Из жизни альткоинов

With his genius for bankrupting businesses – including a casino – who would have thought that people would be seriously taking financial cues from President-elect Donald Trump? Yet here we are.

As cryptocurrencies dip slightly over the holidays and Trump takes advantage of the lower prices to boost his own portfolio, here are the top altcoins and meme coins you should be considering right now.

Ever since the US election, cryptocurrency has been on something of a drunken rampage, with Bitcoin going as high as $106,278.242 and Ethereum as high as $4,046.24. But now it’s sobering up, and we’re seeing some price corrections. Bitcoin is down 9.5% and the crypto market as a whole is down about 12%, as the Fear and Greed Index readjusts.

Extreme Greed Is Now Dropping To Neutral Levels

The Crypto Fear and Greed Index more or less measures whether crypto prices are driven by fear or greed. On a scale of 0-100, zero indicates extreme fear, and 100 indicates extreme greed.

Ever since Donald Trump won the US presidential election in November, the index has been in the high 90s, indicating plenty of greed. But what goes up must come down, and as of today, the index is sitting at 54. Even so, these are just the opportunities to look for.

Trump’s World Liberty Financial Treasury didn’t hesitate to take advantage of the crypto dip and bought $2.5M of Ethereum, bringing up its total Ethereum holdings to $50.5M. Obviously, few can match that level of investment, but even so, buying into the dip makes sense if you want to beef up your crypto portfolio before the market recovers again, as it almost inevitably will come the presidential inauguration.

Price Fluctuations Are Imminent – Hold Onto Your Portfolios!

Before then, however, brace for some rapids. December 27 is going to shake up the markets as crypto sees the biggest options expiry event ever, with over $19.8 billion in Bitcoin options expiring.  As traders take the opportunity to adjust their positions and minimize losses, both Bitcoin and Ethereum are likely going to experience short-term price fluctuations, which may make you think twice about your investments.

In this generally bullish market, any price shakeups will hopefully just be temporary. But as a crypto-friendly US President is inaugurated in a few weeks, the market will most likely shoot up once again. So, it’s best not to rush into cashing out. It may be a good idea to wait and see how it plays out.

The Altcoins To Focus On

You may want to take your cue from President-elect Trump and jump on the lower crypto prices or diversify into the Altcoin boom happening right now. With low presale prices and attractive staking APYs, low-cap meme coins show the greatest short-term gains potential. Here are the top meme coins on our radar right now.

• Wall Street Pepe ($WEPE) is currently sitting on a token price of $0.0003653 (with the price about to go up today), and a staking APY of 38%. It just goes to show that the frogs can’t be stopped, and they’re getting wiser every day.
• Solaxy ($SOLX) is sitting pretty at $0.001576 per token (the price will increase tomorrow), and it’s offering a staking APY of 857%.
• Flockerz ($FLOCK) is another good token that’s taking off right now. One Flock is $0.006504, and it’s promising a staking APY of 364%.
• Best Wallet Token ($BEST) is the currency connected to Best Wallet, and has a current value of $0.023325, with the price going up in less than two days from now. Its staking APY currently sits at 8%.
• Meme Index ($MEMEX) follows Crypto All-Stars’ MemeVault example and describes itself as the “world’s first decentralized meme coin index.” It’s giving a token price of $0.0145702 and a staking APY of 5,636% (no, that’s not a typo.)
• CatSlap ($SLAP) is proving popular with degen investors thanks to its gamified approach. This is shown by its token price of $0.00336082 and staking APY of 40%.
• SpongeV2 ($SPONGE) replaces SpongeV1, with their website claiming a 32% increase in the token price, compared to V1. Each token is currently valued at $0.000008, and it brings a staking APY of 15%.

Price Fluctuations Are Not Always a Cause For Heartburn

Price decreases are a normal part of investing, and big decreases can be a cause for concern. But, what we’re seeing right now are just gradual changes as the market readjusts to a more reasonable price level. That said, it’s also a great time for you to grab some more crypto, before the price hopefully starts to rise again.

Директор европейского отдела исследований Bitwise прогнозирует вероятность новых потрясениях на рынке цифровых активов в ближайшие недели. По мнению эксперта, Федеральная резервная система США оказалась в сложном положении, пытаясь балансировать между экономически негативными сценариями, что уже отразилось на стоимости биткоина.

Основатель Cardano заявил, что намерен встретиться с сенаторами-демократами, включая Джона Феттермана (John Fetterman) от штата Пенсильвания, для продвидения более лояльного к криптоиндустрии законодательства.

