3 Cryptos to Consider If Bitcoin Crosses $100,000 This Cycle

Bitcoin (BTC USD) continued to hover in a range around the $70,000 mark. However, if you’ve been in the crypto game long enough, you know that things can change in the blink of an eye.

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) price action continued to hover in a range around the $70,000 mark. However, if you’ve been in the crypto game long enough, you know that things can change in the blink of an eye.

It has now been a month and a half since the Bitcoin halving and, as in the past, we have had a moderate sell-off. In my opinion there could be a supply shortage in the coming months. Historically, Bitcoin has risen sharply a few months after previous halvings when a supply shortage eventually occurred. A similar scenario could play out this time.

I believe once rate cuts are announced, we could see ETF buying pressure, supply tightness due to the halving, and rate cut tailwinds push Bitcoin higher with a one-two punch. Altcoins would benefit greatly from this, especially when the so-called alt season begins.

Here are three cryptos to consider if Bitcoin crosses $100,000 this cycle. These are three projects that I believe are poised for potential 50x gains.

Data Lake (LAKE)

Data Lake (LAKE) hasn’t had the best price performance recently, similar to most small-cap altcoin projects. The LAKE crypto has fallen from $0.046 at its peak to $0.012 recently. However, I think this is still a promising crypto project to watch as it could bottom out near this range.

Data Lake is building a global system that allows users to donate their data capacity for use in scientific research and studies. This data is then used to create high-quality datasets for AI and machine learning tools.

Accessing medical data while protecting privacy was a major challenge. Data Lake leverages blockchain technology to give users the ability to give or revoke consent to the use of their data while keeping that data secure and private. User consent is recorded on the blockchain to verify eligibility. This project is based on the Polygon (CRYPTO: MATIC) Blockchain and uses the LAKE crypto token as an “entrance ticket” to participate through data donations.

Given that many data and AI cryptos experienced a surge earlier this year, it wouldn’t surprise me to see Data Lake outperform if overall sentiment improves. The market cap for this project is only $11.6 million. So there is plenty of scope for big gains as the next phase of the bull cycle emerges.

Nano (XNO)

Nano (CRYPTO: XNO) is a cryptocurrency that I’ve been talking about a lot lately. However, his performance so far has remained poor. It is one of the oldest crypto projects and currently has a larger market cap than smaller projects like Data Lake. I mainly blame Nano’s poor performance on the fact that there is no marketing whatsoever for this project.

Many may find this factor negative as the hype here is much more muted. However, I actually think this lack of marketing underlines Nano as a decentralized peer-to-peer project.

Nano allows users to transact for free. Many crypto projects advertise free transactions but have a hidden purchase and sales tax. Nano is different because it is one of the few chains that is completely free. If Nano manages to get more listings and get more merchants to accept the cryptocurrency, we could see a lot of upside here. The market cap for this project is only $169 million. Again, if there is a massive launch, this is a project that could trade much, much higher in the long term.

Nettensor (NAO)

Nettensor (NAO) is a cryptocurrency project that aims to capitalize on the ongoing hype and speculation surrounding AI. I think this is a project that could fall behind Bittensors (CRYPTO: TAO) Meteor surge last year. In fact, I think Nettensor could make huge profits with just a fraction of Bittensor’s success.

The crypto has one market cap: $7.8 million and is currently trading sideways, about 87% below its all-time high. This is definitely a high risk, high reward bet. But if Bitcoin experiences a second wave of hype that pushes it above $100,000, I think NAO could potentially see much greater upside in the short term.

This project offers a diverse range of AI-focused services that go beyond the basic offerings. Its flagship platform, NetCloud, provides cloud computing capabilities for AI infrastructure operations, including core hosting, VPS, remote desktop access, and domain management. The AI ​​hype factor alone could potentially drive NAO’s price significantly higher.
