## Cryptocurrency to Invest in

Picking a cryptocurrency to invest in is not difficult, because the market is full of interesting and profitable projects. At the beginning of 2022, there were over 15,000 registered crypto coins. However, before investing your money, you should also invest some time and do some research. Here is what you should check when choosing a cryptocurrency:

- Market capitalization

- Total number of coins

- Project documentation (white paper, use cases)

- The team behind the project

When you finish the check, you'll be able to make an informed decision about whether you want to invest in this cryptocurrency or not. You can choose one coin or assemble a portfolio of the selected coins, but always evaluate the balance of risks and potential profit.

One of the more reasonable options is a combined portfolio of more and less conservative coins. The conservative coins with high market capitalization pose relatively low risks and cannot bring huge profits. On the other hand, the coins with high potential are risky, the chance to lose your money is high, but the potential gain is greater.

We’ll discuss in detail the most important factors that can impact your decision.

## Market Capitalization

Market capitalization, or market cap, is the market value of a publicly-traded cryptocurrency. It calculates simply the number of coins in the turnover multiplied by the price. You do not need to use a calculator: numerous online services calculate the market cap for any coin and create a graph. 

Depending on the market cap, currencies are divided into three groups: high-caps, mid-caps, and low-caps. High-cap currencies are considered relatively conservative investment assets and low-caps with aggressive growth potential pose higher risks. Choose the appropriate risk level when choosing a cryptocurrency to invest in.

While the price of any cryptocurrency constantly changes, market capitalization is valid only at a certain date. So, check the dynamics of market cap changes, too. If the market cap decreases for some time, especially when this trend goes against the market, it means the coin price goes down, and it is likely not the best time to invest in this currency.

As of June 2022, the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization [are](https://coinmarketcap.com/):

1. Bitcoin 

2. Ethereum

3. Tether

4. USD Coin

5. BNB

## Total Coins to Be Mined and Current Supply

When choosing a cryptocurrency to invest in, check if there is a limited coin supply. For example, Bitcoin will only offer 21 million coins. At the moment of publishing, [over 19 million Bitcoins](https://www.statista.com/statistics/802775/worldwide-cryptocurrency-maximum-supply/#:~:text=Bitcoin%20has%20a%20maximum%20supply,mining%20halves%20every%20four%20years.) are already in circulation. That is why the price of Bitcoin tends to grow despite the temporary decrease. 

The simplest law of supply and demand balance works for cryptocurrencies: the lower the supply, the higher the price. The demand for Bitcoin is constantly growing and the supply is shrinking, so it will restore its position soon.

On the flip side, an unlimited supply can kill a coin. The recent downfall of the LUNA coin can prove this. Trying to protect the token from collapse, the owners decided to [increase the basic pool from $50,000 to $100,000 ](https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2022/05/12/terra-proposes-token-burn-and-increase-in-pool-size-to-stop-ust-dilution/)and issue a volume of new tokens correspondingly. As a result, the price of LUNA dropped down and the project collapsed.

So, the possibility of the unlimited token issue increases the risks for the chosen cryptocurrency. It does not mean you should dismiss this currency at once, but keep this detail in mind.

## White Paper for Cryptocurrency

A White Paper is the main document of any crypto project. Sometimes it is called non-advertising marketing material, but its functions are wider than simply marketing. A white paper can include all the details about a project. Some of the possible chapters in a white paper are:

- Main idea: which problem can be solved with this project

- Project philosophy: mission, vision, main values, and so on

- Development roadmap: main stages, milestones, and interim deadlines

- Research results: if the project is based on research, the white paper is the right document to share the results with future investors

- Technical details that can be disclosed

- Upper-level financial details.

There is no single standard of a good white paper. Usually, it is a long document with many graphs, tables, and images, similar to an e-Book.

The central part of the white paper is the project idea. Check it: does it sound realistic? Will it be in demand? 

Sometimes the technical concept behind a crypto project is too complex and cannot be easily explained. In this case, a good white paper provides a brief and simple abstract to explain the idea of a project. 

Formatting is rather an important part of the white paper. The document should be well-structured, with headers and subheaders, and easy navigation in the document. All parts of the white paper should focus on the same topic. The text should be easily-readable and proofread.

Thus, a good white paper should be an informative, readable, and well-illustrated document. But how does it help to choose a cryptocurrency? 

When choosing a cryptocurrency to invest in, an investor should avoid scams and underage projects. Usually, scammers do not invest in a good white paper. Their documents are short and primitive; descriptions are limited to common phrases without technical details, research results, or graphs. 

However, real projects may also have a poor whitepaper. It is also a sign for an investor. If the project owners cannot explain their idea in one document, how will they earn money and return the investments? This project is not mature enough and can collapse at any moment. 

So, if you see a poor-quality white paper of the project behind some cryptocurrency, it is a marker of higher risk and a reason to move this currency lower in your list.

## Use Cases

If the white paper presents the general vision of the project, the use cases demonstrate the results of its practical implementation. A use case is a description of a problem and solution, and its further impact. The use cases help an investor to understand the fundamentals of the chosen coin and its future potential. 

One of the most popular use cases is the [ERC-20 token by Ethereum](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/standards/tokens/erc-20/). Ethereum developed and launched the universal standard for crypto tokens and made it open-source. ERC-20 is simple enough for easy use. Besides, the source code is compatible with the most popular programming languages. So, many crypto developers used it to create tokens for their projects.

