It has been an exciting October even though it wasn’t “Uptober” for most crypto portfolios. Bitcoin (BTC) touched $73,000, inching closer to a new all-time high (ATH) and sparking excitement. Also at the heart of the market buzz is the Chainlink (LINK) CCIP v1.5 upgrade, which recently went live on the mainnet.
Meanwhile, a raging discussion in the crypto scene concerns IntelMarkets (INTL), the viral AI crypto. Its bullish AI narrative and AI-powered trading platform are the key arguments why it might be a better bet than memecoin Popcat (POPCAT).
IntelMarkets (INTL): A New AI Crypto to Watch Out For
IntelMarkets (INTL) is one of the new DeFi projects to watch out for given its AI narrative. Buzzing with potential and on track to transform the crypto trading scene, it has been hailed by experts as the best new crypto to invest in.
The presale has been selling out fast as a result—a staggering $1.6 million has been raised in just a few weeks. This highlights trust and hints at future adoption, making it a promising wave worth taking advantage of. Moreover, it is heavily discounted, with a token going for only $0.036 in the fourth stage of the ICO.
Regarding its potential transformation of the $3.2 billion global trading market, its upside potential is largely unmatched. Industry experts predict a 75x rally after its debut, which could outperform Popcat (POPCAT) and Chainlink. Beyond the gains, its AI-powered trading platform will integrate features and tools like copy trading, 1,000x leverage, self-learning trading bots and other advanced tools to assist retail traders.
Chainlink (LINK): CCIP Upgrade Goes Live
Chainlink (LINK), a blockchain abstraction layer, enables universally connected smart contracts. Its decentralized Oracle network allows blockchain to interact with external data feeds, providing smart contracts with critical off-chain information.
In recent news, the Chainlink (LINK) Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) upgrade is now live on the mainnet. The X post by the official LINK handle highlighted why CCIP is the number 1 choice for building cross-chain. These include self-serve deployments, zero-slippage transfers, full control and ownership and enhanced programmability.
This development coincides with a jump in the Chainlink price. Besides the slight gain on the daily chart, LINK is up over 6% in the past 7 days, rising from a low of $10.7 to $12. It is on track to flip the $18.5 resistance and the MACD Level (12, 26) is at 0.153—one of the altcoins to watch out for.
Popcat (POPCAT): Is $5 Inbound?
Popcat (POPCAT) is the leading cat coin on the Solana blockchain. Given the rising demand for cat cryptocurrencies, it is hot on the heels of dog cryptocurrencies like Bonk (BONK) and dogwifhat (WIF) on the SOL chain. Its recent performance has outclassed most memes, rising to the ranks of top altcoins.
It registered an all-time high of $1.8 following a huge traction. While there has been a slight correction, the Popcat price hovers above $1.6—a 7% uptick on the weekly chart. It is also up over 50% in the past 30 days, with sights on more gains and the Simple Moving Average (10) on TradingView Data is 1.5483 (a buy signal).
Its memetic appeal as a unique cat crypto aiming to challenge the dominance of dog cryptos is one of its many attractions. With a full-blown bull market on the horizon, Popcat (POPCAT) hitting $5 isn’t out of the question—one of the top cryptos to invest in.
Conclusion
The recent Chainlink (LINK) upgrade coincides with a price increase. Meanwhile, experts are optimistic about IntelMarkets (INTL) being a better bet than Popcat (POPCAT) given its AI-DeFi narrative and impending transformation of the crypto trading scene with AI.
