The decisions regarding ETFs for XRP and Solana altcoins from the SEC in the coming weeks could emerge at any time, making the market reach an incredibly tense period. These decisions could represent historic turning points that bring Crypto into TradFi.

Therefore, during these days, prices can be extremely volatile, and with Institutional Money eagerly watching, let's explore the reasons why these five Altcoins are currently so hot.

Solana (SOL)

Solana is currently one of the main Altcoins awaiting a Spot ETF. Prominent companies like Bitwise, 21Shares, and Fidelity have applied for SOL ETFs, making its prospects clearer.

"What happens if Solana ETF gets confirmed?" is the main topic of discussion in the current market. Currently, SOL's velocity and price affordability are attracting the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) world. With the ETF confirmation, Wall Street's powerful financial institutions will be able to enter more easily.

Currently, before confirmation, prices are highly volatile, and as the saying goes, "Buy the Rumor, Sell the News," there could be significant volatility both when decisions are made and after.

Ripple (XRP)

XRP has reached a state that can be defined as having completed its litigation with the SEC, making it the closest project for Institutional Acceptance. The decisions regarding XRP ETFs from 21Shares and other companies are expected around mid-October, creating a highly anticipated situation.

If XRP ETF is confirmed, it will be regarded as XRP being officially recognized as a monetary transfer Asset. Previously, due to legal issues, investment institutions that were hesitant can now enter through a secure ETF pathway.

For XRP, this October could see prices surge significantly if confirmed, but if delayed or rejected, it could lead to a massive impact in the market.

Why is LINK hot? Although LINK does not yet have a Spot ETF, it acts as an 'Oracle' that securely transports data from the Real World to the Blockchain. Currently, the trend of Real-World Asset (RWA) Tokenization is gaining momentum. As companies like BlackRock and J.P. Morgan focus on RWA, the need to utilize Chainlink is increasing.

LINK could become part of RWA-Focused ETFs and Multi-Asset ETFs. Currently collaborating with well-known rating agencies like S&P Global enhances its Institutional Utility.

LINK's price reacts more to news about partnerships with large organizations than to ETF news. Even if it's not included in an ETF, it will still be a project with a solid foundation for the long term.

Stellar (XLM)

XLM's aim is to create a cost-effective and high-speed payment channel for large organizations. ETPs related to XLM have started trading on European stock exchanges, and there is increasing enthusiasm for ETF confirmations in the US. If confirmed, it will affirm that using Crypto in the Global Payment Sector is legitimate, secure, and investment-grade. Due to XLM's smaller market size, the amounts coming in from ETFs can significantly boost its price.

Cardano (ADA)

Cardano is a 'Third Generation' Blockchain and, based on a scientific approach, is a system that large organizations can trust. Companies like VanEck have submitted applications for ADA Spot ETFs, so we should keep an eye on that.

The confirmation of ADA ETF builds Institutional Confidence for PoS (Proof-of-Stake) systems. It is also interesting to see whether investors can receive Staking Rewards. Currently, analysts say that ADA's decision may be delayed until November or even 2026.

This October is indeed a month that could shake the Crypto market significantly, as you all know. Additionally, once the SEC says "Yes," prices could soar like a rocket, but if they say "No," it could also lead to a major drop, so we need to be cautious.
