Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe’s altcoin portfolio sits at $80,000, down from the $160,000 he originally invested. This week he made one change he believes will fundamentally improve his long-term returns. He handed trade decision authority to an AI.

Van de Poppe has integrated Claude as a full-time sparring partner for every position in his altcoin portfolio, building a custom framework around sigma deviations, RSI triggers, and Bitcoin correlation analysis that generates specific buy and sell signals rather than general market commentary.

Where the AI Already Overruled Him

The most revealing moment came when Van de Poppe wanted to sell a position and Claude told him to wait.

The AI analysed the framework, reviewed the charts, and concluded the asset had not yet reached the exit zone. Van de Poppe held. He admitted it felt uncomfortable sitting on a 41% portfolio allocation into a single asset while the AI was saying do nothing.

“It clearly says it starts to get into a run at this point. There are still a lot of levels to go before we can start selling,” the framework indicated on his NEAR position, with the exit zone set between €1.75 and €1.85 before any trimming begins.

The Trades He Did Make

Van de Poppe sold Renzo at 7 cents, which he described as a good trade. He then rotated those proceeds into Wormhole, which he acknowledged was a mistake as Bitcoin pulled back and altcoin volatility amplified the move lower.

He also sold $500 of PEAK after the sigma extension and RSI hit overbought levels on the daily chart, the same technical setup that preceded a 30% correction in three days during a prior cycle.

Why He Is Building This

Van de Poppe has experienced 70% to 80% portfolio drawdowns over the past year and a half by trading emotionally through volatile altcoin cycles. His conclusion was that most trading mistakes are emotional. AI has no emotions.

He is now building a Telegram-connected dashboard that will send automated buy and sell signals when the framework triggers, removing the need for manual intervention entirely.

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

The post CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CME Group is preparing to launch options on SOL and XRP futures next month, giving traders new ways to manage exposure to the two assets.  The contracts are set to go live on October 13, pending regulatory approval, and will come in both standard and micro sizes with expiries offered daily, monthly and quarterly. The new listings mark a major step for CME, which first brought bitcoin futures to market in 2017 and added ether contracts in 2021. Solana and XRP futures have quickly gained traction since their debut earlier this year. CME says more than 540,000 Solana contracts (worth about $22.3 billion), and 370,000 XRP contracts (worth $16.2 billion), have already been traded. Both products hit record trading activity and open interest in August. Market makers including Cumberland and FalconX plan to support the new contracts, arguing that institutional investors want hedging tools beyond bitcoin and ether. CME’s move also highlights the growing demand for regulated ways to access a broader set of digital assets. The launch, which still needs the green light from regulators, follows the end of XRP’s years-long legal fight with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. A federal court ruling in 2023 found that institutional sales of XRP violated securities laws, but programmatic exchange sales did not. The case officially closed in August 2025 after Ripple agreed to pay a $125 million fine, removing one of the biggest uncertainties hanging over the token. This is a developing story.
