Retailers are back in the crypto market, as are whales. Prices resume their uptrends and growing whale activity propels Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) upswings. With further upsides on the cards, these are some of the top altcoins to keep on the radar.
Meanwhile, DTX Exchange (DTX), a novel hybrid exchange protocol that combines elements of CEX and DEX, skyrockets in presale. Its solid fundamentals, not to mention its significant upside potential, fuel demand and drive interest.
DTX Exchange (DTX): The Latest Star in the ICO World
DTX Exchange (DTX) is the latest star in the ICO world. Its ongoing presale has been nothing short of remarkable, soaring past $1.3 million in early funding. Driving huge demand and interest are its astounding growth prospects and impending transformation of the $10 billion global trading market.
Its unique offering is a hybrid model that combines the best elements of centralized and decentralized exchanges. Its financial ecosystem will be inclusive and allow the trading of diverse assets across TradFi and DeFi, notably stocks, bonds, forex and cryptocurrencies.
With adoption all but certain, it has emerged as a top pick among analysts. The presale is currently in the second round and a token costs only $0.04, which is a great chance to get in early to a project set to skyrocket. With a projected 70x rally after its launch, it will likely outclass top altcoins like Ethereum and XRP.
Ethereum (ETH): Set for a Jump Past $3,000
Ethereum (ETH) is a blockchain system with smart contract capabilities. It helps build decentralized applications (dApps) and hosts other cryptocurrencies. Currently, it is at the forefront of decentralized finance (DeFi) and trails only Bitcoin in market capitalization.
It made history in July as the first altcoin to be wrapped in exchange-traded funds. The approval of Bitcoin ETFs in January paved the way for this landmark development as Ethereum ETFs became the latest crypto asset on Wall Street.
Following the launch of ETH ETFs on July 23rd, the Ethereum price soared past $3,400. However, momentum took a dip as investors “sold the news.” The overall market decline also contributed to its decline, which, on the bright side, pushed it into an attractive buy zone. Meanwhile, whales have been taking advantage of the dip and a popular Ethereum price prediction hints at a jump past $3,000 before the year’s end.
Ripple (XRP): $1 Inbound?
Ripple (XRP), a payment-based altcoin, is back on the upside. Earlier this month, a significant victory in its long-drawn legal tussle against the US SEC was recorded, contributing to its price gain. Judge Analisa Torres fined Ripple $125 million for violating securities laws, a fraction of the SEC’s $2 billion.
It remains to be seen if the SEC will appeal the case but it is a huge win for the fintech company and the XRP coin. Also contributing to its uptick is growing whale interest; they are betting on its price jump in the future.
The current XRP price has room for growth, driving huge interest. It plummeted following the legal standoff with the SEC, pushing it into a good buy zone. With accumulation in full swing, XRP is set to hit $1 before the curtain closes on the year, placing it on the list of altcoins to watch out for.
Conclusion
Growing whale activity can be attributed to the gains in the prices of Ethereum and XRP, while DTX Exchange explodes in presale. This new player is on a bullish path, given its blend of TradFi and DeFi, making it a new DeFi project not to miss out on.