As a result, the Ethereum network attracted hundreds of large and small decentralized apps. Moreover, it popularized the idea of crypto businesses and smart contracts. Many other crypto ecosystems like Cosmos started their development. Smart contracts also became popular, and now we use smart contracts for many deals and purchases. So, the universal standard of a token pushed forward the development of the crypto community. 

Another successful use case is digitalized metals. Asset-based tokens work as contracts, granting the ownership of gold and silver to the traders. The token is easy to use and impossible to change after the signing of a contract, so many investors prefer metal tokens to standard contracts.

So, a reliable cryptocurrency that is worth investing in should have use cases that demonstrate how it works. The absence of use cases is not a great problem – sometimes a team has not had enough time to publish them. However, the use case should be considered one of the factors that impact your decision to invest in a coin.

## Check Whether the Team Is Credible

Imagine you are hiring a key employee for your business. It seems natural to check their background, education, previous experience, references, and recommendations. An investor should spend some time and check the team of a chosen crypto project.

If a team does not reveal their names, it is a very bad sign. It can mean the project is fake, the team is non-professional, or there are some infamous names. What would you say if you saw Elizabeth Holmes among the team members?

The crypto market, actually, is rather small, so prominent people get known very quickly. Checking a team for names is necessary - and then check them all separately, their profiles on different sites, and relevant information about them. 

## The Team Are Those Who Move the Project Forward

If you have the names of a team or the largest investors of the project, do a check. Here is a brief list of possible questions:

- Do you know these people? Have you heard about this team or its members before?
- Can you Google them? What is the result?

- Do key team members have a relevant background? Can they do the job they promise to do for this project?

- Do they have a track record of success?

- Do they look ambitious enough to finish the project and not step back with the first obstacle?

- Do you trust and believe them?

Spending enough time looking for the answers to these questions is, probably, the most important stage of the decision-making process. The team is key to project success – or failure. It is key to the return on your investments.

Sometimes the people behind the project are more important than all other factors put together. Take the meme crypto coin Dogeсoin as an example. This coin could have remained just a joke. However, the involvement of Elon Musk attracted attention to this coin and it skyrocketed. The experts do not believe in its longevity, but before its collapse, many short-term investors will have earned a good profit on trading it.

 With prices plummeting from their November highs, is it time to buy crypto?

## What Is Tether?

Tether is a stable coin that maintains a 1:1 peg. It is one of the most famous cryptocurrencies and has a high market capitalization. It is the world's first and most used stable coin at the moment despite its controversies. A coin is said to be stable when its value is tied to an outside asset or commodity, which helps stabilize the price and lowers the volatility. Tether being linked to the US dollar very much secures that reputation. This means the value of one Tether can be approximated to one USD.

The existing cryptocurrencies had two significant issues: their high volatility and convertibility. Tether was introduced as a stable valuation coin to resolve this issue. As we can trade one Tether for one USD irrespective of the market conditions, the pressing volatility issues are solved, attracting more investors.

Today, financial institutions are keen on adding cryptocurrencies to their balance sheet. Owing to its low-risk profile, Tether is one of the most popular and widely used cryptocurrencies. As per November 2021 Sensex, around 61% of the stable coin market comprises Tether USDT.

## How Does Tether Work?
 
The operations of Tether begin when a user deposits a Fiat currency in Tether's reserve. Hence, when such a thing occurs, the requested amount of tokens is minted and sufficient dollars held as reserves are transferred to the USDT reserve vault. 

Once this transaction is completed, the user will be issued digital tokens of Tether, which can be either stored, sent, or exchanged. Since Tether is a digital currency, it can be redeemed anytime. For every Tether USDT, an equivalent amount of one US Dollar will be stored in the Tether reserve.

For example, a user will be issued 1000 Tether tokens when he deposits 1000 USD in the Tether reserve. The user can redeem these 1000 tokens against the fiat currency at any time.

## Is USDT Safe? 

The notion of "safety" is subjective and varies depending on the level of risk an investor is willing to take.

USDT Tether is one of the safest means of storing money in the form of crypto. Holding a market capitalization of almost $74 billion, it holds the position as the top stable coin in the crypto market. USDT is the most traded stable coin with high liquidity, making it one of the safest stable coins.

Tether reports that since 2015 it has never failed to process a redemption request of $1 per USD token. In terms of market capitalization, USDT is the sole winner.

During the bear market in 2018, Tether was one of the safest havens for investors as those investors holding unstable currencies suffered huge losses.

Tether only issues tokens to investors who have completed their KYC procedure. Tether is the most actively traded crypto asset in a 24-hour period.

 ### A Brief History of Tether
 
We can date back the origin of Tether to July 2014. Brock Pierce, Craig Sellars, and Reeve Collins, the founders of Tether, initially named it a 'Real coin'. Bitfinex, a cryptocurrency exchange based out of Hong Kong owns Tether Operations Limited.

As it was difficult for the exchanges and companies to hold sovereign currency, commonly known as Fiat money, the need for Tether came into existence.

The exchanges must have a license to hold Fiat money. The users also demanded a platform where they could quickly move between Fiat and Crypto money, which resulted in the invention of Tether tokens.

The actual coin is a dollar-backed digital currency that enables the smooth transfer of Fiat currencies in the blockchain network. The first six tokens were issued on the Bitcoin Blockchain on 6th October 2014 using the Omni layer protocol. The coin was rebranded as Tether (USDT) on 20th November 2014. During this time, the company entered into private beta to support Tether for three currencies: Dollars, Euros, and Japanese Yen. There was also an announcement indicating that Tether can be redeemed at any time and that they are not exposed to exchange risk.

When its first token was distributed in 2015, Tether revolutionized the market and proved hugely successful.

