Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX), and dYdX surge as Bitcoin surpasses $37K.

The cryptocurrency market is buzzing with excitement as altcoins make significant gains alongside Bitcoin. It seems like altcoin season is in full swing! While Bitcoin stole the show by reaching an intra-day high of $37,400, altcoins such as DYDX, Solana’s SOL, and Avalanche’s AVAX are not far behind, chasing new year-to-date highs and reflecting double-digit gains. The total market capitalization of the altcoin market has reached a staggering $659.5 billion, setting a new high for 2023.

But what exactly is driving these altcoin rallies? Well, it’s a delightful mix of sentiment-based factors and project fundamentals. Let’s dive into the top performers of the week and uncover the catalysts behind their impressive growth.

DYDX: Fee Switch and Price Boost

Let’s start with DYDX, the token powering the decentralized exchange platform dYdX. With the launch of its layer-1 blockchain and the on-chain distribution of all fees to validators and stakers, DYDX has experienced a remarkable price surge of over 110% in the past 30 days. It’s like watching a rocket take off, except this rocket is fueled by the enthusiasm of its users and the promising revenue figures. Speaking of which, dYdX’s fees and revenues have shot up by a whopping 77.5%, reaching $8.67 million in just 30 days. That’s enough to make any investor’s heart skip a beat!

SOL: Reaching New Heights

Solana’s SOL token has been on a wild ride, with a 30-day return of over 166%. Despite already hitting a 2023 high on November 10th, Solana’s price is still a long way from its all-time high. This soaring price is driven by a surge in users, thanks to Jito, the top-performing decentralized application on the Solana blockchain. The platform’s daily active users reached an impressive 200,000, coinciding with a 78.2% increase in revenue. It’s clear that Solana is climbing to new heights, driven by a skyrocketing user base and dazzling revenue figures.

AVAX: The Avalanche is Coming

Last but not least, let’s talk about Avalanche’s AVAX token. Despite being relatively smaller compared to Solana and dYdX, AVAX has been making waves in the market. With gains of over 59% in the past seven days and an impressive growth rate of 118% in 30 days, AVAX is proving that big things come in small packages. Its price may still be more than 7 times below its all-time high, but that hasn’t stopped AVAX from catching investors’ attention. The performance of AVAX is like a snowball rolling down a mountain, gaining momentum with each passing day.

While altcoins like DYDX, SOL, and AVAX are dominating the headlines, let’s not forget about the behemoth in the room: Bitcoin. Bitcoin’s dominance rate has remained above 50% since October 16th, cementing its position as the king of the cryptocurrency market. However, as Bitcoin’s dominance decreases, we often see funds flowing into altcoins, signaling the start of an altseason. So, keep an eye on these altcoins and buckle up for an exciting ride!
