Decentraland Could Recover Following Excitement Around MANA Airdrop
Despite the excitement around the SEC’s approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs on January 10, Decentraland has fallen significantly. Altcoins in the gaming industry were on a bull run at the end of 2023. Analysts expected that bullish performance to continue in early January.
Yet, Decentraland (MANA) has disappointed investors, falling to the $0.4 range. MANA started 2024, trading at $0.5398 on January 1. It fell by 20.9% to $0.4267 on January 7. MANA then recovered slightly, rising by 10.8% to $0.4732 on January 20.
Decentraland (MANA) could recover due to excitement around its ongoing airdrop. Its blockchain activity has increased since early January as many are trying to claim tokens from Decentraland’s airdrop.
Analysts also expect a boost in the play-to-earn gaming industry, thus triggering a sharp rally for Decentraland (MANA). This could push MANA’s value up by 35.2% to $0.6402. If Decentraland (MANA) rises further, it could be one of the best DeFi projects in the video gaming industry.
