As lucrative opportunities emerge, investors divert their capital from Bitcoin (BTC) to altcoins.
With Bitcoin’s price stalling near recent highs and perpetual futures funding rates dropping to new lows, market sentiment hints at a cautious approach toward the flagship cryptocurrency.
SOL, BNB, AVAX Attract Investors
Investors’ recent moves signify a redistribution of capital towards altcoins, showing promising growth. They have isolated three altcoins — Solana (SOL), Binance’s Build-and-Build (BNB), and Avalanche (AVAX) — as offering the most promising returns as the price of Bitcoin has remained range-bound in recent days.
BNB has been a standout, with a robust ecosystem encouraging reinvestment through its Launchpool. The Launchpool enables stakers to compound their returns significantly. This cycle has contributed to the BNB token’s breakout above $600.
Solana’s ecosystem saw a remarkable 45% increase in one of its popular memecoins, Dogwifhat (WIF), which touched an all-time high on March 14. Meanwhile, crypto influencer Miles Deutscher noted that Avalanche subnets could push the AVAX token beyond $50 and closer to $100.
“AVAX is really pushing its gaming subnets. I do like AVAX and a break of $50 could actually see AVAX try and push up more towards this $100 level,” Deutscher said.