Crypto All-Stars is launching its native token, $STARS, on the decentralized exchange (DEX) Uniswap today at 2 pm UTC. 

Ahead of the DEX listing, the meme project surpassed $26M on presale, which ended on Friday. $STARS momentum is fueled by its role as the linchpin of MemeVault, a novel unified meme coin staking platform. 

The pre-listing shoutout on CoinMarketCap, Binance chatter, and comprehensive audits by Coinsult and SolidProof also add to $STARS’ popularity. 

$STARS Staking Protocol Features 11 Major Meme Coins

The MemeVault will go live after the DEX listing, enabling early adopters to stake 11 major meme coins (Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Pepe, Floki Inu, Brett, Mog Coin, Milady, Turbo Token, Toshi The Cat, Coq Inu, and Bonk) straight away. 

$STARS is a central part of MemeVault, multiplying staking rewards for its holders. 

To encourage user engagement, a $20K event dubbed the ‘Last Meme Standing Competition’ will start tomorrow (December 24) at 2 pm UTC. Details currently remain scarce, but it could be an excellent opportunity for $STARS holders to win freebies within MemeVault.

Crypto-All Stars Taps Into CoinMarketCap’s 340M Monthly User Base

CoinMarketCap further boosts demand for $STARS. The crypto tracking website with over 340M monthly visitors gave the token a rare pre-listing shoutout. 

Moreover, MemeFi Club, which has 3.8M+ subscribers on YouTube, recently speculated Binance has been eyeing $STARS after it raised $1M in a post-presale listing. 

Given Binance’s position as the leading centralized exchange (CEX) with a 24-hour trading volume edging close to $22B, it could significantly enhance $STARS accessibility and liquidity. 

On top of that, $STARS is fully audited by Coinsult and SolidProof, so there’s no reason to worry about rug pulls or code vulnerabilities. 

In addition, Best Wallet featured $STARS in the ‘Upcoming Tokens’ section. Over 100K avid traders use this self-custody crypto wallet to search for the next meme coin leader. 

$STARS price is also set to increase as its circulating supply decreases with time; tokens with limited supply often attract higher demand. 

Buy $STARS on Uniswap Today

The soon-coming Uniswap listing is a significant boon for $STARS. The DEX has an impressive $991M 24-hour trading volume, which increases $STARS’ odds for broad acceptance. 

When also considering its CoinMarketCap feature, Binance rumors, full audits, Best Wallet listing, and burning mechanism, it’s no wonder $STARS is projected to be among the meme coins set to skyrocket before Christmas. 

To buy $STARS, visit Uniswap at 2 pm UTC.

Криптовалютный аналитик и трейдер под псевдонимом Rekt Capital заявил, что падение курса биткоина на 15%, которое произошло за последнее время, является лишь началом пути. В краткосрочной перспективе цена актива может рухнуть еще на 20-30%, считает эксперт.

Японская инвестиционная компания Metaplanet объявила о покупке 619,70 BTC на сумму $60 млн, воспользовавшись падением криптовалюты до уровня $95 000. Согласно заявлению Metaplanet, средняя цена покупки одной монеты составила около $96 000.

Интерпол объявил во всемирный розыск Ричарда Шулера (Richard Schueler), также известного как Ричард Харт (Richard Heart), основателя криптопроектов HEX и PulseChain. Запрос подобного ранга к правоохранительным органам стран мира называется «красным уведомлением».

The 24-hour Dogecoin price action has been highlighted by a range between $0.3049 and $0.3229 as both the bulls and bears work to break into either side. As the cryptocurrency continues to struggle with price corrections on the short-term timeframe, technical analysis of a wider timeframe shows a bullish structure that would lead to a parabolic surge in the coming weeks and months.

According to technical analysis of the monthly candlestick chart by crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade, Dogecoin is well on track for a bullish breakout from here. He highlighted the formation of an ascending channel from the bottom, which is poised to play a critical role in Dogecoin’s direction in 2025.

Ascending Channel Hints At Imminent Breakout For The Dogecoin Price

Dogecoin’s price action in the past two weeks has been highlighted by a correction since it reached a multi-year high of $0.475 on December 8. Particularly, Dogecoin has corrected as high as 43% from that point, even hitting a low of $0.267 on December 20. 

