4 Coins for Your Portfolio
Altcoins that are highly sought after and boast significant potential this season.
Moreover, they could be considered for inclusion in a long-term portfolio, as experts suggest
the likelihood of experiencing growth and unlocking further bonuses for their holders.
So, let’s dive right into them;
Solana (SOL)
Launched in 2020, Solana is a functional open-source blockchain with a focus on decentralized
finance solutions. By combining its innovative proof-of-history (PoH) consensus mechanism
with proof-of-stake (PoS), it tackles scalability challenges, making itself attractive to
both retail and institutional investors.
Strong fundamentals have fueled Solana’s recent surge in popularity, attracting a significant
number of users. This popularity has been further boosted by the launch of trending
meme coins within the Solana ecosystem, including the recent dragon-themed Smog coin
that has seen a price increase.
This follows the success of earlier meme coins like BONK, WIF, and MYRO. Solana’s SOL token
has also seen remarkable growth over the past year, exceeding 700%. Many believe this
surge is far from over, with analysts predicting Solana could reach $250 by the beginning of
the altcoin season and If the hype persists, the token’s price could soar even higher.
