Cryptocurrency Analysis: Tron (TRX), Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH)

The cryptocurrency market has entered another turbulent period, with shifts between price recoveries and corrections happening as often as several times per day. It is clear that the coins are still nowhere near to being stable, and most of them are impatient for something to happen, and that extends to investors and traders as well.

However, while most eyes are on Bitcoin, many are also curious about other top coins as well, particularly those within the list of the top ten largest cryptocurrencies by market cap.

Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum is the second largest cryptocurrency by market cap, and likely the second most important coin ever to be made. It is the coin that helped the attention shift from crypto towards blockchain, acting more as a development platform than an actual currency. As a result, Ethereum has started the blockchain revolution, and it became the go-to project for developing dApps, smart contracts, as well as new coins.

It is still the leading project when it comes to the number of other projects developed on its platform, and while it has its own issues — as well as a lot of competition — Ethereum manages to hold its ground. Meanwhile, its coin, Ether, is currently seeing growth, aiming to once again reach the price of $150, although it has several large resistance levels to beat. However, it already breached the most important one at $140. Its price at the time of writing is at $140.51.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH)

Bitcoin Cash is a member of the Bitcoin family, a coin which came to be as a fork of Bitcoin itself. It emerged after the community got split into two groups, one that wanted to see Bitcoin remain true to the vision of its creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, and the other that wanted to take the coin elsewhere and bring changes.

Those loyal to Satoshi’s original plan developed Bitcoin Cash, although this project saw a similar split itself, and recently, in November 2018. The history repeated itself, and BCH started changing its course from the ‘Satoshi Vision’, which caused a part of its community to create a new fork, and call it Bitcoin SV (BSV), which is short for ‘Bitcoin Satoshi’s Vision.’ Meanwhile, BCH itself went its own way and is currently seeing gains, with a price of $160.840 per coin. It is currently the 6th largest coin per market cap.

TRON (TRX)

Finally, there is TRON, a project that aims to decentralize the web and revolutionize the entertainment industry. Led by Justin Sun, TRON started as an ERC-20 token, meaning that it was developed on Ethereum’s network. However, it launched its own blockchain in early summer last year and has since seen a lot of success.

The project became a development platform similar to Ethereum, with some of the most popular dApps in the crypto world being developed within its ecosystem. In addition, TRON continued to establish one partnership after another with various exchanges and companies. It even purchased BitTorrent back in 2018 and launched BitTorrent token (BTT) on January 28th, 2019. The coin also got support from the largest crypto exchange in the world, Binance. It managed to break several records, including the one for the highest number of transactions within 24 hours, previously held by Ethereum.

All in all, TRON appears to have the largest potential to earn the title of ‘Ethereum Killer,’ if the amount of activity within its ecosystem is anything to go by. However, its price is still relatively low, currently sitting at $0.022962.

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.

Solana Price Breaches $60 Amid a Symphony of Bullish Indicators

Published

By

Solana price has jumped more than 8% over the past week, breaching the important level of $60. At the time of writing, Solana was trading 3% higher at $61.07. The asset’s total market cap has climbed to $25.9 billion over the past week, ranking it the 6th largest cryptocurrency after XRP. The total volume of SOL traded over the last day has declined by 8%.

SOL’s Bullish Cues

Solana’s price has been among the best-performing cryptocurrencies this year amid continuous growth. The “Ethereum killer” has consistently impressed investors throughout the year on the back of a resurgence in bullishness, which saw SOL’s price climb more than 513% in the year to date. Institutional investors have also shared the bullish sentiment, making Solana their most preferred altcoin.

In the week ending November 24, Solana recorded inflows worth nearly $3.5 million, significantly more than the other altcoins’ inflows combined. The asset’s monthly inflows were higher at $40.2 million, lower than Ethereum’s $99.6 million inflows in the same period. Other altcoins, including Litecoin and Ethereum, noted significant outflows, making Solana nearly half of the home for DeFi. This implies that when it comes to institutions, Solana is currently the best-performing altcoin with the potential of a long-term rally much higher than other digital assets.

Notably, the Solana DeFi ecosystem accomplished a significant milestone earlier this week. Its Total Value Locked (TVL) hit a new yearly peak of over $655 million,…