However, zooming out on the Dogecoin price chart into the monthly timeframe shows that the leading meme cryptocurrency is currently exhibiting a bullish price pattern. Trader Tardigrade’s analysis emphasizes Dogecoin’s current technical pattern of an ascending channel, which often signals a bullish breakout when nearing the upper boundary of the channel. Although December has been characterized by a rejection after a higher high on this channel, current market dynamics point to a looming breakout. 

Interestingly, Trader Tardigrade highlighted a similar formation in late 2020 before the ensuing parabolic surge in 2021. With this in mind, Dogecoin could repeat the same move and breakout of the ascending channel in early 2025 with a massive upward monthly candle. 

2025 Outlook: Will DOGE Finally Break $1?

One of the most intriguing aspects of Trader Tardigrade’s analysis is the timeline tied to Elon Musk’s anticipated role as the official head of DOGE (Department Of Government Efficiency) in January 2025. Musk, a vocal supporter of Dogecoin, has long influenced the meme coin’s price movements through social media and public endorsements. Trader Tardigrade hinted that Musk’s association with DOGE in 2025 could act as a precursor for another massive upward candle in January. 

Dogecoin, despite its meteoric rise during the 2021 bull market, has yet to achieve the coveted $1 milestone. The closest it came was in May 2021, when its price peaked at $0.7316. However, as it stands, the general consensus among bullish proponents is a Dogecoin break above $1 in the coming months. 

According to Trader Tardigrade’s projection, the ensuing massive upward candle could see the Dogecoin price reach as high as $2.1 in January 2025. From here, continued momentum would see Dogecoin breaking above $10 later in 2025. 

At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.311.

We are in the last week of the year. All that you have is 7 days to make an impact in your portfolio this year and in order to do that, you will need the right tokens. That’s what we have today – the top 4 best tokens that can surge by the end of the year just like PENGU and Fartcoin.

For those who don’t know, Pengu already has a $2.3 billion market cap, and Fartcoin, which was launched in October has a market cap of $1 billion.

1. Solaxy (SOLX)

SOLX is one of the hottest trending tokens at the moment. Within the first week of its presale, it managed to raise more than $4 million in sales. Some experts are also predicting that it might be the next 100x token.

There are two main reasons for it. Firstly, there’s already an initial hype around the token. If it keeps this same pace, by the end of the year there can be a significant surge in its value.

Secondly, SOLX is the native currency of the new layer-2 project for Solana. This project solves everyday problems that investors usually face such as heavy traffic that leads to slow or failed transactions.

2. iDEGEN

iDEGEN’is not just a regular memecoin. It’s an AI meme coin based on the iDEGEN AI chatbot that has absolutely no limits! You can ask it anything and it’ll respond to whatever it feels like.

Not even the creators know what it’ll say because its responses are based on what the users have fed it. This is the biggest reason why it’s going viral and has managed to garner more than $8.1 million so far. Out of this, the first $1 million came within 24 hours.

In just 22 days, the token has returned more than 124,445% to investors. While we don’t have an exact number of expected growth for next year, some experts predict that iDEGEN might be the next 1000x coin.

3. Wall Street Pepe (WEPE)

WEPE is another popular token that’s been trending lately. Its presale has broken all previous records, grossing more than $32.3 million in just a few weeks. Experts predict that it might soon reach $40 million as well, which is a record high for tokens in presale.

By the end of 2024, there probably won’t be much change but next year, experts are predicting a whopping 500% surge.

The token has already made many of its investors millionaires overnight and you invest at the right time, who knows, you might be one of them.

4. Vantard ($VTARD)

Vantard has got investors hooked and here’s why – it’s a meme portfolio that gives users easy access to diversified, explosive meme coins. It’s ideal for beginners who don’t want to be worried about picking the best coins. Vantard already picks the best-performing tokens and all that a user has to do is purchase $VTARD token in order to access them.

Now coming to its presale performance, it has raised $960k so far which might not be a lot but there’s still a lot of days left for the presale to end. As of now, it’s not ending before January 15 so better buy it before you miss out the discounted rates.

Even if it doesn’t grow as much as WEPE or iDEGEN (we really cant predict the returns right now), you’ll at least have access to the other best performing memecoins.

Invest for Growth

Each and every token mentioned on this list has the potential to go viral. Out of these, iDEGEN and WEPE are more likely to break all previous records and make their investors millionaires overnight.

But as we always say, it’s important to be very careful when investing in crypto. The market is always volatile so make sure you check the performance of a token in real-time before making any investment decision. This article is in no way an investment advice and it is recommended to do your own research before investing.

