The recent FOMC meeting and the imminent decision on interest rates in the United States appear to have had a significant impact on the global economy. This influence is particularly evident in the cryptocurrency markets, where noticeable declines have been observed, especially in the case of Bitcoin. Nevertheless, some cryptocurrencies are steadily approaching the crucial $10 billion mark. We have analyzed two of these promising cryptocurrencies and their respective projects. So, what is the current situation with these alternative coins that are nearing this milestone in the crypto markets?
Polkadot (DOT) Analysis
At present, DOT boasts a market capitalization of $9.19 billion and is currently trading at $6.39. There is speculation that with a potential increase in Bitcoin and a potential bull run, DOT could potentially reach a market cap of $10 billion by year-end.

One of the key developments on the Polkadot front is the integration of Real World Assets (RWAs) and the upcoming launch of Polkadot 2.0, illustrating the development team’s significant dedication to growth and widespread adoption.
The growing interest in Polkadot’s Software Development Kit (SDK) for tokenizing real-world assets and the optimistic predictions of prominent industry analysts like Michaël van de Poppe may pave the way for Polkadot to secure a larger market share in the future.
These advancements on the DOT side could potentially signal to investors that the $10 billion threshold has been surpassed, depending on Polkadot’s progress in asset tokenization and a potential market upturn.
Chainlink (LINK) and Collaborations
Alongside DOT, all eyes are also on Chainlink (LINK), which currently holds a market capitalization of $8.8 billion and is trading at $15.04. Similar to DOT, LINK is steadily approaching a market cap of $10 billion.
Despite experiencing a slight decline of over 5% in the last 24 hours and currently trading 23% below its peak level of $22.85 witnessed this year, ongoing developments on the Chainlink side continue to capture attention.
Collaborations with major financial institutions in the United States such as The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC), JP Morgan (NYSE: JPM), and BNY Mellon in recent times are believed to contribute to unveiling LINK’s potential.
These types of partnerships on the Chainlink side are expected to enhance the value of its native token, LINK, in the future and open up avenues for it to reach a market cap of $10 billion.
