With decentralized finance (DeFi) gaining more traction, Radix (XRD) is touted to be one of the pioneers of this technological shift. It is a blockchain platform that enables the development of innovative DeFi applications.
XRD, Radix’s native token, is one of the worst performers in the market today, recording an 11% loss in the past 24 hours. However, it is worth noting that the general altcoin market is in red today, as most assets are currently in a slight decline.

Whether XRD will resume its bullish trajectory remains to be seen. According to the price prediction site CoinCodex, Radix is expected to rise by more than 31% and cross the $0.1 price point in the next month.
The General Altcoin Market Suffers Slight Decline
The Radix token is not the only altcoin experiencing a price dip at the moment. Generally, the altcoin market is currently on a decline, with most tokens registering slight losses in the past 24 hours.
BNB, for example, has lost 3.2% of its value in the past day. XRP, ADA, and the popular meme coin DOGE are among the other top 10 cryptocurrencies in the red today. As of this writing, the altcoin market cap stands at around $321 billion, representing a nearly 2% drop in the last day.

A broader look at the market shows that altcoins are 20% below their April high. According to crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen, this demonstrates that altcoins (collectively) offer more risk than reward when compared to Bitcoin.
That said, some major tokens, such as Stellar (XLM) and Kaspa (KAS) are doing well in the market today, with gains of 5% and 3.5%, respectively.
