The cryptocurrency market has gained momentum in recent days, with market leader Bitcoin ($BTC) leading the charge. As Bitcoin continues its momentum, numerous altcoins are expected to surge during the bull run, positioning themselves as valuable investment options.

Bitcoin ($BTC) asserts its position as market leader

Bitcoin has faced months of sideways price action but is finally breaking out. Over the past week, $BTC has gained over 11.8%, currently trading at $67,859. Market sentiment appears to have shifted as the Crypto Fear and Greed Index now ranks market sentiment at 73 (greed) as opposed to last week’s reading of 32 (fear).

The US election is coming up soon, and many market watchers are wondering whether the outcome will affect the cryptocurrency market, given each candidate’s opposing views on cryptocurrencies.

Blackrock CEO Larry Fink recently commented on Bitcoin’s growing legitimacy as an investment, comparing Bitcoin to commodities like gold. Fink stated:

“I’m not sure any of the presidents would make any difference” in Bitcoin’s growth,” adding: “I don’t believe [Bitcoin’s rise] is a function of regulation.”

Fink’s views are refreshing coming from a Wall Street leader. Wall Street bigwigs like Jamie Dimon have long been vocal and dismissive of Bitcoin, making Fink’s remarks all the more favorable. Fink seems to understand that political outcomes do not change Bitcoin’s long-term performance and that it thrives on its technical merits rather than regulatory changes.

Investors look to Altcoins

As the dominant store of value, BTC continues to be the preferred choice of institutional investors. However, its recent price fluctuations have left some questioning whether BTC can continue to dominate the market in the long term. In light of valid concerns from market participants, more and more investors are seeking alternatives to Bitcoin to make the most of the bull run.

Let’s take a look at 3 altcoin projects that are expected to surge in the next cycle.

Husky Inu ($HINU) Pre-Sale Explodes

Husky Inu ($HINU) has recently entered the crypto scene, significantly impacting the industry. The project’s recently launched presale went very well, with the first stage selling out in just a few days. The second stage of its presale has sold out, and the project is currently conducting its third round of fundraising with great enthusiasm. Since going live, the presale has raised nearly $447,000.

Husky Inu ($HINU) has entered the crypto space with a bang to compete with industry giants including Dogecoin and its new best friend, Shiba Inu. The project has an Earn App in the works and a Decentralized Exchange.

Husky Inu ($HINU) and its native token are designed to improve utility and value for its holders by leveraging the power of the Solana ecosystem. The project aims to take the industry by storm by creating a robust and supportive community with enhanced features and rewards. Husky Inu has made a name for itself thanks to its commitment to a trustless token ecosystem. It achieves this through a carefully designed distribution model and capped maximum supply. The project boasts several unique features that set it apart from traditional investment opportunities, including a capped token supply, a deflationary mechanism, fast transactions, and charitable voting. It is, of course, still an early stage investment opportunity.

Cardano ($ADA)

Cardano is a blockchain platform that provides a secure and scalable infrastructure for developing dApps and smart contracts. The Cardano blockchain was created through a rigorous research-driven approach and focuses on scalability, sustainability, and interoperability to address the limitations of existing blockchain technologies. It is a prominent third-generation blockchain that prioritizes technological concerns such as sustainability, scalability, and security. It is one of the most sophisticated and effective blockchain systems due to its Design For Telecom (DFT) architecture and unique proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, Ouroboros. Ouroboros ensures network security and energy efficiency by allowing participants to earn rewards through staking the platform’s native token, $ADA.

$ADA serves multiple purposes within the Cardano ecosystem and can be used for transactions and participation in the platform’s governance through voting proposals and upgrades. Cardano ($ADA) currently ranks as the 11th largest cryptocurrency by market cap, boasting over 40% growth in the past year.

Cardano (ADA) is trading at $0.3472, below the 200-day and 50-day Daily Moving Averages. Over the past 24 hours, Cardano ($ADA) has dropped 0.06% in price.

Bonk ($BONK)

BONK is marketed as the first dog-themed token on the Solana blockchain “for the people, by the people,” with 50% of its total supply distributed to members of the Solana community. BONK launched in December 2022, and its launch saw $SOL gain 34% in 48 hours. The project aims to bring liquidity back to Solana-based DEXs. With a market cap of over $1.76 billion, $BONK currently ranks 54th.

Bonk (BONK), like other meme coins, has exploded in popularity thanks to its strong community support and viral potential. Initially seen as just another speculative token, Bonk (BONK) has surprised many by delivering significant returns to early investors. Much like Pepe ($PEPE) before it, Bonk ($BONK) is capitalizing on the meme coin phenomenon, where coins with robust community support can achieve meteoric increases in value.

While Bonk’s (BONK) success is mostly tied to social media hype and community engagement, it offers high-risk, high-reward opportunities for traders looking to capitalize on short-term gains. Over the past week, $BONK has gained nearly 15% and is poised for immense growth during the bull run.
