FTM is sparking hopes for a higher price range, possibly reaching $10 valuations based on community hype.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tradersofcrypto.com\/coins\/fantom\/\">FTM traded<\/a> at $2.22, up around 7% overnight both in dollar terms and against <a href=\"https:\/\/tradersofcrypto.com\/news\/bitcoin-and-ethereum-continue-to-surge-are-we-heading-for-ath\/\">BTC and ETH<\/a>. The FTM rally followed days of record trading volumes, with expectations the rally has more days to go. FTM is rising on a general expectation for altcoins to outperform in the last quarter of the year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FTM rally follows the rapid appreciation of <a href=\"https:\/\/tradersofcrypto.com\/news\/can-harmony-one-continue-with-new-all-time-highs\/\">Harmony (ONE)<\/a> at the start of the new week. ONE retreated a bit to $0.22, taking a breather after a new all-time high.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recent price rally sets up FTM to get ahead of Tezos (XTZ) if the upward trend continues. FTM, with a market cap above $5.5B, has reached the top 35 coins by market capitalization. FTM is also in the top 10 of the largest DeFi tokens, and has just \u201cflippened\u201d the market capitalization of PancakeSwap (CAKE).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recent rally gives FTM more visibility, potentially lining it up with other DeFi-targeted platforms, including Terra (LUNA), Solana (SOL) and Chainlink (LINK).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fantom Hopes to Build Ethereum-Like Ecosystem<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fantom platform aims to offer all the functionalities of a decentralized product ecosystem, without the inherent limitations of Ethereum. The Fantom blockchain is not entirely free to use, but it is already attracting significant activity, comparable to older platforms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Numbers don&#39;t lie. <br><br>Fantom is now the 4th most used decentralized network in the world.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/twv8hmBFke\">https:\/\/t.co\/twv8hmBFke<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4E5Zx3BSzb\">pic.twitter.com\/4E5Zx3BSzb<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Simone Pomposi (@theotherpomp) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/theotherpomp\/status\/1447576616121548809?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 11, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As of October, the Fantom platform keeps working on expanding its ecosystem, adding DeFi features. So far, the network has only added a handful of distributed apps, and is yet to establish its chief decentralized exchange. Most dApps on Fantom are listed as risky.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building on Fantom continues, with a recently added aggregator for the best passive income in yield farming.

This puts FTM as a mid-range project, competing with new platforms that are quickly catching up with Binance Smart Chain locked value, and taking a piece of the Ethereum ecosystem.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fantom Offers Multi-Chain Access<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The FTM asset exists on three separate blockchains. Of all available tokens, 3.45B exist on the Fantom native blockchain, partially locked for validator nodes. Another 2.13B tokens have moved to Ethereum, and are locked in Binance wallets as well as the Fantom-Ethereum bridge smart contract.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far, 952,500,000 tokens have been bridged to Binance Smart Chain. The token bridges mean FTM has small-scale pairs on the Uniswap and SushiSwap decentralized exchanges. FTM is also available through Binance Smart Chain and the Trust Wallet, in addition to MetaMask. FTM can be withdrawn on multiple blockchains to be used in their respective DeFi protocols.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>FTM Still Depends on Binance Trading<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>FTM is another token where the rapid rally can be ascribed to Binance trading activity. More than 52% of all FTM deals are happening in a single <a href=\"https:\/\/tradersofcrypto.com\/exchanges\/binance\/\">Binance trading pair<\/a>. Recently, large-scale buying has been noticed for FTM, with a significant effect on market prices.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speculations see FTM continue its trek to a higher market price, as it grows its liquidity on the Binance exchange.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">for Fantom to enter top 10 marketcap it would need to be here, Binance USDT depth chart showing this is in the making. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24FTM&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$FTM<\/a> vs <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24DOGE&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$DOGE<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/M0Qlpw49w2\">pic.twitter.com\/M0Qlpw49w2<\/a><\/p>&mdash; buzzkillmane (@realcryptobuzzb) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realcryptobuzzb\/status\/1447599805320990721?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 11, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the problems for FTM may be the temporary suspension of withdrawals from Binance.
