SUI and these 2 Crypto Set to Lead Q4 2024 Rally: Grayscale Report

Grayscale’s Q4 2024 research highlights emerging trends in the crypto market, such as decentralized AI platforms, tokenized assets, and the rise of meme coins. The leading digital assets, Bitcoin and Ethereum, top the list due to favorable macroeconomic conditions. However, Grayscale’s updated top 20 list includes new additions such as Sui (SUI), Bittensor (TAO), Optimism (OP), Helium (HNT), Celo (CELO), and Universal Market Access (UMA). On the other hand, cryptos like Render (RNDR) and ThorChain (RUNE), along with others, were removed.

Grayscale Research insight

Sui (SUI)

SUI coin outperformed other most major cryptos in September 2024 amid an aggressive rally from $0.74 to $1.79, accounting for 140% growth. This bullish trajectory can be attributed to the recent launch of Grayscale’s SUI  trust fund, USDC integration, and skyrocketing Total volume locked (TVL).

According to DefiLlama, the SUI TVL currently stands at $961.7 and is poised to surpass the $1 billion milestone. This surge reflects increasing network activity as more investors commit funds to Sui’s ecosystem.

With sustained buying, the SUI price is poised to surpass the $2 breakout to drive a prolonged rally.

Optimism (OP)

Optimism (OP) has witnessed a sustained rally from $1.06 to $1.82 in the last two months, registering a 72% growth. This recovery also revealed the formation of a double-bottom reversal pattern, projecting the buyers are likely to breach the $2 resistance.

Like SUI, the Optimism coin has witnessed investors’ interest according to the supply distribution metric from Santiment. Despite a seven-month price correction, the whale wallet holding (1 Million to 10 Million coins) has hit a current accumulation high of 696.28M OP.

Celo (CELO)

In the daily chart, the CELO price showed a U-shaped recovery from $0.389 to $0.688— a 76.7% increase. The chart setup signals resemble a well-known reversal pattern called rounding bottom, indicating an early sign of trend reversal.

Moreover, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently praised Celo’s progress, highlighting its impact on global access to basic finance through blockchain technology. Vitalik also mentioned Celo’s transition to becoming an Ethereum Layer 2 solution, underscoring its cultural alignment with Ethereum’s core values. 

As the second most popular platform for stablecoin transactions behind TRON, Celo is poised for a $1 price breakout in the near future.

This is amazing to see. Improving worldwide access to basic payments/finance has always been a key way that ethereum can be good for the world, and it’s great to see @Celo getting traction.
