5 leading 'made in USA' altcoins that could dominate the market in Q3

The cryptocurrency market kicks off the new week with a slight bounce back, following a deep correction last week. Optimism is gradually returning, as some digital currencies originating from America begin to send positive signals.

Projects developed in America are emerging thanks to a solid foundation and a dynamic development roadmap. These tokens are attracting increasing interest from investors due to their breakout potential in Q3 – especially if the general bounce back trend of the market continues to be maintained.

Chainlink (LINK)

LINK is emerging as one of the most notable "Made in America" coins in Q3, thanks to a strategic advancement from the partnership between Chainlink and Mastercard – an ambitious effort to connect traditional finance with the blockchain world.

This agreement opens up opportunities for over 3 billion Mastercard users to purchase cryptocurrency directly on the blockchain – a major breakthrough in the process of popularizing Web3 technology.

Through integration with platforms like Shift4 Payments, Swapper Finance, XSwap, and ZeroHash, users can seamlessly convert fiat to cryptocurrency, even without Web3 experience.

As an oracle infrastructure supporting these integrations, Chainlink may witness a strong increase in demand for LINK tokens in Q3.

Aptos (APT)

APT is also emerging as a promising name in Q3, amid a wave of stablecoins increasingly being accepted widely in America. One of the biggest drivers comes from the state of Wyoming, which is rolling out plans to issue its own stablecoin called Wyoming Stable Token (WYST).

In that picture, Aptos is seen as one of the top candidates for the role of the core blockchain platform supporting this stablecoin. A special committee – the Wyoming Stable Token Commission – established by the state government, has conducted a thorough assessment of blockchain networks. As a result, Aptos is ranked alongside Solana, thanks to its superior technical load-bearing capacity and its friendliness towards developers and service providers.

If the state of Wyoming officially chooses Aptos as the infrastructure for WYST, this will be an important turning point for the Aptos ecosystem, not only affirming its position but also potentially creating a new wave of demand for the APT token.

SEI

SEI continues to make its mark in Q3 as one of the most prominent altcoins in the market. Notably, the state of Wyoming has chosen Sei Network as the infrastructure platform for the upcoming stablecoin WYST, opening up clear real-world application potential for this blockchain.

The above decision quickly placed SEI at the center of the increasingly fierce race among blockchains to gain a presence in real-life applications.

Data from Artemis shows that activity on the Sei Network is growing rapidly. In just one month, the number of daily active users surged to 609,448 – equivalent to a 17.36% increase. At the same time, the total value locked (TVL) on the network also increased by 14.11%, reaching 563 million USD – reflecting the growing confidence from the community and the influx of capital into this ecosystem.

Plume Network (PLUME)

PLUME is emerging as one of the most noteworthy altcoins of Q3, thanks to its impressive growth in the tokenization of real assets (RWA).

Recently, the project has achieved an important legal milestone: the PLUME token has passed the compliance verification under the (MiCA) regulation issued by the European Union. This success not only opens up the opportunity for listing on regulated exchanges across all 27 EU countries but also significantly enhances Plume's attractiveness to both institutional and individual investors in the European market.

Not stopping there, Plume Network has just recorded an outstanding achievement: surpassing 100,000 wallet addresses holding RWA assets – officially surpassing Ethereum to become the blockchain with the largest RWA holder community currently.

If demand continues to surge, the token price could aim for the $0.095 range. Conversely, if buying pressure weakens, PLUME risks dropping below the $0.075 support level.

Worldcoin (WLD)

WLD is also emerging as a notable altcoin in Q3, amidst speculation about a potential strategic partnership with Reddit. According to a recent report, this massive social media platform is said to be considering integrating Worldcoin's Orb biometric technology – aimed at verifying user identities and combating bot accounts as well as impersonation activities.

If this information becomes a reality, it will be a significant breakthrough in promoting decentralized identity on social media platforms – especially in the context of growing concerns about AI-generated content and the spread of misinformation.

However, if demand weakens or unverified rumors arise, WLD may face adjustment pressure around the support area of $0.57.
