Tezos (XTZ) – price prediction and outlook

Most coins did not have a good January and a fresh new month of course brings fresh optimism. Well, it seems like Tezos (XTZ) is really taking advantage of improved sentiment in the market. 

The token has been on a massive bullish uptrend over the last 7 days gaining nearly 32%. Tezos (XTZ) is also seeing decent gains in intraday trading. The coin is up around 4%. 

We have also seen an uptick of the trading volume. It’s unclear if the Manchester United deal had anything to do with this. But it is highly unlikely since the news just broke a few hours ago.

It is by far one of the most exciting tokens out there. Besides, the sponsorship deal with Manchester United is an indication that the platform is sparing no effort in expanding its reach. So, based on these fundamentals, Tezos (XTZ) will continue to grow in the long term.

Best new coins to buy in February that could grow 100x this year

The thing with crypto is that fortunes can be made overnight. We saw it last year and we will see it again in 2022. The key is to however get in on these exciting projects as early as you can. That way, you get to ride the upward momentum as you smile all the way to the bank. Here is a criterion for picking promising projects:

  • Always make sure that the coin is backed by very decent fundamentals and not just hot air and hype.

  • Preferably, get coins that are yet to be listed in some of the leading exchanges in the world.

  • Finally, follow the buzz and excitement around those projects to see if they are genuine or not.

Well, after a sad January for crypto investors, there is some hope. Here are two hot projects to buy in February.

Synthetix (SNX)

Synthetix (SNX) is an Ethereum based DeFi protocol designed to offer automated banking features. The platform utilizes smart contracts. However, what makes Synthetix (SNX) such a superb project is that it can issue a series of synthetic digital assets that can be traded and stored on the blockchain.

These synthetic assets are more like derivatives based on real-world assets like stocks. So, you get to trade a wide range of financial markets using advanced blockchain technology. Synthetix (SNX) is one of the most interesting and innovative projects in the market right now.

Pulse X

Pulse X is a Uniswap (UNI) fork designed to give PulseChain users enough liquidity and a great trading experience. It is important to note that both Pulse X and PulseChain are all projects under development. 

The hope is to have both running at the same time but we expect the PulseChain Mainnet to begin operations either this month or in early March. Also, there is already huge interest in these projects and they seem to have the decent potential for incredible returns.

Quant ( QNT) has been rallying over the last week or so. The coin managed to hit 3-week highs after losing much of its 2021 gains in January. But will this bullish uptrend bring sustained gains in the near term? Price action and analysis here below but first, some highlights:

  • At press time, QNT was trading at $126, up nearly 13% in what is the largest single-day gain this year.

  • Despite this, QNT is still below the crucial psychological zone of around $150 even with the bullish run.

  • Quant ( QNT) has been making moves in Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), something that may push prices higher.

Quant ( QNT) – Near term predictions and analysis

After losing steam at the start of 2022, it seems like Quant (QNT) is well and truly on a path of full recovery. The token has been rising for the last 4 consecutive days and is now nearly 32% up from the lowest price recorded this year. 

Despite this, QNT is still way lower than its all-time high of $325 and is yet to surge past the crucial psychological zone of $150. But things are looking good. 

In fact, recent reports indicate that the network has been making serious moves on Central Bank Digital Currencies, something that may deliver real value in the long term. We expect this bullish surge to continue in the coming days.

Why should you buy Quant (QNT)?

QNT often comes off as a very underrated and undervalued asset. With a market cap of around $1.5 billion, there is just so much room for growth here. Besides, QNT also appears to be developing its ecosystem and embracing new innovations to power its growth. If you are looking for a blockchain project that promises immense value for the future, then QNT is highly recommended.

Crypto derivatives volumes hit an all-time high in January 2022

Trading in derivatives increased 10% in  January, hitting a new high amid speculation, data highlighted by CNBC’s Kate Rooney showed.

Despite the slump in crypto prices over the last few months, data shows the trend in crypto derivatives picked up in Janaury and hit a new all-time high.

CNBC’s Kate Rooney, in an interview in which she highlighted trading volumes in the spot markets versus derivatives in January 2022, said the latter spiked as speculation increased amid a broader crypto price rout.

“The action lately has been in crypto derivatives, which tend to be more risky and speculative. Those are booming and hit a new all time high in Janaury,” she noted.

Monthly trading volume on spot markets hit above $2.5 trillion in 2021 as Bitcoin price rallied to its all-time high. However, those volumes have steadily shrunk since the November peak, with current spot volumes around

Commenting on the decline in spot volumes, the CNBC analyst said these “tend to come from the more traditional exchanges with more immediate delivery.”

Coinbase and Robinhood are good examples she explained, noting here it’s basically buying and selling Bitcoin and other listed cryptocurrencies. Crypto Compare data the analyst pointed to showed spot trading was down 30% in January when compared to monthly volume over December.

The declines put the figures at their lowest level since July when a mini-slump in crypto prices gave way to a new bull run to Bitcoin’s $69,000.

“Derivatives are picking up the slack, that could be futures or options,” she noted, adding that “volume on this side of the market” accounts for 61% of the total volume. In terms of percentage increase, derivative volumes have jumped 10% over December figures.

Traders looking to cash in on lucrative trades are behind the rise in derivative volumes, most of which is on Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange by trade volume. 

The exchange accounted for over $1.5 trillion in futures and options trades, while OKEX, FTX, Bytbit, BitMEX, and Huobi also recorded significant numbers.
