1. The copycat season is coming, and the market is surging

We are now entering Phase 2, and this is the strongest period for altcoins! As Crypto Rover said, the best part of the#Altcoinseason has already begun, and your altcoins have the opportunity to easily increase 10x from now on.

Data shows that Crypto Total Market Cap (excluding BTC) reached 1.46T on January 5, an increase of 9.30% from the previous day. On January 4, the price of Ethereum/TetherUs also increased significantly, with an increase of 6.98% and a trading volume of 63M. At the same time, the profit data of the Bitcoin halving cycle also reflects the changing trends of the market.

ETH has performed outstandingly in this wave of market, with a strong upward trend clearly surpassing BTC. This also indicates the full launch of the altcoin market, as previously emphasized, a frenzy in altcoins is expected in the first quarter, with cryptocurrencies like ETH and SOL gradually showing the momentum to surpass BTC. The early birds may seize the opportunity for wealth during this phase, while latecomers need to be wary of the risks of getting caught holding the bag.

2. Progress of Popular Cryptocurrency Projects

(1) The SUI project has achieved remarkable results.

The SUI project has recently achieved impressive results. On January 4, its DEX trading volume grew strongly, and the total locked value surged, breaking through $1.8 billion, $1.9 billion, and now exceeding $2 billion, successfully ranking as the third-largest non-EVM chain.

The SUI project not only excels in technical and market indicators but also has unique operational strategies. Unlike other projects, SUI focused on practical work in the first half of the bull market, unaffected by short-term price fluctuations. Its trading strategy closely follows the market trends, always keeping up with BTC's rise. At the same time, SUI has attracted many real players by eliminating malicious behaviors, allowing these players to gain substantial benefits during the project's development. For instance, without extensively promoting an airdrop plan, the project quietly distributed tokens like pyth, W, Deep, NS, Blue, SCP to participants, allowing many users who inadvertently interacted to reap rewards.

(2) The second wave of DOGE's market has begun.

DOGE has also received good news, as its second wave of market has already arrived, adding more vitality and opportunities to the market.
