If you\u2019re interested in cryptocurrency investment this 2022, there are a wide variety of altcoins that you can consider. Indeed, according to CoinMarketCap, there are over 16,700 coins available for everyone. In this article, we\u2019ll evaluate some of the altcoins that deserve our attention during 2022.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides Bitcoin, altcoins also have a lot to offer for users and investors: smart contracts, cross-chain transactions, gaming, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs<\/a>), Decentralized Finance (DeFi<\/a>), and more are waiting for us. The future is near, and it could be very bright for crypto in 2022. Let’s check it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solana (SOL)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We start with a cryptocurrency that currently holds more than $40 billion in market cap and ranks #6 by that metric. Solana (SOL) has been one of the cryptoassets making the biggest splash in the smart contracts<\/a> industry over the past year. In 2021, its performance was better compared to competing networks like Binance Smart Chain (BNB), Avalanche (AVAX), and Polygon (MATIC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The growth of this cryptocurrency since May 2021 has been more than 26,000% <\/strong>[CoinMarketCap]. It attracted the attention of institutional investors and had a private token sale in June for $314 million. In addition, they had an $18 million fundraising in September for Solana’s DEX Orca project. Thanks to all this and its expanding ecosystem, on November 6 it had an All-Time-High (ATH)<\/a> of $260 per token.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although at the time of writing the cryptocurrency’s price dropped to $147, influenced by the current market downturn, its performance for this 2022 points to be favorable. Its users haven’t stopped growing during<\/a> the whole of 2021. This is probably because it offers a similar infrastructure to Ethereum<\/a>, but with higher speed and lower fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, Solana’s leading Dapp<\/a> is Raydium, a DEX with 252k users in the last 30 days and a volume of $42 billion. This one is closely followed by the NFT Marketplace Magic Eden, with over 192k users. The NFTs are very popular in Solana<\/strong>, to the point where their marketplaces have even surpassed some Ethereum-based ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, as of December, Solana’s futures marketplace was the third largest, surpassed only by Binance Coin (BNB<\/a>) and Terra (LUNA). For Wallet Investor<\/a>, the cryptocurrency could stand at $445 in one year, and reach $1,656 in 5 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polkadot (DOT)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The second of the altcoins to watch this 2022 stands #10 in market capitalization, with $25 billion. Its last ATH was on November 4, when it reached $54.98 per coin, and it currently sits at $26 [CoinMarketCap]. Compared to August 2021, when it was valued at $2.70, the growth of Polkadot has been over 790% to date.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polkadot’s main proposal is based on parachains (customized, standalone blockchains integrated into its main chain) and their interoperability. On November 18, 2021, auctions began to connect next March the first parachains<\/a> of this network: Acala Network, Moonbeam, Astar, Parallel, and Clover Finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analysts from Price Prediction<\/a> consider that, by 2022, this cryptocurrency will reach $45. By 2031, this price could increase to $1,305 per token.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shiba Inu (SHIB)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Altcoins-2022-Shiba-logo\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Shiba Inu, which ranks 14th in capitalization with $14 billion, was one of the cryptocurrencies that had several ATH a bit before most of the market turned bullish in November. It was trading at $0.00008616 in October and currently sits at $0.00002699 \u2014 down 68.8% since then. It might seem like an unfavorable outlook, but in November 2020 this altcoin was worth just $0.000000000056, which means an increase in value of 47,693,389.2% so far.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born as a memecoin<\/a>, this altcoin plans to implement a whole ecosystem that includes a DeFi platform on Ethereum, an NFT Marketplace, and even a charity initiative<\/a>. For this purpose, it will rely not only on the SHIB token, but also on Doge Killer (LEASH), BONE, and probably other tokens in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many users consider it a disadvantage that the original supply of Shiba is so large: 1 quadrillion (equal to 1,000 trillion). This would make it impossible for the price per coin to become high. However, by October 2021<\/a>, around 41% of this supply was already burned (put out of circulation).<\/strong> And this process continues, with several individual and corporate users burning the supply to increase the value per coin in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Probably the last example is from Bigger Entertainment, the company that burned<\/a> 1.14 billion Shiba to end the year. Besides, they’re providing the option to burn Shiba while listening to music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
