The recent FOMC meeting and the impending interest rate decision in the US appear to have had a ripple effect across the global economy. This has resulted in noticeable downturns in the cryptocurrency markets, particularly in Bitcoin. However, there are a few cryptocurrencies inching closer to the crucial $10 billion mark. Let’s delve into the developments of two such potential cryptocurrencies and their respective projects. So, what’s the story with these altcoins on the cusp of hitting this milestone in the crypto world?
**Polkadot (DOT) Insights**
At present, DOT boasts a market capitalization of $9.19 billion, with a trading value of $6.39. There is speculation that with a potential surge in Bitcoin and a potential bullish trend, DOT could breach the $10 billion mark by year-end. Stay updated with the latest tech news on NEWSLINKER.
One noteworthy progression on the Polkadot front is the integration of Real World Assets (RWAs) and the forthcoming launch of Polkadot 2.0, underscoring the development team’s commendable efforts in expansion and widespread adoption.
The growing interest in Polkadot’s Software Development Kit (SDK) for tokenizing real-world assets and the optimistic forecasts from industry experts like Michaël van de Poppe could pave the way for Polkadot to capture a larger market share in the foreseeable future.
These advancements on the DOT front might signal to investors that the $10 billion threshold is within reach, hinging on Polkadot’s advancements in asset tokenization and a potential market upswing.
**Chainlink (LINK) and Collaborations**
Aside from DOT, the spotlight is also on Chainlink (LINK), currently valued at $8.8 billion with a trading price of $15.04. Similarly to DOT, LINK is steadily approaching the $10 billion mark.
Despite witnessing a 5% dip in the past 24 hours and currently trading 23% below its peak of $22.85 earlier this year, ongoing developments on the Chainlink side continue to captivate attention.
Collaborations with prominent US financial institutions such as The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC), JP Morgan (NYSE: JPM), and BNY Mellon in recent times are anticipated to unveil LINK’s potential.
These strategic partnerships on the Chainlink front are believed to boost the value of its native token, LINK, in the future and set the stage for it to hit a market cap of $10 billion.
