As the global cryptocurrency market cap declined by 1.5% to $2.46 trillion in the last 24 hours, specific tokens are making significant moves and attracting attention. Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market cap, is down by 1%.
However, amidst this market movement, specific tokens like Worldcoin (WLD) and Litecoin (LTC) are showcasing notable developments and generating market interest.
Worldcoin Recorded 44% Surge In May
Worldcoin (WLD), an AI asset, has seen remarkable growth with a market cap surge of 44% in May, rebounding from a bottom observed at the end of April. This upward momentum coincides with increased interest following controversial remarks made by Warren Buffett, highlighting concerns about AI’s role in enabling illicit financial activities.
In line with this surge, Santiment data reveals a substantial 21.5% increase in WLD total open interest, soaring from $131.9 million to $160.3 million within the past day.
In response to these market dynamics, WLD has surged by 23.6% over the past 24 hours, reaching a trading price of $6, a level not seen in three weeks. Currently, the asset’s market cap stands at $1.32 billion, positioning it as the 70th-largest digital currency by market capitalization.
Litecoin Making Strong Comeback
On the other hand, Litecoin, a well-known cryptocurrency, has garnered renewed interest due to discussions about potential Litecoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) with Grayscale. This renewed interest is driving speculation and market focus on future ETF developments.
Recent data from Santiment, as noted by trader Kamikaze, sheds light on Litecoin’s market behavior. Over the past two months, Litecoin’s price swung from $113 to $74.5 in two months, holding above $80 despite this.
However, EMA, a reliable technical indicator, signals a potential bearish crossover between the 20-day and 100-day EMAs. This could increase selling pressure and extend the current consolidation. Moreover, the daily RSI at around 44% indicates a neutral to bearish market sentiment.
As these tokens continue to make waves in the crypto space, investors are closely monitoring developments and market dynamics to capitalize on emerging opportunities.