Since then, Tether has gained popularity and launched many tokens. Today, looking at market capitalization, Tether is the third-largest cryptocurrency in the world, owing to its expansion in numerous blockchains. During the 2018 Sensex, conducted in the summer, we can note that Tether accounted for 80% of the Bitcoin Volume.

## Tether Has Had Legal Troubles
 
- In New York, BitFinex, the parent company of Tether, was fined 18.5 million USD for breach of regulation and was subsequently banned from the operations.

- Tether fails to share information about the commercial papers that back up the currency.

- A class action was filed against Tether in June 2020, where Tether was accused of manipulating markets, but the case has not yet been heard in court.

- There is no legal proof of an audit being conducted to ensure that US Dollars are issued against Tether.

## How Is Tether Backed?

Paolo Ardoino, Tether's chief technology officer, stated that Tether is fully backed up by strong, conservative, and liquid reserves. All the USDTs are backed by a real, lively dollar, safely deposited in a bank account.

The report on 31st December 2021 noted that out of the 78.6 billion dollars in tether reserves, 44% is placed in short-term US Government bills, most commonly called treasury bills. 9% of the reserves are held in bank and money market funds. 31% of the reserves are held in short-term corporate bonds. These include commercial papers with a very high-reliability rating. The balance of 16% of the reserves is loaned to undisclosed firms and vague investments.

## Tether vs Bitcoin

Although both Bitcoin and Tether are digital currencies, they have notable differences. Understanding the unique features of both currencies is essential to trade and effectively gain the maximum from the crypto market.

- Tether is a stable coin tied to a real-life commodity, while Bitcoin is not linked to any real-world commodity.

- Bitcoins are highly volatile, but Tether has low volatility, which helps them preserve their value during downtrends. 

- It is advisable to use Tether only for short-term trade objectives, whereas we can invest in Bitcoin even for high-risk interest rates.

- While Tethers have a decentralized technology, Bitcoins have a centralized network that pegs them against dollars.

- The price of Tether always equals one dollar, while the price of a Bitcoin is affected by multiple factors and is unstable.

- Bitcoins have an unprecedented level of transparency which is not found in Tethers.

- Bitcoin can drive the prices of other cryptocurrencies during the uptrends, which is impossible with a stable currency like Tether.

- Bitcoin has huge trading pairs as they are the pivotal point through which all the cryptocurrencies are traded; while Tether only has a few trading pairs. We can trade Bitcoin against more than 100 coins, while Tether allows us to trade only with 18 to 24 different pairs.

- People have high trust in Bitcoin owing to their decentralization, irrespective of the increased risk compared to a centralized Tether.

- While Bitcoin is not suitable for day-to-day transactions, Tether is a perfect option do so.

- Tether has a lower transaction fee when compared to Bitcoin.

- In the peer-to-peer lending platforms, Tether can earn a higher interest rate than Bitcoin.

## Is Tether a Good Investment?

As Tether mitigates the risk of volatility, it creates more value. Many investors who hold back fearing risky investments can use Tether as a store of value. In a highly volatile crypto market, Tether ensures liquidity. Tether also helps in the easy swapping of cryptocurrencies.

Tether has a high remittance power. Even if the crypto market crashes one day, Tether can easily be encashed as it is pegged to a real-life commodity, safeguarding the interest of the investors.

Tether can be exchanged anywhere in the world quickly and with a lower transfer cost compared to banks and other financial institutions. Tether provides stability and flexibility to its investor's portfolios.

Although Tether is not suitable for an investor looking for long-term investment and earning yields from capital appreciation, today, several lending platforms, exchanges, and wallets pay a high-interest rate to store Tether USDT on their platforms.

## Disclaimer
 
Cryptocurrencies are rapidly gaining popularity. The Government formulates many new regulations to regulate the crypto markets. Compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum, Tether is the most traded cryptocurrency today. Due to its stability, Tether changed how people view cryptocurrencies. Tether is the sole reason many investors started entering the crypto market. Since one USDT always equals one US Dollar, Tether can only be used as a store of value and is ideal for investors looking for capital appreciation. However, if an investor is looking for a short-term investment with minimal risk, Tether is the most effective option. We can buy Tether on major cryptocurrency exchanges and leading platforms. Tether tokens allow the customers to transact across different blockchains without any of the complexities usually associated with digital tokens. For these reasons, it is worthwhile to consider investing in Tether.

Tether (USDT) is a popular stablecoin that crypto enthusiasts have used for years to leverage their cryptocurrency trades. As such, it serves multiple purposes in the market making it a core cryptocurrency in many investor strategies. 

## Theta Price Prediction

You’ve probably heard of Theta Network, the innovative blockchain-based video delivery network being developed by the SMLY team to enable next-generation peer-to-peer video streaming and reduce costs across content distribution networks like Youtube. 

But how will this project fare in 10 years? In this article, we’ll predict the future price of the Theta coin and draw some conclusions on whether it would be a good investment or not.

## What Is Theta Cryptocurrency?

Theta is a decentralised video delivery network, powered by users. Users contribute their idle bandwidth, storage, and processing power to deliver low-latency, high-quality video streams. 

Theta tokens (THETA) are used to reward users who relay video streams and provide other services that enable the operation of the network. They are also used as access fees when consuming content or subscriptions on Theta blockchain applications such as SLIVER.tv. 

The Theta Network team includes streaming broadcasting experts with over 30 years of experience, as well as highly trained personnel in blockchain technology, digital assets, and strategic and technological growth.

