Yet, NuggetRush (NUGX) continues to win hearts after its presale sold nearly 167 million tokens and raised over $2 million. Analysts agree that NuggetRush’s (NUGX) numbers are impressive. Yet, can it emerge as one of the top crypto coins? Let’s discuss.
NuggetRush: Early Holders Expect Spectacular Increase After Exchange Listing
NuggetRush (NUGX) is a play-to-earn mining game that combines blockchain gaming with finance to offer real-world rewards. The Ethereum-based project comprises an artisanal world where gamers compete to build profitable resource-mining businesses and earn assets such as gold.
NuggetRush (NUGX) players begin with a few NFT characters and machinery to launch their mining operations. To improve and expand their mining efficiency, players are encouraged to buy better machinery and hire better NFT characters who differ by abilities and effectiveness.
NuggetRush (NUGX) also offers a comprehensive marketplace with all the resources players need. Moreover, as the game offers engaging blockchain gaming collaborations, players can also partake in group challenges and mining tasks to earn rare NFTs and mining efficiency upgrades.
NuggetRush (NUGX) has topped news headlines after selling nearly 167 million tokens. Its token value has grown by 80% from its first price of $0.010. NUGX trades $0.018. However, its long-anticipated token listing draws nearer as its value will jump to $0.020. NuggetRush (NUGX) could gradually become one of the top DeFi projects if its bullishness remains.
Litecoin Transaction Count Soars to 16 Million in January
Despite the recent market decline, Litecoin (LTC) remains one of the most active top altcoins. On January 26, Litecoin (LTC) announced that it had processed over 16 million transactions in January 2024. The value represented over 20% of Litecoin’s transaction count in 2023.
The excitement caused by the news could trigger a Litecoin (LTC) rally. LTC traded at $74.73 on January 1. It fell to $64.26 by January 7. LTC jumped by 10.7% to $71.18 by January 19. It soon lost bullish momentum, falling by 4.3% to $68.08 on January 27.
Litecoin (LTC) holders expect a recovery due to the network’s high transaction activity. Furthermore, they expect the low network activity on XRP to boost demand for Litecoin’s services, thus pushing LTC up by 14.7% to $78.10.
Chainlink Holders Expect Jump Following Demand for Asset Tokenization
The demand for tokenization of real-world assets has grown sharply in the past few years. Yet, many analysts say Chainlink (LINK) is well-positioned to capitalize on this growing demand. Chainlink’s (LINK) data feeds have been incorporated into networks that offer tokenization services.
Furthermore, Chainlink announced a plan of increased focus on tokenization of real-world assets in December 2023. The news preceded Chainlink’s price fall in January. LINK traded at $15.54 on January 1. It fell by 9.0% to $14.13 on January 12. LINK then jumped by 13.5% to $16.04 on January 19. Yet, LINK lost bullish momentum, falling by 9.4% to $14.52 by January 27.
Analysts also expect a sharp growth in Chainlink’s network activity following its partnership with Polygon on December 23. Polygon had announced the incorporation of Chainlink’s data feeds onto its zkEVM solution.
Furthermore, Polygon’s head of Institutional Capital has mentioned the increased use of Polygon’s zkEVM in the asset tokenization industry. This could lead to a corresponding increase in Chainlink’s (LINK) network activity. LINK could thus rise by 28.3% to $18.64.
