Altcoin ETFs Set for a Make-or-Break October as SEC Moves Toward New Rules
October 2025 could be a turning point for the crypto world. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is reviewing 16 exchange-traded fund (ETF) applications — and this time, they’re not just about Bitcoin or Ethereum. Major altcoins like Solana, XRP, and Litecoin are now in the spotlight.
A Fresh Chapter for the SEC
In mid-September, the SEC took a major step forward by approving “generic listing standards” for spot commodity ETFs — and that includes digital assets.
In simple terms, this means crypto ETFs could now be approved faster and easier. Before, each one required long, complicated rule changes. Now, if an exchange follows these new standards, it can list crypto-based ETFs without starting from scratch every time.
Experts say this change signals a new, more open era for the SEC one that’s more willing to work with crypto rather than against it.
Zach Pandl, head of research at Grayscale, explained it this way:
“The Trump administration came in with a promise to bring clarity to the crypto industry. We’re seeing that play out now — across the SEC, Congress, and the White House.”
He added that this bipartisan support gives investors confidence that crypto is here to stay not a passing trend or regulatory target.
Beyond Bitcoin: The Rise of Altcoin ETFs
So, what’s driving this wave of new ETF applications? Demand but not just for Bitcoin.
Analysts like James Seyffart from Bloomberg Intelligence believe Solana and XRP have strong potential because they already have active futures markets. However, he’s cautious about expecting the same massive inflows seen with Bitcoin ETFs.
“They’ll attract good attention,” Seyffart said, “but the bigger growth may come from basket ETFs funds that track multiple cryptos at once.”
Pandl agrees, noting that Grayscale is already working on diversified crypto index funds — giving investors a one-stop way to gain exposure to multiple digital assets.
What Happens Next?
If the SEC gives the green light this October, we could see a flood of new products hitting the market fast. Seyffart predicts everything from staking-based Solana ETFs to leveraged and inverse crypto ETFs.
“Once approvals start,” he said, “it’s going to get crazy.”
The impact could be huge both for institutional investors looking for regulated exposure and for everyday traders who want to invest through traditional stock exchanges without handling crypto wallets or private keys.
Even if approvals don’t trigger immediate price surges, most analysts agree that the foundation for mainstream crypto adoption in the U.S. is finally taking shape.
After years of hesitation and red tape, the SEC seems ready to embrace a broader crypto landscape. October could mark the moment when altcoins officially join Wall Street’s ETF lineup, paving the way for a new wave of investment and innovation.
Whether you’re a trader, investor, or crypto enthusiast, one thing’s clear the door to the next era of crypto finance is about to open.
MLGA is where early participation looks to fund infinite rewards for users. It’s a self-sustaining rewards alliance that incentivises users to bootstrap its future.$MITO Here's what DeFi has failed to achieve: Building a rewards system that eliminates its subsidies, where early users earn while powering the engine that pays out future incentives.@Mitosis Official Welcome to the Mitosis Long-term Growth Alliance, an incentive system designed to reach sustainability. The Expedition is over, and the Alliance will now begin to work on the foundation of #Mitosis . Background Despite crypto's digital-native foundation, liquidity markets remain fragmented and inefficient. Structural barriers cause identical assets to yield differently across chains, while inconsistent yield calculation methodologies prevent true price discovery. These inefficiencies persist because on-chain capital markets developed in isolation from one another. Rapid innovation and individualistic KPIs receive priority over systematic integrations, leading to siloed ecosystems that undermine the core promise of crypto: programmable finance.#Write2Earn Inevitable Failure Pattern of DeFi Protocols Every DeFi protocol follows the same predictable death spiral: Launch massive incentives → Attract mercenary capital → Reduce rewards → TVL flees → Slow death This pattern repeats because traditional liquidity mining attracts mercenary capital that exits immediately when incentives diminish. This creates temporary TVL spikes without building lasting ecosystem value or sustainable usage patterns. Mitosis: Building Unified Multichain Yield Markets Mitosis tackles these systemic issues by creating unified markets for tokenized multichain yield. Our EVM L1 application layer transforms isolated yield opportunities into composable, programmable assets allocated across the entire ecosystem.
