Social dominance in ADA, SOL, OP marks an increase

Bitcoin price rallied closer to the $45,000 mark, fueling market participants with optimism and driving altcoin prices higher. Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL) and Algorand (ALGO) ranked in popularity among traders, indicated by a spike in their social dominance.

The social dominance of these assets marked one of the highest levels in 2023, and this implies traders should be cautious when opening a position in ADA, SOL or ALGO, according to Santiment analysts.

Social discussions are a key metric that help determine the relevance and adoption of an asset among traders. Cardano’s social discussion is at a six month high, Solana and Algorand’s social discussion rates are at a two month and three month high respectively.

ADA, SOL, ALGO social dominance climbs 

The development implies there is a Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) altcoin price rallies, among traders, making it important for investors to proceed with caution when trading these assets.

One of the likely catalysts driving this increase in social discussions is Robinhood’s introduction of commission free trading for the European Union region. The cryptocurrency trade platform introduced EU traders to Solana, Polygon and Cardano, among other cryptocurrencies as part of its strategic move. 

Rising demand from traders has likely fueled gains in altcoins like ADA, SOL and ALGO.
