Recently, the digital asset market has shown signs of a new “altcoin season” with Bitcoin dominance dropping to 62%, while the total altcoin market capitalization is around $1.24 trillion. In this context, investors’ attention is gradually shifting from BTC to other cryptocurrencies, with a particular interest in tokens related to decentralized finance (DeFi).
That’s why we wanted to highlight 3 altcoins that have all the credentials to make themselves noticed – in a positive way – between now and the end of June.
Hyperliquid | The Rapidly Expanding DEX
One of the projects in the spotlight is Hyperliquid (HYPE) , a major decentralized exchange that is experiencing strong growth. Based on a proprietary Layer 1 blockchain , Hyperliquid offers a high-speed trading system with performance comparable to traditional centralized exchanges.
The HYPE token has seen a significant surge between April and June, with growth of over 55% in the last month. This boom is mainly due to the rapid expansion of its market share in the perpetual futures sector . The trading volume on the platform has exceeded $197 billion , accompanied by significant growth in revenue.
A particularly notable point is the integration of HyperEVM , which ensures compatibility with Ethereum while maintaining the high performance of the platform. This allows developers to use the already known tools of the Ethereum ecosystem while taking advantage of the speed of Hyperliquid.
Uniswap | Rally on Regulatory Clarity on DeFi
Uniswap (UNI) , one of the pioneering DeFi protocols, also showed strong momentum in early June. The token has surged nearly 30% in the past month, reaching $7,692. The optimism behind this growth was sparked by statements from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which hinted at its intention to provide a clearer regulatory framework for DeFi.
Commissioner Paul Atkins affirmed the institution’s commitment to publishing regulations that will facilitate the smooth adoption of decentralized protocols, thus fueling market expectations.
From a technical standpoint, UNI has broken a long-term bearish trendline, clearing several important resistances.
Solaxy | The first Layer-2 solution on Solana
Alongside established projects, new initiatives are also starting to stand out, most notably Solaxy (SOLX) which presents itself as the first Layer-2 solution ever developed on Solana , a blockchain known for its speed.
Unlike traditional meme coins, Solaxy stands out for its clear technical goal : to address the scalability limitations of the Solana ecosystem. Its presale, which ended just hours ago, allowed the project to raise over $53 million.
Designed to ease congestion on the Solana network and improve its speed, Solaxy is set to find application in areas such as DeFi, NFT, and gaming . In terms of security, it has successfully completed an audit by Coinsult , ensuring complete technical reliability. Furthermore, it boasts an active community with over 75,000 followers , which reinforces the sustainability of the project.
Conclusions
As the altcoin market capitalization expands, we are witnessing a maturation of the crypto ecosystem . It is no longer just a speculative dynamic or a passing fad: investors and developers are showing increasing interest in projects that offer real solutions to technical and infrastructural problems , such as scalability, execution speed or cross-chain compatibility.
In this context, projects with tangible technological advantages – such as more efficient architectures, innovative protocols, or the ability to integrate with other ecosystems – will enjoy a significant competitive advantage. For example, Layer-2 solutions such as Solaxy on Solana or Hyperliquid with its HyperEVM represent a tangible technological evolution, not only in terms of performance but also in terms of user experience and interoperability.
