‍Layer-1s Lead Q4 Crypto Surge: A Selective Altcoin Rally? The crypto market has seen a strong start to Q4, with Bitcoin hitting new highs and the Layer-1 sector emerging as a top performer among altcoins. Data shows Layer-1 assets gained 12.54% in early October, outpacing other niches. Market experts anticipate a selective altcoin rally, focusing on high-quality projects with strong fundamentals, rather than a broad market surge. Solana is highlighted as a prime candidate for significant growth, with price targets of $300-$400 by year-end considered realistic.
