The 5 cryptocurrencies that are down today but analysts see as winners of the new cycle
After the anticipated cut of 25 basis points, the words of the Fed chair generated a climate of caution in the markets.
Bitcoin
Bitcoin (BTC) continues to be the main axis of confidence in the crypto market.
Institutional investors, who had reduced exposure during the second quarter in the context of high rates, gradually re-entered since September.
Ethereum
Ethereum (ETH) positions itself as the second major bet.
Unlike Bitcoin, whose narrative is based on scarcity and store of value, Ethereum benefits from advancements in the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem and asset tokenization. Each liquidity expansion cycle tends to multiply the demand for transactions on the network and, therefore, increase the use of the native token.
Solana
Among altcoins, Solana (SOL) tops the list of cryptocurrencies with the greatest potential.
Solana has gained prominence in recent months due to its speed, scalability, and the growing development of applications within its network. Many traders consider it the "tech stock of the crypto ecosystem": high volatility, high return potential, and strong correlation with international liquidity.
XRP
XRP, the token of Ripple, has become one of the most attractive options for investors seeking crypto exposure with lower volatility.
Its potential is supported by a key point: adoption by traditional financial institutions. Ripple maintains agreements with banks and international payment operators to use its technology for transfers.
Chainlink
Ranking fifth is Chainlink (LINK), a cryptocurrency that, while not usually capturing the media attention of Bitcoin or Solana, plays an increasingly relevant role in the ecosystem. Chainlink operates as a decentralized oracle that connects smart contracts with real-world data. Its growth directly depends on the expansion of the DeFi sector.