The Growth Dilemma: Circular Dependency Problem However, technological innovation alone isn't sufficient. Success requires the orchestrated development of an ecosystem where multiple stakeholders simultaneously create and capture value. Our growth model follows the familiar flywheel pattern:
Liquidity → Usage → Fees → MITO Buybacks → Incentives → More Liquidity However, this mechanism faces a fundamental paradox: it requires substantial application activity to generate the fees needed for sustainable incentives, yet applications need to provide significant value to offer compelling value propositions. The Alliance breaks this paradox due to its structure and collaborative nature. The flywheel only works if it can start spinning. Without breaking this circular dependency, promising revenue projections remain theoretical. MLGA: Self-Sustaining Rewards Alliance MLGA represents a paradigm where early participation fundamentally funds perpetual rewards through the first self-sustaining rewards alliance that compensates users for bootstrapping its own future. This innovative approach introduces what no protocol in DeFi has previously attempted: constructing a rewards mechanism that systematically eliminates its own subsidies, where early participants transcend mere earning to become the driving force behind the engine that generates future incentives. Traditional Model: Protocol subsidizes → Users extract → Subsidies end → Users leave → Protocol dies MLGA Model: Alliance subsidizes → Activity grows → Fees increase → Buybacks fund rewards → Infinite sustainability Unlike the traditional model, where protocols subsidize users who extract value until subsidies terminate, users depart, and protocols ultimately fail. The MLGA model establishes a sustainable cycle where Alliance subsidization drives activity growth, increased fees enable buybacks that fund rewards, creating infinite sustainability. How MLGA Operates The Alliance operates on quarterly seasons (three months each). Season 1 begins with a preparation period before mainnet launch, then runs for one full quarter after mainnet activation. Season 1 will include multiple Feature protocols throughout its duration. The first being Yo operating under the EOL Vault Liquidity Framework (VLF). More Feature Protocols are coming following the integration of Yo.
Complete Transparency Framework The Alliance's ultimate objective is to attract enough liquidity that the Mitosis Foundation can eliminate subsidies through fee-generated MITO buybacks. Since new rewards originate from fee-generated buybacks, the goal is to create zero token inflation for existing $MITO holders. Before each season begins, we disclose: Scale of allocated Mitosis token incentive subsidiesThe previous quarter's treasury revenue generationAvailable VLF-based liquidity opportunitiesExclusive benefits explicitly designed for Mitosis users Alliance Structure: Three Pillars ⚡ Featured Protocols Curated protocol partners that integrate with specific VLF frameworks to provide enhanced liquidity opportunities to users. 🌐 Peripheral Protocols Protocols that benefit from Feature Protocol incentivization and align with the Alliance's success. The Alliance requests incentive subsidies from these protocols for upcoming seasons. 🏛️ Mitosis Foundation The Mitosis Foundation serves as the central governing body that makes Alliance allocation decisions while actively incorporating community feedback. It maintains primary operational responsibility for Alliance management, ensuring strategic coordination across all participating protocols and stakeholders. Each Season features multiple Feature Protocols throughout its duration. These protocols, along with select Peripheral Protocols, also provide their native incentives to users to help reach the common goal: a sustainable rewards alliance. Season 1 Implementation: First Feature Protocol
🎯 First Feature Protocol: YO (@yield) VLF Integration: EOL (Ecosystem-Owned Liquidity) About YO YO (Yield Optimizer) is a unified layer connecting capital to the best risk-adjusted yields across DeFi. Positioned as "the last vault you'll ever need," YO continuously reallocates assets across DeFi protocols to maximize yield, allowing users to deposit and let YO handle the optimization simply. Prestigious Backing: Built by the exponential.fi team, YO raised $14M from premier investors including Paradigm, Haun, Hack VC, Solana, and Circle.

