Investors in the cryptocurrency market are looking for the next major opportunity in the face of speculation. Ripple’s XRP and the AI-driven IntelMarkets (INTL) are two altcoins that are attracting the attention of traders as winter 2024 approaches.
They both have attractive investment characteristics, but which one is more likely to pass the $1 barrier?
Ripple (XRP): A Veteran of the Market
XRP is one of the well-established components of the cryptocurrency landscape, enabling low-cost, high-speed cross-border transactions. It was launched in 2012, making it possible to develop its fame through a highly effective blockchain, XRPL. However, the main challenges are yet to be faced by XRP even with its established presence.
Currently, XRP trades at approximately $0.53. After reaching an all-time high of $3.84 back in January 2018, the price has been on a steadily declining trend. The legal scraps with the SEC have also greatly changed XRP’s course, as it suffered losses in price during the period of the case’s hearing. However, it still holds a market cap of over $30 billion, and thus, lets it be appointed as one of the best-ranking altcoins based on market capitalization.
Some analysts have foreseen that XRP could experience a considerable change if the market changes to a bullish one, putting forward $1.50 by the end of the current year as an estimate. However, the present market size and adoption could limit the growth potential of it.
IntelMarkets (INTL): The Rising Star
In various ways, unlike XRP, Intel Markets (INTL) does not bear the freshness of the crypto industry it operates in, but the thrilling upside potential it offers makes it engaging in this area. AI, blockchain technology, and decentralized finance (DeFi) are the triple pillars that support it, so Intel Markets is able to catch and attract investors as successfully as it did already.
Not being afraid of hard work, Intel Markets held a presale campaign that allowed a total of 1,140,000$ to be collected. Employees from Fortune 500 companies supported the early activities. Now, the presale price has reached 0.027$. Such a small amount for something that has the potential of mass crypto adoption of a wide range of enterprises. INTL intends to alter the way the global trading market of $264 billion works. The company wants to achieve this by incorporating AI-driven trading schemes. These algorithms that are capable of learning themselves will be a game-changer in the field of crypto trading as they will allow investors to seize openings in different markets in real time.
Experts believe that the number of IntelMarkets (INLT) may increase by 45x after its launch, making it a strong candidate to be a bigger competitor of XRP and reach $1 sooner or later.
The Road to $1: A Showdown
Although both XRP and INTL have their advantages, IntelMarkets is the better choice due to its prospects for growth that are unlimited. High market size and a legal gray area limit XRP’s prospects. The opposite can be found in the case of IntelMarkets, which is small enough for its future to be clear with quite a good chance of being adopted. Investors who want to change their lives will find the AI-DeFi story of IntelMarkets much more attractive than the typical aspect of XRP’s cross-border payments.
Conclusion
As winter comes, the race to $1 between IntelMarkets and XRP becomes more heated. Ripple (XRP) provides an acceptable level of revenue, but IntelMarkets (INTL) can be the one that awakens us from smallness to largeness through its advanced AI-enabled exchange platform.
