ETFs to drive XRP and Solana price rally as institutions rotate from Bitcoin, analysts say

Wall Street betting on XRP and Solana will drive up the price of those assets as altcoin exchange-traded funds gain momentum, analysts say.

Newly launched US spot ETFs’ ability to attract institutional investors will catapult XRP and Solana’s prices by 33% and 10% respectively, Ray Youssef, CEO of crypto trading platform NoOnes, told DL News.

Regulated products “create a steady inflow channel that can serve as a liquidity buffer for the current market environment,” he said.

Youssef added that institutional demand for regulated exposure to non-Bitcoin assets is accelerating, even in one of the toughest macro backdrops of the year.

He’s not alone in being bullish on XRP and Solana on the back of the new ETFs. Analysts have previously told DL News that they expect XRP to hit $2.50 and Solana to hit $160. XRP currently trades at $2.20 and Solana at $136.

The comments come as newly launched XRP and Solana ETFs have attracted just over $955 million in sales over the past month, according to SoSoValue.

Those inflows mark a dramatic divergence from Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs that have seen investors sell their positions to the tune of $3.7 billion and $1.6 billion respectively over the same period.

The optimism about altcoins arrives just as the broader crypto market has climbed roughly 2% to be worth a little over $3 trillion over the past 24 hours.

Elsewhere, tech stocks led a global rally this week as traders priced in a growing chance of a Federal Reserve rate cut in December, lifting risk appetite and breathing life back into crypto’s beaten-down altcoin complex.

The odds of a cut in interest rates jumped after New York Fed President John Williams said last week that they could come in the “near term,” while Fed governor Chris Waller added even more fuel to that fire on Monday.

The CME FedWatch tool now assigns roughly 81% odds to a December rate cut, up sharply from last week. Bettors on Polymarket also took into account fresh Fed governor comments, predicting a 83% chance of a cut.

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

The post Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Google has announced the launch of a new open-source protocol called Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) in partnership with Coinbase, the Ethereum Foundation, and 60 other organizations. This allows AI agents to make payments on behalf of users using various methods such as real-time bank transfers, credit and debit cards, and, most importantly, stablecoins. Let’s explore in detail what this could mean for the broader cryptocurrency markets, and also highlight a presale crypto (Best Wallet Token) that could explode as a result of this development. Google’s Push for Stablecoins Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) uses digital contracts known as ‘Intent Mandates’ and ‘Verifiable Credentials’ to ensure that AI agents undertake only those payments authorized by the user. Mandates, by the way, are cryptographically signed, tamper-proof digital contracts that act as verifiable proof of a user’s instruction. For example, let’s say you instruct an AI agent to never spend more than $200 in a single transaction. This instruction is written into an Intent Mandate, which serves as a digital contract. Now, whenever the AI agent tries to make a payment, it must present this mandate as proof of authorization, which will then be verified via the AP2 protocol. Alongside this, Google has also launched the A2A x402 extension to accelerate support for the Web3 ecosystem. This production-ready solution enables agent-based crypto payments and will help reshape the growth of cryptocurrency integration within the AP2 protocol. Google’s inclusion of stablecoins in AP2 is a massive vote of confidence in dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies and a huge step toward making them a mainstream payment option. This widens stablecoin usage beyond trading and speculation, positioning them at the center of the consumption economy. The recent enactment of the GENIUS Act in the U.S. gives stablecoins more structure and legal support. Imagine paying for things like data crawls, per-task…
