Over the past week, market volatility has shown that most tokens have not achieved the double-digit price increases we’ve seen in previous weeks. While $30,000 appears to be the next level of resistance for Bitcoin, analysts are generally optimistic about the market’s prospects over the next few months. Especially for some altcoins with bullish potential in May. Crypto analyst Rahul Nambiampurath shares 5 altcoins to watch and analyst Selena shares 3 altcoins.
Keep your eyes peeled for these altcoins!
BitTorrent (BTT)
BitTorrent price is up more than 6%, possibly due to crypto exchange MDEX listing the token. The team behind the project is asking developers to submit their dApps and websites to be deployed on Awesome BTFS (BitTorrent File System), a decentralized file storage system. This move bodes well for the network as it increases the number of apps and use cases on it. BTT is currently priced around $0.0000006646. Among altcoins, BTT was changing hands at $0.0000006255 last week.

The price of Bitfinex’s UNUS SED LEO (LEO) token has increased by around 5% in the past week, perhaps as the exchange received El Salvador’s first digital asset license. This license allows Bitfinex to issue cryptocurrencies and offer trading within the country.

The altcoin price has increased by around 3%, possibly due to various technical developments in the network. Chief among these is that it has launched its own token bridge that allows ERC-20 tokens to be transferred to its network. Token bridges allow tokens built on different networks to operate on other networks. Another major reason for the price increase is probably the announcement that CoinDCX, a major Indian exchange, has listed TON. While the coin was $2.26 last week, it is currently worth around $2.33.

TRX market cap rose 3% from $5.9 billion to $6.07 billion. The most likely reason for this is that TRON’s stablecoin dominance has increased by over 10%, reaching approximately 34% of the overall market. Founder Justin Sun said the goal is to reach a total of $60 billion by the end of the year. Meanwhile, last month, the US Securities and Exchange Commission sued Sun for unregistered sale of securities. TRX is currently changing hands around $0.0668. The price of the token last week was $0.0663.
