SEC gives green light for tokenized stocks: no-action letter for DTCC – a big step for RWA, could boost ETH and altcoins.
Token unlocks coming: $666 million will be released this week (ZRO, ARB, SEI) – could cause additional selling pressure.
Latest analysis for altcoins:
ZEC +25% weekly: top winner, supported by Dynamic Fee proposal – target $500 by end of 2025.
MNT +18%: strong Layer-2, volume +200% – forecasts $1.27-$1.50.
Chainlink (LINK): at $12.70, weak momentum – if it breaks $14, it could rise to $15.50, but sellers are strong.
Aster and others: altcoins to watch this week, with whale activity in PEPE and BONK (+12-18%).