Big names like Samsung and Sony can be found among the partners, while personalities like Steven Chen, co-founder of YouTube, and Justin Chan, co-founder of Twitch can be found among the advisers.

## What Is Fuel Cryptocurrency?

Fuel is an ERC20 token built on top of Ethereum which will be required in order to use dApps developed using Theta Labs’ SDK. It is also required for peer-to-peer transactions in Theta Network ever since the coin was launched. 

By purchasing fuel from others with THETA, developers can monetize their application or service without requiring end-users to purchase THETA directly from exchanges if they do not want to hold THETA themselves. 

This allows developers to focus on building great experiences instead of acquiring customers. 

As more people join Theta Network and become active users, demand for THETA should increase because there will be more people transacting across the Theta Network. As demand increases, so should the price. 

See Theta Fuel Price prediction here. 

## How to Buy Theta Coins

As of now, you cannot buy Theta directly. Thus, to acquire Theta coins, you must complete the following steps:

First, acquire another cryptocurrency; for example, you can buy Ethereum (ETH) as it is an ERC20 token

To buy the crypto, either use a cryptocurrency exchange or create a wallet and buy ETH directly through a service like Coinbase

Once you have ETH, you will be able to purchase Theta tokens on exchanges such as Binance or KuCoin

Store your Theta coins in any desktop or mobile wallet compatible with Ethereum-based tokens, for example, MyEtherWallet (has great accessibility and a user-friendly interface)

You can also choose to store your Theta coins offline using a hardware wallet like Trezor or Ledger Nano S. While some people may opt to hold their Theta long term, others may choose to trade them. To do so, sign up for trading accounts on popular exchanges such as Bittrex or Poloniex.

## Theta Price History

A project called Silver.tv was established in 2015. It was well-funded, and in the meantime, a video-streaming service was also launched. THETA tokens were first offered for sale in 2017. Tokens were added to the Silver.tv platform the following year.

Theta’s initial coin offering (ICO) ended on January 4, 2018, with the project raising the $20 million target. The THETA token was first priced at $0.1117. There were 750 million coins produced in total. 

It was first listed on CoinMarketCap on January 17, 2018, with an initial price of $0.15. Since its launch, Theta Token experienced steady growth in both value and popularity. In its first year of existence, it reached a peak market cap of just over $1 billion. 

As of May 2019, that figure came close to $150 million. At that time, it ranked among some of the most valuable coins in existence (at more than double Ripple’s market cap). However, since then, Theta Token’s price started decreasing steadily in recent months. 

At the start of 2020, the price of Theta fell to $0.122. By the end of the year, however, it had recovered to $1.61. It peaked at $13.40 in April 2021 after which it fell again and fluctuated heavily. 

This can be attributed to a number of factors, including an overall decline in cryptocurrency prices across the board. It also may have something to do with Theta Token’s failure to achieve widespread adoption or clear use cases. 

To better understand whether you should invest in Theta or not, keep reading to see our price predictions for the upcoming years. 

## Theta Forecast for Long Term

The future of the THETA coin’s price is questionable. Some analysts believe it will climb, but the time and consistency are unknown. 

If you own Theta currently, it’s best to wait out 2022 before selling. Some investors even believe it's a great time to buy more since the market has hit a new low and can only go upward from this point on. 

According to certain experts, THETA can reach even 100 USD by the end of the decade, but none believe that it can go higher than this. While the price projections for the THETA coin are hopeful, it is worth noting that it may take some time. 

It is also important to note that crypto forecasts are frequently incorrect, so if you own THETA, you will likely have to be patient if you want to earn anything in the long run, and that too is not guaranteed.

## Theta Price Prediction 2022

Here is a comparison of what industry experts expect Theta to be valued at by December 2022: 

Crypto Ground: Forecasted a price of $5.72 by December 2022 using their own algorithm

Trading Beasts: Predicts a price of roughly $4.87912 by year-end, which is contradictory to Crypto Ground

CryptoNewsZ: Forecasts that this coin will peak at $4.63 in 2022. The THETA price is expected to reach $3.16 before December 2022, according to coin price predictions. 

Wallet Investor: Anticipates a bearish trend for the rest of 2022, with the price of Theta remaining under a dollar in the second half of the year

As you can see, despite using various prediction tools and algorithms, each platform has a different outcome. Thus, it’s best to look at long-term trends to see whether the coin will be worth the investment or not. 

## Theta Crypto Price Prediction 2025

Several pundits believe that the year 2025 will be a good year for Theta Network. The world economy will most certainly recover from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic in that year, allowing for widespread acceptance of Theta remedies. Here’s what they have to say:

CryptoNewsZ: Forecasts a maximum THETA price of $7.30 in this scenario. 

Gov.Capital: Predicts that the price of this coin can reach $36.433 in 2025. 

Digital Coin: Anticipates a maximum THETA price of $6.71 by the end of 2025

Coin Price: Predicts a high of $4.96 by the year-end

## Theta Price Prediction 2030

Unfortunately, due to the ongoing volatility of the crypto market, experts have not yet come up with a price prediction for the Theta coin 8 years from now. Because of the unpredicted fluctuations, it is best to wait until the market is stable in order to make accurate predictions. 

## Should You Invest in Theta?

Theta Fuel seems to be on everyone’s radar right now, but is it a good time to buy? It’s difficult to tell. The developers are saying that in less than ten years, you could make $1,000 off of your investment in Theta Fuel. 

However, there are also a few reasons why you might not want to hold onto your Theta Fuel or invest in it at all: 

You can get better returns by investing in other, well-established cryptocurrencies such as BTC or ETH

Theta Fuel doesn’t have any real-world use cases yet and may never have any real-world use cases. If it doesn’t ever have any real-world use cases, then what exactly will its value be based on? 

