Top crypto tokens to watch this week: Keeta, Linea, Polkadot

The crypto market started the week well, with Bitcoin price soaring to $112,000 and the market capitalization of all coins jumping to $3.84 trillion. This article highlights some of the top cryptocurrencies to watch this week, including the likes of Keeta (KTA), Linea (LINEA), and Polkadot (DOT).

Linea (LINEA)

Linea will be one of the top cryptocurrencies to watch this week as it launches its airdrop, a move that will birth a token valued at over $1 billion.

Started by Consensys, Linea has become a major player in the Ethereum scaling industry. It mainly focuses on zero-knowledge scaling, which analysts believe is the future because of its privacy features.

Linea has become one of the fastest-growing players in the layer-2 industry. Data shows that the total value locked (TVL) in its platform has jumped to $1.67 billion, much higher than the year-to-date low of $186 million.

Most of this growth came from Aave, the biggest player in the decentralized finance (DeFi) industry, whose assets in the platform has jumped by 3500% in the last 30 days to $809 million. The other top dApps in the network are Renzo, Etherex, and Euler.

Linea’s airdrop could create a token worth over $1 billion because of its strong growth and market share. For example, Arbitrum, the biggest listed layer-2 network has a market capitalization of over $2.6 billion.

The most likely scenario is where the Linea price jumps sharply after the airdrop as many retail investors buy. It will then pull back as some snipers and insiders sell their tokens.
