Moeda Loyalty Points (MDA) Up Over 300% This Week – But Why?
I was blown away this morning when after opening my Binance account to check the ‘Market Gainers’ section of my favorite altcoin exchange I found Moeda Loyalty Points (MDA) had jumped 50% overnight. I’ve noticed the price of this little-known cryptocurrency climbing all week and I have been expecting a natural pull back from the huge gains it has had recently. To my surprise, this coin has again skyrocketed, now perched more than 300% above its price point from just a few days ago.
On October 7th, Moeda (MDA) sat at US $.43, in a relatively stable (if not outright boring) pattern of sideways trading. Slightly down from the month before, slightly up on the day, watching Moeda (MDA) lately was a bit like watching paint dry. Now it’s the most exciting coin on the market as its value races up the crypto-charts, achieving a price of US $1.42 (and climbing) while writing this article.
What is Moeda (MDA)?
Basically, Moeda is a seed funding platform for local businesses. With Moeda (MDA), investments are made into projects enhancing sustainable practices and local growth. Entrepreneurs submit proposals to the program, and when selected, receive funding and mentoring to help them succeed. Seed projects must meet UN Sustainable Development Goals and are selected by the Moeda (MDA) team based on their overall impact on their community.
Investors seeking to make a social impact with their capital can use blockchain to invest and track the progress of their investment with transparency and accountability. From eco-social products to craft beer, Moeda has developed strategic partnerships to facilitate a more sustainable world.
Ok… But what caused the sudden rise in price?
A number of factors may be contributing to the gains experienced by Moeda (MDA) this week. Recent progress has led to a number of developments including the release of the team’s first seed project in August and a fiat pegged token deployed on the Moeda (MDA) ecosystem in September. Further, a digital account and wallet are anticipated this month as developers continue to meet their production goals.
Whether these developments can really justify the recent jump in price is unclear. Honestly, there is very little news out there hyping this project, and while I may be missing something entirely relevant (please comment below to fill me in), I think Moeda (MDA) (and a handful of other lesser-known altcoins) are benefiting from an overall excitement in blockchain projects that may soon translate into gains throughout the broader market.
What can we expect from Moeda’s (MDA) market performance going forward?
Moeda (MDA) has had its share of pumps and dumps (along with the rest of the market) throughout 2018. In early September, this coin shot up over US $.90, only to quickly fall back to earth, stabilizing once again just above US $.40. Longer-term investors will remember the glory days of early 2018 when Moeda (MDA) reached its ultimate peak of US $4.35. Of course, the entire coin market was worth near US $800 Billion at that time.
Whether Moeda can ever reach the heights it achieved in January will largely depend on a new influx of fiat injected once again into the broader altcoin market. While signs do point to another bull run boosting the price of our favorite investments in the near future, the fact that Moeda (MDA) can show gains of this size in an otherwise stable market must be seen as a testament to the power of this altcoin’s base, and the prowess of the Moeda (MDA) platform.
For those of us who are just finding out about this amazing altcoin, it may feel a bit late to buy in. From a technical perspective, a pullback should be expected in the near term before another jump forward brings new investors to the table. On the other hand, that’s what I thought yesterday, and the day before, and the day before that…

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.
Cited figures provided by DeFi aggregator DeFiLlama…
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,…