Despite these negative aspects of Theta’s price prediction, it's hard to rely on them since the entire crypto market has been crashing in recent months. As of June 2022, Bitcoin crashed heavily and is worth only $25,000, almost half of its peak price. 

## What is the Future of the Theta coin? 

Theta price prediction is something that has proved to be very difficult to achieve over time as there have been numerous FUDs, creating a sort of uncertainty concerning how things will go. 

However, with careful research, it has become easy enough to understand what is going on. For starters, we can see that Theta Fuel price prediction is something that has attracted a lot of people’s attention and interest due to its listing on Binance, one of the globally leading crypto exchanges.

Thus, Theta can be a profitable investment option. Theta price was equal to 2.427 USD at the end of 2017. Our current Theta price prediction of $1000 for the end of 2022 is 1400 coins, which means that for 1000 USD you can purchase 1400 THETA coins.

## Solana Price Prediction

Though Solana (SOL) launched back in March 2020, it’s only in recent months that the crypto coin has begun to pick up steam. SOL’s lightning speed blast-off into popularity has drawn in even more investors who have gone on to discover all the cryptocurrency it has to offer. With its stellar functionality and usability, the Solana network seems to be a promising investment option for crypto consumers.

But just how well is Solana expected to perform over the coming years? While it’s impossible to exactly predict the future of cryptocurrency, or any asset for that matter, potential investors can still make use of price predictions to see whether they think SOL is worth putting money into.

This article will offer a prediction of Solana’s performance in the coming years. By its very nature, price forecasting is far from precise. But, if you’re trying to decide what cryptocurrencies to invest in to make a little extra income, our analysts can hopefully help provide you with some guidance.

## What Is SOL Crypto?

Before we really sink our teeth into the topic of SOL crypto price prediction, it’s worth explaining Solana a little further first. So, what is it, and what’s made it so popular?

With a throughput of roughly 50,000 transactions per second, the Solana blockchain network is largely known for its speed and efficiency. It operates using a proof-of-history consensus mechanism, which uses cryptography to record all transactions, allowing for its rapid processing times.

Thanks to its 500 nodes, Solana benefits from a greater degree of decentralization than other blockchain networks. Furthermore, when compared to other digital currencies, SOL has a relatively low entry barrier, only requiring between $3,000 and $4,000 worth of hardware to build a node.

As well as being fast and functional, Solana boasts one of the lowest transaction fees out there, sitting at around $0.00025.

The Solana network has a range of functions but is an especially popular choice for building decentralized applications (DApp) and building smart contracts. SOL is a popular choice for hosting NFT markets and decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, as well.

## How to Buy Solana?

Since most exchanges list it, Solana is relatively easy to purchase. Some of the most popular crypto exchanges with SOL listings include Coinbase, Kraken and Binance, but due to its popularity, it’s listed on many more. 

You can purchase SOL using either fiat currencies or other kinds of crypto. Simply add your preferred payment method to your cryptocurrency exchange of choice, decide how much Solana you’d like to buy, then go ahead and make your transaction.

Before purchasing Solana or any other type of cryptocurrency, make sure you’ve done thorough research into its market performance and predicted value. Remember, ill-thought-out investment plans can result in you losing capital down the line.

## Solana Price History

Solana saw its launch in March 2020, having been in development since 2017. However, the coin didn’t begin to gain traction until almost a whole year later. Throughout 2021, the coin steadily rose in popularity, climbing higher and higher up the market capitalization rankings. In February 2021, SOL sat at position forty-two on the market cap rankings list. By September, just seven months later, it had risen to seventh place.

In the spring of 2021, the crypto market saw a drastic decline. Solana wasn’t as adversely affected as other coins, however; quickly after it recovered, SOL continued to rise in value throughout the rest of the year.

As of June 2022, analysis from Yahoo! Finance shows that SOL is currently ninth in crypto market rankings.

## Solana Forecast for Long Term

Having explained a little about Solana and its price history, we’ll now move on to consider how the cryptocurrency may go on to perform in the future. In the rest of this article, we’ll discuss the SOL price prediction for the rest of 2022, 2025, and 2030.

Keep in mind that these are just predictions. No matter how sound the underlying method is, no price forecast can be guaranteed one hundred percent accurate. 

## SOL Price Prediction 2022

The recent technical analysis estimates that Solana will see a minimum price of $25.71 in 2022, while the maximum price for the year is forecasted to be $54.83. The average price for 2022 is estimated to sit at around $41.22. 

There is a wide range of Solana price predictions for 2022, with some analysts favoring more bullish predictions of $100 or more. However, most investors offer more conservative—though still promising—figures.

## SOL Price Prediction 2025

Solana price predictions for 2025 remain positive. Analysts estimate that the coin will see a minimum value of $83.32, while the maximum is expected to be $186.66. Solana’s average price for 2025 is predicted to be around $125.53.

Again, some predictions out there are more or less favorable of Solana’s likely performance in 2025. Keep in mind that forecasting cryptocurrency prices is not an exact science.

## SOL Price Prediction 2030

Analysts expect that crypto will continue to perform well in the run-up to 2030. In 2030, investors expect that Solana will trade at a minimum price of $1,177.07, but at a maximum price of $1,348.61. Based on these numbers, the average price of SOL for the year 2030 will probably be about $1,208.77.

We encourage you to continue to do your own research into the forecasted value of Solana in 2030 and to evaluate your sources with a critical eye. As we draw closer to 2030 and see how well forecasts for 2022 and 2025 hold up, we should have a better sense of Solana price predictions for 2030.

