Among the most notable are Kaspa (KAS) and Algorand (ALGO), two digital assets projected to surpass the $5 billion market capitalization threshold. These forecasts depend on sustained bullish sentiment, growing ecosystem adoption, and the impact of supply-side inflation, which could drive market cap growth even if price movements remain stable.
