Altcoins update: Polkadot launches institutional arm, Robinhood lists SUI

  • The Polkadot Capital Group aims to bridge Web3 and TradFi.
  • Robinhood has listed Sui, enriching its exposure to retailers.
  • On-chain activity supports LINK’s momentum.

Digital assets displayed stability on Tuesday as the crypto market cap soared 1% in the past day to $3.91 trillion.

With most tokens hovering at key price levels, let’s check altcoins dominating trends with optimistic developments.

Polkadot unveils institutional arm

Polkadot has taken another step toward institutional adoption, rolling out the Polkadot Capital Group.

According to today’s press release, the new initiative will bridge the gap between Web3 and traditional finance (TradFi).

The launch is part of an ongoing trend in the blockchain sector, where leading ecosystems pursue institutional capital.

The Polkadot Capital Group introduces a platform that enables institutions to participate in blockchain advancements, ranging from infrastructure development to staking.

The group will offer comprehensive educational resources and support engagements with crucial initiatives and participants in the Polkadot ecosystem.

The initiative will back asset management, OTC trading, VC communities, exchange, banking, and allocators.

Commenting on the latest initiative, Polkadot Capital Group Lead David Sedecca said:

Our goal is to lead through data-driven education, driving adoption through knowledge transfer, and adapting in real-time to the dynamic priorities of institutional market participants. We envision a future where institutions clearly understand the unique value of our network and can engage confidently.

The move will likely bolster Polkadot’s appeal, especially if the group succeeds in inking strategic partnerships with leading fintech companies.

DOT trades at $3.86 after losing 2% in the past 24 hours, mirroring prevailing broad market weakness.

Robinhood adds SUI

The trading platform has added Sui to its product suite.

The addition opens SUI to millions of Robinhood users, bolstering its visibility and driving liquidity into the SUI ecosystem.

Sui is an L1 designed to support blockchain adoption through a powerful, scalable, and secure development platform.

It boasts over $12.5 billion in market capitalisation.

Now, Robinhood’s listing increases SUI’s visibility.

That’s crucial for adoption and blockchain’s long-term stability.

Moreover, the listing reflects Robinhood’s dedication to enriching its digital asset offerings.

The commission-free exchange houses multiple cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin.

SUI displays stability amidst the listing news. It dropped 0.30% over the past 24 hours to $3.57.

Chainlink’s bullish momentum

LINK has defied broader trends today.

It rallied to multi-month highs above $26, fueled by elevated on-chain activity.

The Chainlink Reserve, which launched early this month, has contributed to LINK’s stability in the past few sessions.

Also, the steady demand for decentralised oracle services has kept the altcoin afloat.

Chainlink positions itself as the backbone of DeFi, offering off-chain data to smart contracts.

LINK has retraced from its 24-hour peak to $24, with a 20% decline in trading volume threatening today’s gains.

However, analysts believe it’s among the top cryptocurrencies to watch this cycle.

Michael van de Poppe expects massive rallies from LINK after overcoming its prolonged downward trend, citing the Chainlink Treasury.

Meanwhile, the cryptocurrencies exhibit significant volatility as markets brace for tomorrow’s FOMC minutes and Powell’s Jackson Hole commentary on Friday.

Polygon price forecast: POL surges 6% as TVL reaches 2025 high

  • Polygon token (POL) soared as most altcoins dipped on Monday and early Tuesday.
  • While POL has given up some of the gains to $0.26, bulls appear to be in control.
  • Gains for the altcoin come as its network’s total value locked (TVL) jumped to a year-to-date high.

Polygon’s native token, POL (ex- MATIC) (POL), is one of the gainers in the past 24 hours as cryptocurrencies look to bounce off the latest dump.

Altcoins such as Chainlink and XRP are eyeing fresh gains.

While POL price has slipped from highs of $0.27, it’s currently holding above $0.25 as a potential rebound coincides with a spike in the network’s total value locked (TVL).

Polygon price today

The POL token’s price is up 3% in the past 24 hours at the time of writing, and nearly 12% in the past week.

However, intraday gains reached 6% as POL rose to $0.27, with this coming amid growth in Polygon’s ecosystem, fueled by decentralised finance activity and strategic integrations.

As the price of POL rose, Polygon’s TVL, which has jumped amid bullish momentum, topped a 43% increase year-to-date.

The TVL spiking not only reflects the price gain, but the growing adoption, user trust and capital flows.

Per Token Relations, Polygon saw its total value locked metric fall to $788 million in April.

However, the metric has since witnessed a steady climb to break above $1.23 billion as of August, highlighting the blockchain network’s appeal and attraction as a DeFi player.

Stablecoin growth

Additionally, Polygon has seen a notable spike in stablecoin use.

The recent integration of Agora’s stablecoin, AUSD, on Polygon by Miomi Game is a key development.

Miomi is a web3 esports platform that boasts over 950,000 users.

Polygon also surged to a record $2.56 billion in stablecoin payments in July, with peer-to-peer transfers rising as USDC active addresses jumped to 3.16 million.

Meanwhile, USDT supply on Polygon rose to a new high of $1.29 billion during the month.

Polygon’s surge in dApps, combined with stablecoin adoption and regulatory moves, spotlights the network’s utility.

“Why are institutions building on Polygon? Trusted infrastructure, designed for greater efficiency and ready to scale for institutional demand,” Polygon Labs recently posted on X.

Polygon price prediction

Looking at Polygon’s price charts, the overall outlook is bullish.

The network’s strategic initiatives and cross-chain interactions, which are contributing to organic growth, are evidence that bulls can establish the upper hand.

Polygon’s price surge and TVL spike allude to this. Metrics such as active addresses and transactions are key to buyers breaching the supply wall around $26 and $30.

On the flip side, bears can target the psychological support level at $20.