## Solana NFT Marketplace 

In April 2022, SOL investors had some good news. Leading non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace OpenSea had integrated support for SOL into their platform, marking a change in fortune for SOL tokens. In a matter of months, Solana became the fourth-largest blockchain on the platform, following Ethereum, Polygon, and Klaytn.

Magic Eden is the most popular Solana-based NFT marketplace. The platform was only launched in September 2021, yet in June 2022 it managed to raise around $130 million at a $1.6 billion valuation. 

The popularity of Magic Eden helps ensure the ongoing relevance of the SOL token. However, its status as the dominant Solana NFT market is now being challenged by the OpenSea integration. This level of competition paints a promising picture of the future of Solana-based NFTs.

## What is the Future of the Solana coin? 

It is impossible to predict exactly the future of SOL. However, given its impressive performance and rapid rate of growth, it’s not altogether unreasonable to assume that the cryptocurrency will continue to do well moving forward. Certainly, this is the hope of the many people who have jumped about the Solana coin train so far.

That being said, there are both bullish and bearish predictions out there for the future of Solana. It’s important to keep in mind that, as useful as it is to analyze market charts and historical data, no amount of research can guarantee an accurate prediction of the future. At the same time, though, it’s far wiser to make investment decisions based on some form of analysis than on nothing at all.

2022 has not been an easy year for cryptocurrency in general—however, the crypto market has seen similar declines before and has still bounced back. There is every likelihood that it will in this case, as well, and that we will see Solana go from strength to strength.

Going forward, it will be wise to keep an eye on Solana’s progress if you are interested in investing in it. On our website, we make it easy to monitor the performance of some of the crypto market’s most popular tokens.

## Best Penny Cryptocurrency

With each passing day, more and more people are becoming interested in cryptocurrency. Today's most successful investors are continually on the lookout for opportunities to grow their portfolios' equity. Furthermore, the best investors have diversified portfolios.

It is common for consumers to look for low-cost alternatives to invest in, which has led to a rise in demand for penny cryptocurrencies.

The term "penny cryptocurrency" refers to digital assets that can be purchased for as little as a few cents (less than $5) per unit. Due to their small market capitalization (though this isn't always the case), penny cryptocurrencies are high-risk investments. The benefit of investing in penny cryptocurrencies is that you don't require a large sum of money.

Nevertheless, the goal of every investment is to generate a return on its initial investment over time. Therefore, if you are interested in trying your hand with penny cryptocurrencies, you should prioritise those that have the potential for value growth within a decent period of time. However, that’s not an easy task. The potential of a cryptocurrency is heavily influenced by a wide range of circumstances. The project's technical competency, the development team, and the resulting buzz all play a part in its success.

Investing in the right penny cryptocurrency could result in a bigger return on your investment (ROI). In other words, what's the best penny cryptocurrency to invest in right now? We've compiled a list of the top penny cryptocurrencies to invest in to assist you in making better investment decisions.

## 1. Shiba Inu (SHIB)

In 2021, Shiba Inu has performed exceptionally well in terms of price performance. Dogecoin was released in August 2020. On August 12, 2020, the price of one SHIB coin was $0.000000000157. Things took a dramatic turn in May 2021 after a spike in prices. On May 9th, the price of one SHIB coin was $0.00003503. An all-time high price of $0.00008845 was set on October 28, 2021, for Shiba Inu.

The current value of a SHIB coin is $0.000000037. However, interest in this cryptocurrency appears to be growing rather than fading. Shiba Inu's association with Dogecoin (DOGE) may have contributed to the cryptocurrency's rise in popularity. SHIB has become the 13th most valuable cryptocurrency on the market as a result of the rush of new investors.

For Shiba Inu's success, publicity has also been an important ingredient. You can't expect to make a profit by holding this coin for a long period. When celebrities like Elon Musk tweet about how much they love the product they're selling, we notice an increase in the price. Followed by enormous price revisions. However, the Shiba Inu could revive in 2022.

## 2. VeChain (VET)

The VeChain project is one of the most sophisticated blockchain projects to date. It tries to address several critical supply chain issues. Supply chains will become more efficient, traceable and transparent thanks to VeChain's blockchain technology. It has been a challenging year for the supply chain industry. As a result, there has been an increase in public interest in projects like VeChain

Two coins make up the VeChain platform: VET and VTHO. VET tokens are traded on exchanges for speculative purposes. Additionally, the blockchain is used for staking and governance on the network, as well. In the year 2021, this token performed admirably.

On April 17, 2021, the VET token reached an all-time high price of $0.2782. As recently as July 19, the token's value decreased to $0.05783. It was trading at $0.1757 on November 7. VET tokens are now trading at $0.096 per token. A new all-time high might be hit in 2022 for the 32nd-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

## 3. Stellar (XLM)

One of the most impressive blockchain-based payment systems is Stellar. As a peer-to-peer payment system, Bitcoin is the oldest and most widely used system. However, it was only a matter of time before other projects would appear that could process transactions more quickly. One such project is Stellar, which provides lightning-fast digital coin remittances.

Stellar has built one of the most advanced payment systems in the world since its foundation. In addition, it has formed strategic alliances with some of the biggest names in the crypto and traditional finance worlds.

Stellar's native token, XLM, supports multi-currency payments. During the bull run in crypto in 2017-2018, it reached its all-time price high. On January 4, 2018, it hit a peak of $0.9381. For the next two and a half years, XLM's price fluctuated modestly. On May 10, 2021, the price of XLM rose to $0.73, with a strongly rising trend.

