Chainlink (LINK)

Strengths:

Acts as a "bridge" for data to blockchain, providing oracles for most DeFi projects.

Demand for oracles increases as DeFi and asset tokenization (RWA) develop.

Price potential:

LINK once peaked at ~$50, currently still quite far from its peak.

If capital flows back into DeFi, LINK could bounce back to the $30–$40 range in this cycle.

Risks: Lower volatility than meme coins, but growth depends on the development of DeFi.

Solana (SOL)

Strengths:

Is a high-speed blockchain with low fees, used by many DeFi, NFT, and gaming projects.

The ecosystem is expanding rapidly, particularly in DeFi and asset tokenization (RWA).

Price potential:

SOL is often regarded as an "Ethereum killer."

If the altcoin season explodes, SOL could return to the $250–$300 range (the last peak was around $260 in 2021).

Risks: Has a history of network outages, so there are still concerns about stability.
