GoChain (GO): Here’s Why This Altcoin Might $GO All The Way
The need for a faster, friendlier and more decentralized blockchain has led investors to a variety of exchanges this year, searching for viable returns. And while most of the internet chatter on our favorite media sites continues to focus on the loudest competitors in the space (think Tron (TRX) and EOS (EOS) as examples) an exciting crypto-alternative may have slipped past your radar. GoChain (GO) is now getting the attention it deserves as this little-known altcoin consistently leads the market in daily gains.
Announced in February of this year (2018), this blockchain concept, developed to rival Ethereum, quickly made its way to a number of exchanges (including Binance, where most of this altcoin’s trading of is done). Since the announcement, a continuous onslaught of positive news and market gains has excited the industry as its competitors stagnate in the current market doldrums we all have experienced.
So, what is GoChain (GO) exactly?
GoChain (GO), whose mainnet was successfully launched earlier this year, is billed as an energy efficient alternative to Ethereum. It is a smart contract platform for dApps with the promise of faster transactions (a lot faster) and increased decentralization. According to their website, GoChain (GO) can provide 1300 transactions per second (compared to Ethereums 13) and can do so with greater decentralization, due to a global network of nodes operated by independent users of the platform.
While these talking-points may sound similar to the rhetoric commonly touted by better-known competitors of the ‘Ethereum killer’ space, GoChain (GO) has a number of characteristics that investors have started paying closer attention to.
GoChain (GO) is ranked 131 on coinmarketcap.com, and boasts a market capitalization of just under US $40 Million. With its daily volume surpassing US $2.6 Million, there seems to be a lot of room to grow. The price point on this newest crypto darling is still stunningly attractive, hovering near US $.06, despite the 1.02 Billion coins that make up the total supply. In a market surrounded by unicorn valuations (companies with a market cap valued over US $1 Billion) there is a concerted effort by savvy investors to place their fiat in smaller companies, like GoChain (GO), that still have potential to expand.
But what recent developments have the market excited about GoChain (GO)?
October was a busy month for GoChain (GO) as the company exerted its strengths at the annual SanFrancisco Blockchain Week conference. Immediately after the successful conclusion of the conference, the company capitalized on their PR blitz with the announcement of the first decentralized exchange, GODDEX, to be built on the GoChain platform.
GoChain (GO) has started November off with a bang as well, as the company announces a new partnership with LINKCHAIN, a secure supply chain sourcing solution. LINKCHAIN will build its platform on $GO, launching GoChain’s first security token offering (STO).
GoChain will be providing marketing and fundraising support to LINKCHAIN while assisting in the development of this blockchain-based supply chain solution.
With momentum building and a consistent track record of performance backing the team, GoChain (GO) stands ready to take their platform to the next level. And with the current news of their newest partnership, investors will likely clamor to take advantage of the current price point before this thing explodes in a brand new bull run. And as we watch Gochain (GO) make consistent gains in the near term, we should all be asking ourselves just how far this altcoin could $GO.

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 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 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,…
