January’s Top Gainers Are Led By Pendle, Sui, Ronin, Manta And Celestia As Analysts Say Watch These ICOs For Future Explosive Returns

January’s top gainers had to navigate a turbulent crypto market.

The month kicked off with a raging bull market only for the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds) just 10 days into the year to trigger a sharp selloff that was followed in the past week by a strong comeback.

While the S&P Cryptocurrency Broad Digital Market Index shows the outcome was a meager 1.5% rise for crypto markets overall in January, there were nonetheless some standout performers.

January’s Top Gainers

Here are the five top gainers among the top 100 cryptos by market capitalisation, as measured by CoinMarketCap, at around noon EST:

Pendle (PENDLE) led the charge by surging more than 126% to $2.72, reflecting growing confidence among traders in its potential for yield optimization in DeFi. It secured a partnership during the month with Ondo Finance, a Coinbase protocol.

Not far behind was Sui (SUI), which soared about 99% to reach $1.60. Sui’s pump can be attributed at least in part to the launch of fiat-to-SUI ramps by Banxa.

In third place is Ronin (RON), an ecosystem token that underpins the Ronin blockchain. It’s tailored for decentralized applications, especially in the gaming sector, and jumped 54% to $2.83. Ronin has become a token of choice for investors looking for exposure to the burgeoning blockchain gaming industry.

The next best performer was Manta Network (MANTA), with an almost 39% rise to $3.15. Its Total Value Locked (TVL) surged during the month, amassing $50M in TVL over the past 15 days.

Completing the top five was Celestia (TIA), which climbed more than 37% to $17.12.

Future Top Gainers

That’s the past, but what about the future? Many crypto analysts point to presales as having the best potential for exponential gains. While it’s notoriously difficult to predict the direction of cryptocurrencies, these following four ICOs are ranked by some analysts as among the most likely tokens to offer turbocharged gains in coming months:

With Bitcoin finding its feet again after a sharp fall, and the April halving now looming, analysts say cloud mining project Bitcoin Minetrix might be a great way to play an incoming Bitcoin bull run. The project aims to make cloud mining more accessible by reducing entrance barriers and start-up expenses.

Those not too fainthearted to consider meme coin investments might look no further than SpongeV2, an upgraded version of Sponge ($SPONGE). Analysts note that it’s up 636% in the past year and that it exploded 100x after listing last year. As if that wasn’t enough, Sponge got a high-profile endorsement from Tron founder Justin Sun, who holds Sponge worth about $90k.

Another meme coin that’s attracting analyst attention is Meme Kombat, a gaming platform that enables players in the MK community to face off in an arena while represented by a meme persona of their choosing.

Last but not least is a very unusual presale called eTukTuk that’s seen having 10x growth potential.  Its grand aim is to introduce electric, three-wheel tuk tuks and charging stations into regions including South Asia and Africa.

It’s starting in Sri Lanka and the funds raised by its presale have surged to more than $700K already.

Crypto market ‘dramatically underestimates’ bullishness of spot Bitcoin ETFs

Image
“It’s reckless not to aggressively accumulate BTC at current levels,” K33 senior analyst Velte Lund said in a recent report. The potential of a spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) approval to drive prices up is dramatically underestimated by the crypto market , claim analysts from crypto research firm K33 — formerly Arcane Research.  In a Sept. 5 market report, K33 senior analyst Vetle Lunde and vice president Anders Helseth said the last three months had greatly improved the chances of a spot Bitcoin ETF approval despite the sentiment not being reflected in the price of Bitcoin or other mainstay crypto assets. The analysts explained while Bitcoin had all but given up its gains in the wake of Grayscale’s legal victory over the Securities and Exchange Commission — an approval would “attract enormous inflows” and significantly increase buying pressure for Bitcoin. Bitcoin returned its gains in the wake of Grayscale's victory. Source: K33 Research However, the downside of ...

Crypto Bias Blocks People from Seeing Coinbase as Goldman 2.0: Bitwise CEO

In a recent tweet, Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise Asset Management, shared his frustration with the poor attention given to the US-based crypto, Coinbase, claiming that people are “sleeping” on the crypto business. Horsley argued that while big banks like Goldman Sachs attempt to avoid a “slow death” by investing in technology, APIs, and retail services, Coinbase has already achieved what many banks strive to attain. He points out that the exchange has an exceptional institutional team with 25% of the most significant hedge funds as clients, over 50% institutional volume, and a suite of first-class tech products. The Bitwise CEO also claimed that Coinbase co-invented the USDC payment rail, facilitating $2 trillion in transfers in 2022 Q4 alone. Rant — People are sleeping on Coinbase. Big banks like GS are working to avoid slow death by getting into technology, APIs (Apple deal), more retail services (Marcus), while grappling with the heft of legacy biz, rate exposure, ...
