Just as DeFi tokens dominated the bull cycle of 2017, DeSci tokens are gaining momentum. According to CoinMarketCap, the market capitalization of top DeSci tokens remains below $1 billion — a figure reminiscent of the early days of DeFi. Analysts suggest that these tokens may follow a similar growth trajectory, offering high returns for early investors.

The potential of DeSci has not gone unnoticed by blockchain heavyweights. Binance Labs, Solana Foundation, and Grassroots DAOs have invested significant funds in the sector, highlighting its growth potential. Such endorsements echo the early days of DeFi when institutional participation helped legitimize the space and attract broad interest.

The leader is OriginTrail (TRAC), a blockchain project focused on the decentralization of scientific data obtained through AI. The price of the TRAC token has increased by 127% since mid-October, building on earlier momentum when it rose by 645% from late 2023 to early 2024.

Other notable tokens include Rifampicin ($RIF ), Hypocrite (HPO), and ResearchCoin (RSC). With low market capitalization, these tokens attract investors looking for high growth opportunities during market upswings.$RAY $STX
