November proved to be one of the strongest months for cryptocurrencies in 2024. According to a report by VanEck, memecoins enjoyed a 95% surge, while Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), Polkadot (DOT), and Stellar (XLM) recorded significant gains.
Solana’s Ecosystem Thrives
Solana saw a 42% increase in November, with its SOL token reaching an all-time high of $262. This growth was driven by a rise in activity linked to memecoin trading, leading to a market recovery and a substantial increase in trading volumes.
Solana's revenue reached $177 million, double the previous month's total.
Projects like Jito and Pump.fun generated revenues of $185 million and $92 million, respectively.
Jito, an on-chain application, capitalizes on arbitrage opportunities.
Pump.fun directly profits from memecoin trading.
Solana’s success was further bolstered by its Phantom wallet, which claimed the top spot in Apple Store’s "Free Utilities" category, and Robinhood’s reinstatement of SOL trading. Additionally, an airdrop of tokens by NFT marketplace Magic Eden spurred further trading activity.
Cardano: ADA Soars Over 200%
Cardano was one of the standout performers in November, with ADA gaining 201% in value.
The rally was partly driven by Charles Hoskinson's establishment of a cryptocurrency policy office in Washington, D.C.
Further momentum came from Robinhood re-listing ADA and governance upgrades, emphasizing on-chain decision-making by ADA holders.
Although Cardano has achieved substantial growth, metrics such as stablecoin volumes and daily DEX trading still lag behind Ethereum (ETH), highlighting potential for further expansion.
Polkadot Surprises with Its Growth
Polkadot, often seen as underperforming, experienced a surprising rally in November.
A significant contributor was Mythos Chain, a gaming blockchain hosting popular titles like NFL Rivals.
Founder Gavin Wood announced plans for improving Polkadot’s architecture, enabling better interoperability and cloud services.
This development could position Polkadot favorably against Ethereum and other leading projects.
DeFi Sector Shines
The decentralized finance (DeFi) sector also showed strength:
Aave surpassed $30 billion in deposits, which would make it one of the largest banks if it were a traditional institution.
Uniswap solidified its position thanks to a favorable court ruling on the legality of smart contracts.
Conclusion
November demonstrated that the cryptocurrency market remains dynamic and full of growth opportunities. Solana, Cardano, and Polkadot exemplify projects benefiting from robust ecosystems and innovations. With a 95% increase, memecoins highlight the diversity and surprises within the crypto space.
