The post Top Altcoins To Buy Before The ETF Season Kicks In appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

The crypto market is moving into a new phase. With U.S. regulators approving fresh standards for exchange-traded funds (ETFs), a number of leading altcoins are now in line for listings. This could shape how investors position themselves in the months ahead.

SEC Approval Opens ETF Path

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund, which holds Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA). At the same time, the SEC cleared generic listing standards for ETFs across major exchanges, including NASDAQ, NYSE, and CBOE.

This means digital asset ETFs that meet the requirements can now move forward without the long delays seen in past filings. Approvals that once took months could now take weeks.

Altcoins That Qualify

According to analyst Dan, twelve cryptocurrencies currently meet the SEC’s threshold, as they have six months of futures trading on CFTC-regulated markets. They are:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Ethereum (ETH)
  • Dogecoin (DOGE)
  • Litecoin (LTC)
  • Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
  • Chainlink (LINK)
  • Stellar (XLM)
  • Avalanche (AVAX)
  • Shiba Inu (SHIB)
  • Polkadot (DOT)
  • Solana (SOL)
  • Cardano (ADA)

Cardano only recently cleared the six-month mark, placing it at the edge of eligibility.

What It Means for Altcoins

The total market cap for altcoins, excluding Bitcoin, is showing signs of a breakout after more than a year of consolidation. Ethereum remains important. If it can hold above resistance near $4,700, it could signal strength for the wider market.

However, when Ethereum ETFs launched in July 2024, the price did not climb straight away. Instead, the market went through a period of volatility. A similar pattern could play out again.

Conclusion

ETF approvals are a strong signal for institutional adoption, but prices may not move in a straight line. The current cycle has been steady, with false breakouts followed by pullbacks. Investors will need to track weekly closes and Bitcoin’s dominance to understand where the market stands.

As ETF season approaches, the focus will likely remain on Ethereum, Cardano, Solana, Dogecoin, and Chainlink. These coins, along with others on the approved list, are now positioned at the front of this new phase in crypto markets.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