Despite the token's current price of $0.28 at the time of writing, a new boom is very likely in 2022. According to market capitalization, this cryptocurrency is ranked 27th.

## 4. Cardano (ADA)

A prominent blockchain platform for the development of decentralised applications, Cardano is an excellent choice (DApps). It has used a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus process effectively. In September 2021, this platform began delivering decentralised financial (Defi) services, which use smart contracts. ADA, the company's native token, can be staked to earn interest.

In 2017, ADA was introduced. During the bull run in crypto in 2017-2018, it performed well in terms of price. However, it didn't last long. For nearly three years, ADA did not perform well. However, ADA's value has risen rapidly since the beginning of 2021. On September 2, 2021, it reached an all-time high price of $3.10.

At the time of this writing, the ADA price is $1.35, however, it is still the 6th largest cryptocurrency by market cap. As a result, a significant increase is expected in 2022.

## 5. Hedera (HBAR)

Hedera is a public network that enables anyone to build decentralised apps of their design (DApps). The hashgraph consensus mechanism is introduced by this platform. Instability and slowness are no longer problems for Hedera because of this breakthrough. Using the hashgraph consensus process, 10,000 transactions can be completed in just one second.

Services like smart contracts are powered by the platform's native coin, which is called HBAR. Staking helps to keep the network safe. Before 2021, HBAR's share price did not perform well. As a result, this token's value has reached an all-time high price this year. On September 16, HBAR was trading at $0.5701.

In 2022, the HBAR price is expected to reach a new all-time high. By market capitalization, HBAR is the 38th most valuable cryptocurrency.

Best Penny Cryptocurrency to Invest In

 The best cryptocurrencies to buy in 2022 in terms of high growth potential. In this article, you will get to know how to spot the most promising penny cryptos, as well as where and how to buy them. 

## Terra (LUNA) - What Caused the Collapse?

At the beginning of May 2022, the crypto market drastically fell. In a week Bitcoin lost more than 1/3 of its value, and the price dropped from $39 000 to $26 000 — the lowest level since July 2021. All other coins also dropped. Many investors lost their savings; many companies faced asset inflation.

Of course, there are fundamental factors behind this fall — the global crisis, slower economic growth, and a fall in the main stock indices. However, on May 8th one more factor added to the global fall — a collapse of algorithmic stable coin UST and high-capitalized token LUNA. Almost nobody expected LUNA to be a scam. Together with their assets and investments, people lost confidence in stable coins.

## Terra (LUNA) - What Has Happened?

Cryptocurrencies are high-risk assets. High crypto market volatility can crash the price of almost any token in some days or even hours. To limit the volatility and attract investors, the crypto market offered stable coins. With stable coins, investors can have digital money outside the traditional financial system but with all the benefits of crypto money.

_Stable coins are digital money pegged to fiat money, commodities, or another cryptocurrency._

Terra ecosystem, a product of South Korean-based Terraform Labs, was launched in 2019. As a platform, Terra issued several stable coins pegged to various fiat currencies, including USD (the coin name is UST). A native Terra cryptocurrency LUNA should guarantee stability to the system: by selling LUNA, Terra attracted funds into the system to support stable coins and prevent depegging.

Just before the collapse, Terra won second place by TVL, just after Ethereum. 

_TVL - Total Value Locked, a measure that shows the cost of cryptocurrency locked in smart contracts, is a way to measure a DeFi platform capitalization._

Anchor protocol, a flagman project for Terra blockchain, was in third place in the DeFi Llama rating. Simply, the protocol offered rewards for the investments. It functioned as a bank deposit but offered higher interests because of its decentralized Terra nature.

In one week in May, the situation changed: UST lost its peg to USD, and related token Luna lost 99.9% of its value and was delisted and then stopped.

## Terra Dragged Down Bitcoin and the Whole Crypto Market

At the beginning of May, the Anchor protocol decreased the interest rate to 18% from 20%. When the interest rate decreased, many users started to withdraw funds. In one day, from the 7th to the 8th of May, the deposit volume in Anchor decreased by 16%, from 14 to 11.7 billion UST.

On 8th May, when the UST price was $0,98, representatives of Polygon and Curve Finance reported on the unusual moves. Terraform Labs withdrew 150 million UST from Curve. Then the unknown user transferred over 84 million UST to the Ethereum network and sold it, which resulted in a market panic. Finally, Terraform Labs took over an additional 100 million UST from Curve. 

To support the liquidity of UST, Luna Foundation Guard (LFG) provided two loans - $750 million in Bitcoin and $750 million in a stable coin. Unfortunately, these moves were not praised by the market. Following the crash of UST, the crypto market moved down. BTC tested the support level at $30 000. Most altcoins have fallen even faster. The market was in a panic.

Several organizations that supported the Terra ecosystem provided more funds — up to $2 billion — to support UST. LFG also tried to attract additional funds for system stabilization but failed. As a result, on May 10 UST price fell to $0.62, and the next day it reached $0.23.

On May 11 Do Kwon, Terraform Labs’ CEO, released the revival plan for UST. All UST holders can change it to 1:$1 in Luna and the issue of the LUNA token should be increased to meet the demand. After that the price of LUNA dropped below $0.50, UST continued moving down, and Anchor token, related to the Anchor project, also collapsed. 

At this point, the crypto exchange service started delisting LUNA. No supporting measures could help. Investors continued money withdrawal from the Terra ecosystem, and the price of LUNA crashed.

