Key Takeaways
- Cosmos (ATOM) price resurges hits all-time high
- Cosmos is regarded as a top platform and allows cross-chain interoperability
- Bitcoin (BTC) transactions will soon be available on Cosmos following future update
Looking at the top 20 biggest cryptocurrencies, all were trading negatively over the weekend except Cosmos (ATOM).
The altcoin took an opposite trend from the market, with the price reaching an all-time high of $44 in the early hours of Monday.
This corresponded to a weekly price gain of over 120% and saw its marketcap hit a record high of $12.3 billion.
Cosmos is regarded as one of the top crypto projects in the blockchain industry and is essentially a blockchain interoperability protocol.
It enables different projects to interact and share data.
The success of DeFi and the rapid cross-chain migration of protocols has resulted in increased use of Cosmos in recent months.
Additionally, Cosmos launched a cross-chain DeFi solution last August, leading to a growing DeFi ecosystem within its blockchain.
All these services are fueled by its native currency, ATOM, enabling holders to participate in the project's governance.
Holders can also stake ATOM for rewards, and 67% of its supply are currently staked within its smart contracts.
Cosmos also integrated the DEX Sifcchain with its blockchain interoperability protocol, enabling the exchange to interact with the Ethereum ecosystem.
Thanks to another integration that is set to be deployed in the future, it will also be possible to use Bitcoin (BTC) on Cosmos.
This healthy fundamental has contributed to the recent breakout in the price of Cosmos, and it has stood out from its competitors this week.
It also shows the demand for interoperability projects which could be the backbone of blockchains in years to come.
