The FOMC meeting and the upcoming interest rate decision in the US seem to have affected the entire economic world. In this process, noticeable declines have been observed in the cryptocurrency markets, especially in Bitcoin. Despite this, some cryptocurrencies are gradually approaching the critical $10 billion level. We examined two of these potential cryptocurrencies and their projects. So, what is happening with the altcoins that are approaching this situation in the crypto markets?
Polkadot (DOT) Comments
Currently, DOT has a market value of $9.19 billion and is trading at $6.39. It is believed that with a potential BTC rise and a possible bull run, DOT could reach a market value of $10 billion by the end of the year.
One of the developments on the Polkadot side is the integration of Real World Assets (RWAs) and the upcoming launch of Polkadot 2.0, showcasing the development team’s significant efforts in growth and general adoption.
The increasing interest in Polkadot’s Software Development Kit (SDK) for tokenizing real-world assets and the positive outlook of leading industry analysts like Michaël van de Poppe could pave the way for Polkadot to gain a larger market share in the future.
These developments on the DOT side could show investors that the $10 billion level has been surpassed, depending on Polkadot’s progress in asset tokenization and a potential bull run in the market.
Chainlink (LINK) and Partnerships
In addition to DOT, attention is also on Chainlink (LINK), which currently has a market value of $8.8 billion and is trading at $15.04. Like DOT, LINK is also gradually approaching a market value of $10 billion.
Despite experiencing a drop of over 5% in the last 24 hours and currently trading 23% below its highest level of $22.85 seen this year, developments on the Chainlink side continue to attract attention.
Partnerships with major US financial institutions like The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC), JP Morgan (NYSE: JPM), and BNY Mellon in the past period are thought to contribute to revealing LINK’s potential.
These types of partnerships on the Chainlink side are believed to contribute to the price of its native token, LINK, in the future and pave the way for it to reach a market value of $10 billion.
