Make Crypto Simple

Crypto News and Concepts Made Simple - Straight to your inbox, every Monday and Friday

I was sitting in the hot tub down in Florida last night - and like it does in most of my conversations, crypto came up. My brother Matthew and I were reminiscing about the bull run of 2021 - and boy, do we have some incredible stories. Purchasing a coin and watching it quadruple in value in within 2 minutes is a feeling like no other. One day I’ll share some specific stories - but this isn’t story time. Let’s talk about The Future.

Here’s a list of 10 coins that have the potential to 10x their value in the coming bull market.

Project #1: Stargaze Zone (STARS)

Current Market Cap: 17.3 million

Market Cap after 10x: $173 million

What is Stargaze Zone?

Stargaze is a decentralized and community-owned network for NFTs. It functions as an app-specific Cosmos Proof-of-Stake chain, using the Tendermint consensus engine. The platform is akin to OpenSea but is governed by a community through a protocol DAO. It allows users to buy, sell, and trade NFTs, including trading across other IBC-enabled chains.

Why $STARS can 10x:

Stargaze is a Cosmos Ecosystem classic - they’ve been around awhile and have been building throughout the bull run. Their vision is much bigger than NFTs - think decentralized, NFT-centric social media. The possibilities are endless and stargaze is primed to make a run in this arena. 10x is a possibility… and 100x is not out of the question.

Project #2: Maya Protocol (CACAO)

Current Fully Diluted Value: $60 million

FDV after 10x: $600 million

What is Maya Protocol?

Maya Protocol is a cross-chain swap machine! It combines the benefits of centralized and decentralized exchanges without their drawbacks. Maya functions as an Automated Market Maker, similar to Uniswap, and utilizes cross-chain liquidity without relying on wrapping or pegging assets. This means you can swap native coin for native coin, on different blockchains, without the risk “wrapping” the assets to make them compatible with the other chain.

Why $CACAO can 10x:

Cross-chain swaps are the future. Just look at the success that THORchain is having, with it’s $1.7 Billion market cap! Maya distinguishes itself from THORChain by not using inflationary tokens and having a different tokenomic structure. The creation of a smart contract layer on a Cosmos-based chain using the CACAO token is planned, which is expected to increase its total value locked and attract more developers.

Project #3: Sommelier Finance (SOMM)

Current Market Cap: $41 million

Market Cap after 10x: $410 million

What is Sommelier Finance?

Sommelier is a protocol built on the Cosmos SDK, designed to maximize interoperability with other blockchains. It acts as a gateway into interchain DeFi, offering users complex financial strategies through a user-friendly interface. Sommelier specializes in creating sophisticated vaults for DeFi applications, providing users with advanced financial tools in an accessible format​

Why $SOMM can 10x:

Sommelier Finance distinguishes itself in the DeFi space by offering high yields on popular cryptocurrencies like Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin (BTC), and various stablecoins. As the adoption of cryptocurrencies continues to expand globally, there is a growing demand among investors and users for platforms that can provide attractive yields on their digital assets. Sommelier meets this demand by offering an avenue for users to earn returns on their investments in these major cryptocurrencies.

Moreover, Sommelier's user-friendly approach is a significant factor in its potential success. The complexity of DeFi strategies can often be a barrier for many users, particularly those who are new to the cryptocurrency world. By simplifying these strategies and presenting them in a more accessible format, Sommelier not only attracts seasoned crypto enthusiasts but also opens the door for a broader audience. This inclusive approach, combined with the growing interest in crypto investments, positions Sommelier as a potentially valuable platform for both yield generation and broader adoption in the DeFi space.

Project #4: WINR Protocol (WINR)

Current Market Cap: $11.7 million

Market Cap after 10x: $117 million

What is WINR Protocol?

The WINR Protocol is a fully autonomous liquidity and incentive infrastructure, specifically built for on-chain games that require a counterparty asset vault. It enables developers to build and propose new games to the WINR DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) and connect them to the protocol. Developers can earn a commission from the incentives generated by their players. Additionally, the protocol uses its native token, WINR, to incentivize developers, liquidity providers, and players. WINR holders receive a portion of the revenue generated by platforms built on the protocol through a bribes mechanism.

Why $WINR can 10x:

Gaming is huge. People like gaming. WINR is a tiny project at 11.7m MC. Need I say more?

Project #5: Pendle (PENDLE)

Current Market Cap: 105.4 million

Market Cap after 10x: $1.054 billion

What is Pendle?

Pendle is a protocol that focuses on the tokenization and trading of future yield. It introduces a novel Automated Market Maker (AMM) that supports assets with time decay. This approach allows users to have more control over future yield by offering optionality and opportunities for its utilization. The core of Pendle's functionality revolves around optimizing yield strategies and providing avenues for users to engage in more complex yield-related activities

Why $PENDLE can 10x:

Pendle's platform is recognized for its innovation in the DeFi sector, especially with its maximum yield offerings and hedging against yield downturns during bear markets. The protocol's revenue flywheel is powered by vePENDLE, which enables holders to vote for and direct rewards to different pools, thus incentivizing liquidity and staking. This structure creates additional yield opportunities. Pendle also utilizes Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSDs), which are favored for instant asset unlocks and for boosting yields, especially with assets like ETH that offer double-digit APY.

I expect Pendle to have continued success and folks and projects look for yield on their assets.

That’s all for today! Optimize your portfolio and grab some 10xs before the next bull run.
