Cosmos (ATOM) Just Broke Past $8 For the First Time Ever
Just minutes, the price of Cosmos (ATOM) surpassed $8 for the first time ever. As of this article’s writing, the price of the cryptocurrency is $8.25 — up over 30% in the past 24 hours alone.
This means that ATOM is outpacing all other cryptocurrencies in the top 100. Bitcoin, for instance, has rallied a mere 0.25% in the past 24 hours as the cryptocurrency enters a consolidation pattern.
BTC actually consolidating is actually what is partially enabling this rally as altcoins thrive in periods of low volatility.

ATOM may be limited in its ability to rally over time, though.
Kelvin Koh, a partner at The Spartan Group and a partner at Goldman Sachs, said that ATOM only captures a part of the value of the Cosmos ecosystem, which is different than other cryptocurrencies:
$ATOM captures only part of the value of the Cosmos ecosystem ie there are other hubs. $DOT represents the value of the entire Polkadot ecosystem.