## LUNA Crash - a Scam, an Error, or the Result of an Attack?

It would be a mistake to say that no one expected a surprise from LUNA and UST. For example, FreddieRaynolds in the last months of 2021 wrote a series of tweets about the vulnerability of Terra to well-planned attacks with the use of significant capital.

[FreddieRaynolds](https://twitter.com/FreddieRaynolds) is a Twitter user who writes about crypto. 

Now FreddieRaynolds celebrates he is right and asks for apologies from Do Kwon, who keeps silent.

Let us discuss some hypotheses about the possible reasons for the LUNA crash.

### LUNA scam: a new type of Ponzi scheme

One of the crypto users with the nickname Hase mentioned that Terra is a Ponzi scheme worse than BitConnect.

BitConnect was an open-source cryptocurrency that appeared to be a Ponzi scheme. 

Skeptics noticed that the principles of Anchor protocol looked like a Ponzi scheme — a high-yield investment project which pays interest to early clients with money of second-wave clients. The end of the Ponzi scheme is always the same: the benefiter(s) takes funds away and disappears. However, the evangelists of Anchor protocol claimed it was not a fraudulent scheme but the power of the DeFi system.

A Ponzi scheme does not require using reserve funds and other stabilizing measures. Moreover, the founders of Ponzi schemes usually disappear with all their money. Do Kwon stays home and tries to find solutions and compensate for the losses to the community.

### An Error in the Algorithm?

Perhaps FreddieRaynolds is really right and the Terra system is vulnerable to well-planned attacks. UST was close to depeg before, but the system survived the first attempt to hack it. The attackers probably accumulated more funds to break it. Let us remind you of the story of George Soros, a billionaire, philanthropist, and market maker.

### George Soros Attack

One day George Soros hacked the bank system of the United Kingdom. He started the rumor among the market players that the British pound will collapse soon. Then he started selling large volumes of GBP.

The price of GBP moved down and many investors started to panic because they decided it was a collapse. They started selling GBP, too, and Soros could buy GBP for a low price. Then the British government intervened in the market and made the pound restore its value with a loss of 15%. George Soros earned more than 1 billion in a day. 

Since that time this type of market attack has been called by the name of Soros.

### Did Luna Fall Victim to a Soros-Type Attack? 

It is possible that Luna really fell victim to a Soros-type attack. We mentioned the suspicious funds' withdrawal from the Terra ecosystem to Ethereum. Do Kwon had to clarify these moves to the community, especially after the questions from Mudit Gupta, Polygon Chief Security Officer.

Do Kown confirmed that the company withdrew 150 million UST from Curve and then withdrew 100 million UST more to reduce the imbalance. However, he rejected Terraform Labs as being responsible for 84 million UST transactions to the Ethereum system.

Our step-by-step analysis of the LUNA collapse proves that panic played a significant role in LUNA collapse. So, the interest rate of the Anchor protocol decreased, then the panic started, and funds’ withdrawal and stabilizing measures pushed the panic up. Looks like a classic Soros-type attack!

## Who Was the Attacker?

So, if Terra and LUNA were not a scam but a victim of an attack, who was behind it? The first thought was the founder. However, Do Kwon and other top managers of Terraform Labs are available; they have not disappeared with the money. Besides, they invested more than $10B into the system and launched a new one to restore the business.

Another option is a classic: the attack was planned by competitors. Market competition is severe in the crypto world, so if your competitors know about the vulnerability of your project, it will die. FreddieRaynolds may not have been the only person who noticed the vulnerability of the Terra ecosystem. Once the attackers checked the system and almost got it, but the second try was successful.

Some experts suppose a governmental institution was involved in the attack. Some governments are not interested in crypto investments because crypto assets suck funds from traditional assets.

## The Hype over Decentralized Finance May Be Slowing

The market capitalization of the Terra coin was over $18 billion before the crash. Its sudden collapse became a black swan for the whole crypto market. The investor confidence was broken. 

All stable coins became cheaper. Moreover, TVL for all DeFi segments lost part of its value, from $190 billion at the beginning of May, just before the collapse, to [$108 billion at the beginning of June](https://defillama.com) , one month later.

The collapse of the Terra ecosystem attracted the attention of market regulators and politicians. [Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen commented](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-05-10/yellen-cites-usd-breakdown-while-calling-for-stablecoin-rules?sref=AACmJ2tc) on the situation and claimed the segment of stable coins requires better regulations to reduce volatility and support financial stability. It is likely that new regulations will appear this year. 

LUNA also caused some problems in Chainlink, a decentralized network of crypto oracles. It could not process the prices below $0.01, so it could not provide the forecasts for all pairs with LUNA.

In general, the LUNA crash changed the market confidence in all stable coins. The investors understood that the safety of stable coins was overestimated.

## Concluding Thoughts 

The collapse of LUNA and UST is one of the most remarkable events in the history of the crypto industry. No DeFi project reached such a large size before it crashed. All saving measures could only speed up LUNA hyperinflation. 

Terra was relaunched as Terra Classic, with a new token Luna Classic (LUNC). Its start price was $17.80, but in the first hours of trading, it lost 67% of its value. The optimistic forecast for it is to reach $10 by 2023. However, there are not many optimists for LUNC.

Terra has to solve two main problems. First, without the Anchor protocol, there is no use case behind the token. Investors just have no idea why they should buy LUNC, except for the trust in the project.

And here is the second problem. Do Kwon and his project lost the trust of the market. The idea of the LUNA scam will spoil all their further activities. So, the way to resurrection for LUNC is hard and may be impossible. The problem is not the link with fiat currency or technical components but the confidence of the crypto community.
