  • Solana has surged 95% in December to become the fourth-largest cryptocurrency, driven by demand for its fast, low-cost transactions.
  • Avalanche has more than doubled with over 100% gains in December to around $44, attracting users with far lower gas fees than Ethereum.
  • Near Protocol’s NEAR token is up over 125% on major partnerships and memecoin hype, though overbought signals suggest a cooldown.

This December, Layer 1 blockchain tokens like Solana, Avalanche, Near Protocol, and Injective Protocol have seen significant price increases. While Solana is up 95%, other altcoins have risen even more. This article explores the reasons behind the growth of these major blockchain projects.

Solana Leads the Pack with 95% Gains

Solana (SOL) has surged 95% in December, outperforming rivals like Ethereum. Solana now ranks as the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. Its growth is driven by strong fundamentals and demand for fast, low-cost transactions. However, other altcoins are beating Solana’s returns.

Avalanche More Than Doubles with Over 100% Increase

Avalanche (AVAX) has skyrocketed over 100% in December to around $44. This rally comes after a major token unlocking event, showing strong demand for AVAX. Avalanche also offers far lower gas fees than Ethereum, attracting users. However, bearish technical divergences indicate potential for price consolidation soon.

Near Protocol Rallies Over 125% on Partnerships

Near Protocol’s native token NEAR has jumped over 125% this month to $4.20. Driving its growth are major partnerships, like those with Polygon and IDS Inc. Memecoin hype around NEKO has also boosted NEAR. But overbought signals point to an impending cooldown period.

BREAKING: Solana was outperformed by these large-cap cryptos in December 👇

– Solana $SOL: +114%

– Avalanche $AVAX: +133%

– Near Protocol $NEAR: +148%

– Injective protocol $INJ: +198%

Injective Protocol Surges 108% Amid Airdrop Hype

Injective Protocol’s INJ token has risen 108% in December partly due to hype around upcoming airdrops. As an AI-focused L1 integrating DeFi, Injective also benefits from the AI boom. However, overbought conditions suggest INJ may see a significant pullback soon.

Conclusion

December has seen impressive gains for top Layer 1 blockchain tokens like Solana, Avalanche, Near Protocol, and Injective Protocol. However, extreme overbought conditions indicate potential for consolidation or correction in the near future. Nonetheless, strong fundamentals and adoption for these projects paint an optimistic long-term picture.
