one of the top-performing cryptocurrencies. ADA, its network token, has risen to a high of $0.39, which was the highest point since November 8. It has jumped by over 58% from the lowest level in 2022.

Cardano DeFi ecosystem rebound

Cardano price has been in a strong recovery as activity in its network do well. Data compiled by DeFi Llama shows that the total value locked (TVL) in Cardano’s DeFi ecosystem has been in a strong recovery as cryptocurrencies rebound. After falling below $60 million in 2022, the TVL has bounced back to about $102 million.

A closer look shows that most DeFi platforms are doing well. For example, MinSwap has seen its TVL jump by over 41% in the past 30 days. It has a market dominance of 31.4%. In the same period, Meld has seen its TVL soar to over$17.59 a million, making it the second-biggest DeFi platform in Cardano.

Other top players in the ecosystem are Indigo, WingRiders, MuesliSwap, and SundaeSwap have all seen their TVLs jump by double-digits, as shown in the chart below.

Cardano NFT ecosystem is recovering

ADA price has also risen as the volume of its NFT collections rise. Data compiled by CryptoSlam shows that the total sales in its ecosystem rose to more than $9 million in December. That was a remarkable comeback from the $7.9 million that were sold in December. It still remains substantially lower than its peak of over $61 million in January 2022.

There are several reasons for the strong Cardano comeback. The most important one is that analysts believe that the Federal Reserve will start easing monetary policy in the coming months since inflation is falling. This is evidence by the fact that stocks are rising while the US dollar index has fallen to the lowest pont in months. 

Another reason is that Cardano was extremely oversold as its coin crashed hard in 2022. As such, investors were buying the dip.

BNB Price Surges Past $300, Faces Crucial $339 Hurdle: What’s Next?

Published

on

By

BNB price has noted significant gains over the past few days, surging past the psychological resistance of $300. The native cryptocurrency of the Binance Exchange has surpassed Solana to regain its position as the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The digital currency has been rallying lately with a 7-day profit of more than 15%. Additionally, BNB has clocked a phenomenal gain of 38% in the month to date.

Binance Coin Outlook

BNB price has been on a strong bull run for the past week, breaking out of its consolidation. Even so, the asset has experienced a correction in its uptrend over the past 24 hours but remains above the crucial level of $300. BNB’s total market cap has decreased by 4% over the past day to $48 billion, while the total volume of the asset traded over the same period dipped by about 15%.

Over the past year, Binance Coin has had to cope with Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD)  on the back of the regulatory troubles of its underlying exchange. Earlier, the BNB price touched a low of $223.50, a few days after its former CEO, Changpeng Zhao, pleaded guilty to money laundering charges. However, the cryptocurrency has managed to rebound 46% in value since then.

The recent price rally has been associated with various positive developments in the Binance ecosystem, including the Introduction of the Isolated Margin Auto-Transfer Mode. This feature enables…

Solana Price Surges Beyond $100, Dethroning Ripple and BNB To Secure Fourth Place

Published

on

By

Solana price performance in recent times has been remarkable, surpassing Ripple and Binance Coin to become the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The SOL price breached the critical level of $100 for the first time since April 2022 over the weekend to imbue optimism among investors. However, the altcoin has corrected by 7%, suggesting that the market is overheated. At the time of writing, the ‘Ethereum killer’ was trading slightly lower at $111.60.

SOL Outlook

Solana price has made a significant recovery over the past few weeks, climbing above the psychological level of $100. The altcoin has been one of the best-performing assets this year, extending its year-to-date gains to more than 1,025%, with more gains recorded in the past month alone. However, even with such growth, analysts have noted that Solana has a bleak chance of topping its ATH of $260.

The reason behind this is the increase in supply relative to its value. In November 2021, when the Solana price hit its all-time high of $260, its total market capitalization was around $78 billion. Despite the value of the crypto asset being less than half of what it was at the top, its market cap is currently hovering near $50 billion.

This has been brought about by the increase in the Solana supply by more than 100 million SOL over the past two years. According to some analysts, for the altcoin to retest $260, its…

Solana Price Skyrockets to 20-Month Peak Amidst Memecoin Frenzy

Published

on

By

Solana price has noted significant gains over the past few weeks, climbing to its highest level since April 2022. The ‘Ethereum Killer’ almost topped the crucial level of $100 on Friday, before pulling back slightly. The asset’s recent surge has catapulted Solana’s total market cap to $39.6 billion, ranking 5th after and above BNB and XRP, respectively. Solana has jumped by more than 22% in the past week and more than 80% in the month to date. At the time of writing, SOL price was trading 0.90% lower at $93.10.

Catalysts Behind SOL’s Rally

Solana price has been on a strong bull run over the past few days, rocketing to its highest level in 20 months as the network benefits from the substantial activity and strong interest in memecoins. The SOL token, the native digital asset of the high-performance blockchain platform Solana, has shown some serious strength over the past few weeks, outperforming all the altcoins in the market.

The recent surge in the Solana price has been linked to heightened on-chain activities on the Solana blockchain. Notably, the ongoing hype for the blockchain’s speedy transactions, cheap fees, and a lottery of meme coin issuances has buoyed SOL’s on-chain activity. Metrics have revealed that Solana has been the strongest draw among on-chain traders, with trading volumes and network fees outperforming Ethereum- the largest altcoin by market cap.
