In the wide, wild west of cryptocurrency markets, Thursday painted a picture of slight growth. With cryptocurrencies like bitcoin (BTC) holding steady at just $30,000 and ether (ETH) lingering in the mid-$1,800s, stagnation appeared to reign supreme. Poised on the precipice of hope and apprehension, the market simultaneously examined the potential for future bitcoin ETFs and the potential negative impact of strong US data bolstering Fed tightening bets.

For diversifying enthusiasts in search of currency with a bit more unpredictability than BTC or ETH, BitDAO (BITD) and its governance token may fit the bill. Despite trading around $0.375 after a month-long downward trend, BitDAO’s alignment with the development of the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem may offer it the ability to rebound.

Interestingly, Wall Street Memes, a retail investing community that has made waves with its $WSM token, garnered attention. Its recent presale has already raised more than $11 million. Additionally, speculation of listing on top-tier exchanges such as Binance, coupled with favourable community rewards, is expected to continue spurring rapid growth. All in all, the uniqueness of such a development, born from a community of retail investors, makes the $WSM token an intriguing proposition indeed.

In contrast, Stellar (XLM), backed by one of the co-founders of Ripple, seems to be all about tried and true crypto strategies. Despite doubling from a low of $0.075 earlier this month, XLM, with its focus on cross-border transactions and digital asset issuance and transfer, is distinct from the retail-oriented $WSM.

However, crypto doesn’t just revolve around transactions; it also plays the prediction game. Here is where projects like yPredict come into the picture, offering a free crypto price prediction system. With AI boosted signals and pattern recognition playing an integral role, the yPredict platform is being noted as a potential boon for future crypto investments.

On a more established note, Bitcoin SV (BSV) is looking at a restless market. Despite resisting the bullish momentum of a 100% rise over earlier monthly lows, analysts predict that overcoming the current key resistance may trigger a near 100% rally. Thus, given the potential upside, Bitcoin SV, originally a hardfork of the bitcoin blockchain, still maintains a significant appeal for investors.

Still, uncertainty remains a core facet of crypto investment, so as intriguing as the potential of these tokens may be, it’s crucial to remember that there’s always risk involved in high-risk asset classes.
