9 Altcoins, including DOGE, are expected to experience important events in the upcoming dates, according to cryptocurrency analytics firm Layergg. Here is the trend list to watch:
1. Dogecoin (DOGE): Coinbase International is set to launch Dogecoin futures on April 1, coinciding with ‘Doge Day’ on April 20th. As meme coins have shown sensitivity to such events, it is worth monitoring the impact on DOGE prices.
2. Aptos (APT): In April, Aptos is expected to make a significant announcement regarding real-world assets (RWAs). Speculations suggest a potential partnership with a major asset manager like BlackRock or Franklin Templeton. More details will be disclosed at the ‘Aptos DeFi DAYS’ event on April 2.
3. PENDLE: Arthur Hayes anticipates the launch of the EigenLayer token, possibly in mid-April. Following ETHFI’s successful launch, interest has reignited in Pendle Finance’s product. Token releases from upcoming Restaking projects could further boost Pendle Finance’s momentum.
4. Phantom (FTM): The Phantom Sonic Mainnet is scheduled for release between late March and early April. CEO Andre Cronje is actively engaged in promotional activities. While the current price reflects expected catalysts, caution is advised due to Cronje’s significant influence.
5. Stacks (STX): With the Bitcoin halving less than a month away, the Nakamoto upgrade is planned for the end of April. Positioned as the first SEC-compliant blockchain, Stacks continues to attract the attention of global asset managers such as Franklin Templeton.
6. Ondo (ONDO): BlackRock’s announcement of a $100 million tokenized asset fund has linked Ondo Finance as the associated RWA project. Bitwise’s “Crypto Use Case 2024” Report highlighted Ondo as a significant project, suggesting potential corporate partnerships.
7. Toncoin (TON): Telegram’s decision to use TON exclusively for advertising payments implies a monthly flow of 800 million active users. Additionally, Telegram has a catalyst for a “potential IPO.” The TON Foundation’s Open League commences on April 1 and will distribute 30 million TON to projects and users within the TON ecosystem.
8. XPLA (XPLA): Rumors indicate the release of zkSync in April. With recent investment from Matter Labs, XPLA is potentially linked to zkSync. XPLA has acquired the AAA game ‘MadWorld’ and plans to include two more AAA games in the near future.
9. Aerodrome Finance (AERO): The total locked value of the underlying chain has doubled within a month, positioning Aerodrome as a leading DeFi project on the Base chain. It serves as a Base-linked altcoin. Aerodrome’s Slipstream launch is expected in the coming weeks. Coinbase Ventures officially announced its acquisition and retention of AERO in February.
