Elrond, Chiliz, Solana, Terra … It is the Nasdaq itself, an index of technology stocks in the United States, which now acts as a consultant on the cryptocurrencies to follow.
Week after week, the signs of acceptance of the cryptomonnaie by the large American financial institutions are multiplying. Now it’s the Nasdaq that takes a stand on his own site.
As indicated by Nasdaq.com, following the new record set by the Bitcoin ($ 67,000 on October 20, 2021), ” now investors are looking for the next crypto leader, among hundreds of tokens et coins “. And to remember that a hundred of these cryptomonnaies are valued at over $ 100 million, starting with Ethereum with a capitalization of 506 billion.
Eight projects cited by the Nasdaq
Nasdaq.com thus offers its own list of eight currencies with the potential to become the next star in the field: Celsius (CEL), Chiliz (CHZ), Elrond (EGLD), Filecoin (FIL), Flow (FLOW), Solana (SOL ), Terra (LUNA) et Waves (WAVES).
Celsius (CEL)
Pioneer currency of DeFi (decentralized finance), the Celsius project aims to facilitate the lending and borrowing of cryptocurrencies. Once you have created a savings account, interest is paid into that account. Celsius was launched in 2017 by Alex Mashinsky and Daniel Leon and now ranks in the Top 100 Cryptocurrencies Listed by Coinmarketcap.
Chiliz (CHZ)
Chiliz was distinguished by one specificity: this currency facilitates the interaction between high level athletes and their fans. In fact, Chiliz counts among its partners clubs such as Manchester City or Paris Saint-Germain. Via the CHZ, fans are able to take a part, however small it may be in their favorite club. It is partly thanks to this token that PSG (Paris Saint-Germain) was able to attract Lionel Messi – part of his remuneration comes from “fans tokens »Issued by PSG and exchangeable for Chiliz.
Elrond (EGLD)
Recently, currencies such as Ethereum have experienced major “scalability” (scalability) problems. Elrond is one of the projects launched – in July 2020 as far as it is concerned – so that it is possible to manage a very large number of transactions (11,000 per second) at a very low cost. After one year of existence, Elrond ranks 37e in the Coinmarketcap cryptocurrency ranking.
Filecoin (FIL)
The ambition of Filecoin is original: to store the most important information of humanity in a decentralized form (on a community ofcomputers rather than a central system). Launched in 2021, FIL quickly ranked at the 27e place de Coinmarketcap.
Flow (FLOW)
Developed by Dapper Labs, Flow is a blockchain which primarily targets games, apps and possessions digital. For the record, Dapper Labs is the creator of CryptoKitties, a application from NFT (digital objects) which was so successful when it was launched that it alone blocked the Ethereum network for several days. Notably, Flow’s investors include entities such as Google, Coinbase or even the publisher of social games Zynga.
Solana (SOL)
Solana is another attempt to answer the problems related to Ethereum and more particularly on the applications of the DeFi. Instead of the ” proof of work »Traditionally provided by cryptocurrency miners, Solana uses a system of “proof of stake” (with a limited number of participants elected by the community) and also of “proof of history” (to verify the chronology of transactions). Thanks to such a system, Solana reduces the cost of a transaction to a few thousandths of a dollar. The attractiveness of Solana has been such that this currency is now ranked in the Top 6 of Coinmarkecap.
Earth (MOON)
Terra (Luna) of Terraform Labs, a South Korean company, relies on a stablecoin house, the TerraUSD (equal to $ 1) for payment processing. This project has attracted a large number of investors – who have “staked” (immobilized) the equivalent of 4 billion in the space of six months. As a result, it ranks # 11 in the Coinmarketcap ranking.
Waves (WAVES)
Appeared in 2016, Waves is a platform helping the creation of dapps (decentralized applications) and smart contracts, but also personalized tokens. Last May, the Waves token experienced a vertical takeoff, before relapsing, then rising to a level close to that of May.
Note: It goes without saying that this list does not commit Futura in any way and does not constitute any investment advice whatsoever.
