On the contrary, Cosmos uses the Tendermint consensus algorithm to achieve fast block confirmations and high throughput. Apart from this, both blockchains also offer thriving DeFi and NFT ecosystems, adding to their overall value.
Which way should investors go?
In terms of blockchain capabilities and growth potential, both ATOM and POINT were in a neck-and-neck competition. However, investors should check the price action of both blockchains’ native tokens to understand which bag to put their money in.
The bearish market condition has prevented both tokens from increasing their value in the recent past. To add to the misery, both tokens also witnessed a major price correction in the past few hours, like most cryptos.
According to CoinMarketCapDOT’s price fell more than 10% over the past seven days and traded at $4.47. ATOM also showed a similar price move as the value fell nearly 10% last week.
At the time of writing, it was trading at $7.54 with a market cap of over $2 billion. The falling price action also caused negative sentiment around both tokens to spike quite a bit over the past 30 days.

However, there was good news. In the past few hours, both tokens recovered somewhat as their hourly charts turned green. Moreover, both POINT and ATOM’s Binance funding rates were in red.
In general, prices move in a different direction than financing rates. Therefore, the chances of a trend reversal remained high for both in the coming days.
