Optimism Loses December Gains in Market-Wide Correction
The crypto market has been filled with bullish momentum since the end of 2023. Top altcoins had rallied impressively. Optimism (OP) recorded over 100% price increase in December 2023. Its market capitalization had also risen by $1 billion in the same time frame.
Yet, Optimism (OP) has lost some of its December growth in January 2024. OP traded at $3.9887 on January 1. It fell by 19.8% to $3.1979 by January 18. OP declined by 10.6%, reaching $2.8561 on January 24 before a 10.5% recovery to $3.1571 on January 30.
Optimism’s (OP) fall shocked many analysts as the network enjoyed bullish sentiments following its recent upgrades. On January 25, Optimism (OP) launched its bedrock upgrade. Market experts believed the ensuing bullish sentiments would sustain Optimism’s (OP) rally.
However, there were many people disappointed by Optimism’s decline. They say OP might rise by 22.2% to $3.8590 due to excitement around its network upgrades.
Aptos Expects Large Developer Influx Following Data Transparency Partnerships
Aptos (APT) has partnered with several large data providers to create easier access to real-time information for developers on its network. Companies involved in the partnership with Aptos (APT) include Dune Analytics, Nansen AI, TokenTerminal, and DappRadar. The partnership would further streamline the development of apps on Aptos (APT).
Furthermore, it could push Aptos (APT) back to the $10.00 range. APT sold at $10.24 on January 2. It fell by 19.1% to $8.2794 on January 9 before recovering by 21.0% to $10.02 on January 13. APT then fell by 9.5% to $9.0673 on January 30.
Aptos (APT) is aiming to boost DeFi activity on its network in 2024. By incorporating real-time data providers, Aptos developers can build flagship services that compete with major altcoins. This could further boost demand for Aptos’ services, potentially pushing APT up by 26.9% to $11.5073.
