As the crypto market experiences a new phase of growth, three altcoins stand out for their distinct trajectories. Stellar (XLM) is trading near multi-month lows but boasts a burgeoning ecosystem with significant transaction activity and stablecoin volume. Shiba Inu (SHIB), driven by AI-powered predictions of a 45% price surge, faces concerns about market volatility and concentration among whales. However, BlockDAG, the relative newcomer, is delivering on its promise of real-world utility through its live testnet. Offering no-code token creation, decentralized apps, and a reward system for early adopters, BlockDAG is attracting considerable attention within the crypto space.