 

Ripple (XRP) has been on a wild ride, turning heads with its recent rally, climbing more than 20% over the past week. After securing partial clarity in its legal battle with the SEC, the token has seen renewed interest. 

While XRP has been climbing steadily, it still has a long way to go to reach its all-time high of $3.84 from January 2018. 

Meanwhile, a lesser-known contender, Solaxy ($SOLX), is quietly gaining momentum and attracting attention in the presale space.

The decentralized solar energy marketplace is creating buzz among investors who value both meme-worthy hype and utility.

The XRP Comeback Story

XRP’s rally is proof that old favorites can make a comeback. 

It’s up nearly 100% from its 2023 lows, driven by optimism around regulatory clarity and increased institutional adoption. 

But as traders cheer on XRP, there’s an underlying question: Can it sustain the momentum, or will profit-takers hit the brakes? 

XRP might be a safe bet for the seasoned crowd. But for those hunting the next breakout star, $SOLX might offer something more exciting.

$SOLX: The Under-the-Radar Contender 

At its core, $SOLX solves two major problems: decentralizing energy access and reducing carbon footprint. 

It’s a concept that resonates with eco-conscious investors and tech enthusiasts alike. With $3M raised in its first presale week, $SOLX has proven there’s real appetite for green tech. 

What sets $SOLX apart is its blend of meme culture and utility. The project taps into the growing demand of sustainable solutions while keeping things relatable. 

Early investors are already imagining the potential gains. At its current presale price of $0.001574, predictions suggest it could deliver a modest yet exciting 2.5x to 3.5x return post-launch. 

Of course, that depends on broader market conditions and $SOLX delivering on its roadmap. 

Cautious Optimism 

The concept of $SOLX is exciting, but remember to approach it with caution. As with all presales, there’s an element of risk involved.

The project’s success will depend on adoption rates and execution. 

Still, the combination of utility and hype gives $SOLX a fighting chance to stand out in a crowded market. 

Meme Coins Meet Utility 

As XRP continues to climb, $SOLX presents an intriguing alternative for investors seeking the next big thing. 

Whether you’re a fan of green tech, a crypto trader, or someone tired of traditional investments, $SOLX is worth keeping on your radar.

Like many other cryptocurrencies, Dogecoin’s price action in the past week has been highlighted by a notable correction. Dogecoin, in particular, saw its price break below $0.3 for the first time in four weeks, leading to a bottom below $0.27.

According to an interesting take by crypto analyst Master Kenobi, Dogecoin could continue on a gradual decline in the next few months before another strong move upwards.

Interesting Outlook For Dogecoin Price

Although Dogecoin has recovered above the $0.3 mark at the time of writing, Master Kenobi recently teased the possibility of the leading meme coin to continue on a gradual decline in the short term. Sharing his thoughts on the social media platform X, the analyst outlined a potential roadmap for DOGE, predicting a period of decline followed by an explosive rally.

“What if DOGE…is gearing up for its third and final leap in such a scenario?” Kenobi speculated.

According to his observation, the cryptocurrency might experience a gradual drop in value until mid-April, culminating around April 15. In terms of a price target, this decline could see the Dogecoin price falling to as low as $0.175, which would essentially erase most of its gains in the past two months or so.

Following this decline, the analyst suggested, Dogecoin could embark on a strong upward trajectory starting May 5, with the rally potentially peaking in mid-August. This rally is predicted to be highlighted by a break into new all-time highs above the current one of $0.74, with an eventual peak above $1 by August 18. 

Timelines Put The Rally Much Closer

Kenobi’s outlook on Dogecoin seems to deviate from the current sentiment among Dogecoin investors and other analysts, especially the bearish first half of his prediction. Nonetheless, it also remains a possibility, considering the unpredictable nature of cryptocurrencies. 

Interestingly, Kenobi made it clear that his post was purely speculative. “Not saying it will happen, but it caught my eye, and I thought I’d share it with you too,” he noted.

The general consensus is that Dogecoin is resuming its uptrend along the rest of the crypto market very soon. If not in the last few days of 2024, surely sometime in early 2025. In another recent analysis, Master Kenobi noted that the RSI indicator points to Dogecoin resuming its uptrend in the next few weeks.

Dima James, another crypto analyst, noted that Dogecoin is still able to reach above $10 this cycle. This bullish sentiment is also echoed by another analyst known as Trader Tardigrade, who noted that Dogecoin is well on track to reaching above $1 sooner than later.