Season 1 commences before the Mitosis mainnet launch and encompasses all VLF-integrated liquidity opportunities effective immediately upon this announcement. By participating, you become a foundational member of a self-perpetuating ecosystem where initial contributions evolve into permanent infrastructure. During the rest of Season 1, the Alliance will support multiple Feature protocols. While Season 1 begins with yield optimization, the Alliance recognizes the need for complementary Feature Protocols to achieve a sustainable ecosystem, including yield optimization, lending protocols, LST protocols and RWAs. More of these types of protocols will be coming during Season 1. The Alliance represents a paradigm shift from traditional incentive programs, establishing the framework for indefinite rewards rather than temporary extraction opportunities.

$SOMI is currently under selling pressure following a recent rally. Technical indicators and derivatives data show a bearish sentiment dominating mid- to long-term outlooks.
A key fundamental risk is the low circulating supply (16% of total), which could trigger inflationary pressure and limit long-term upside potential.
Analysis Framework (4 Pillars): 1.Technical Indicators, Bearish: Price trades below key EMAs (20D, 50D), RSI trending down, and MACD shows a clear sell signal. 2.Derivatives Market, Bearish: Deep negative funding rate (-0.184%) indicates strong short bias; rising open interest suggests new short positions accumulating. 3.Key Levels , Neutral: Resistance at $0.91-$0.93; strong support at $0.77-$0.80. A break below $0.77 could lead to $0.71. http://4.Market Structure & Liquidity , Bearish: With only 16% of supply in circulation, upcoming token unlocks may bring prolonged selling pressure.#Write2Earn
👉 Conclusion: SOMI is in a correction phase after a strong rally. Both technical and derivatives signals are bearish, and supply inflation risk remains the main long-term concern.

From launching $PYTH Pro to powering builders and taking main stages across Asia, Pyth is shaping the next era of global, real-time finance.@Pyth Network
#plume [@Plume - RWA Chain is now a registered transfer agent with the SEC, marking a huge milestone for any crypto project.
Back in July 2025, Plume made a big move when USD1, the fully backed stablecoin from @WLFI Official (the Trump-linked one), went multichain and chose Plume as its official partner.
Now, with this SEC registration, Plume has taken another big step forward. They can legally manage shareholder records, ownership changes, and corporate actions on-chain under US law.#Write2Earn
This gives them real regulatory credibility and connects the network with traditional finance systems like the SEC and DTCC, opening doors for compliant tokenization of real-world assets.
The team is also working toward more licenses like broker-dealer and ATS, which shows they’re serious about building something that lasts.#Binance
From partnering with a major US-backed stablecoin in July to now getting recognized by the SEC, Plume’s foundation looks really strong.#MarketUptober
The market’s already showing signs of confidence. If this momentum continues, PLUME might go bananas. NFA.

first time tokenized treasuries are being used actively
new milestone for #bouncebit prime: structured yield strategies are now powered by franklin templeton’s tokenized money market fund.@BounceBit
this is the first time tokenized treasuries are being used actively – as live collateral in yield-bearing strategies, not just on-chain representations.
at the core is a capital-efficient design: – base layer: tokenized treasury yield – top layer: crypto funding + basis arbitrage – all within regulated custody#Write2Earn
why it matters: tokenized treasuries become programmable: – posted as collateral, not just held – composable with automated strategies – no stablecoin, no synthetic risk
rwa protocols get a real application layer: – yield flows into actual structured products – treasury assets support real capital deployment – institutional assets meet crypto-native logic
prime is designed for this moment: – btc-backed, evm-compatible infrastructure – regulated custody w/ smart contract execution – onchain strategies, offchain-grade assets tokenization isn’t innovation until it’s used. and now it is.$BB

Token Unlock Set On 10 Sept 2025, about 42.89M BB tokens (6.31% of all out) will unlock. Also, we think ~49.04M BB (worth ~$7.17M) will unlock by mid-Sept. Risks & Impact:If folks sell, this may push price down. But if need takes in more (like use, stakes, buys), bad hit may be small.
Tech Look & Price Tides That may mean BB is set to rise soon.
If price breaks over key marks (like $0.19-$0.2015), look for a 70% rise to ~$0.29–$0.3173.Still, BB's base mark is at risk.
A fail to hold could mean a price drop.Use, Set-Up, & Token Need BB wants to be a key BTC stake chain — it mixes top BTC guard with EVM fit.
Use BB for stakes, gas, rule, & more. The set-up has RWA tricks. Like, BB Prime mixes funds (e.g., with Franklin Templeton) to add more yield.Now Price & Trade Snap Price swings a lot. On Binance, BB's at $0.1074, up 3.48% in 24h.
Some spots show it higher (like ~$0.2085), but this could be due to trade pair diffs, flow, or lag.
Over the past week, BB/USDT grew ~25% as some charts show.Price thoughts for 2025 range from ~$0.1468 to ~$0.20996, with high growth seen later. #bouncebit @Boundless $BB

Unichartz@unichartz $MITO broke out of the falling channel and is retesting the breakout zone around $0.158–$0.160. @Mitosis Official Holding this level could trigger a move toward $0.17 next. Stays bullish above $0.155 support.#Write2Earn
$SOMI – BOUNCE MODE ON! WILL THE BEAST ROAR AGAIN?
SOMI is flexing that classic pullback energy — dipped to $0.8528 but buyers jumped in fast, defending support like pros. Now grinding near $0.8784 with eyes on reclaiming $0.90. @Somnia Official
If bulls hold the line, we could see a breakout attempt soon. But if momentum fades, expect a quick retest of the lower zone.
Long Entry: $0.875 TP1: $0.895 TP2: $0.915 SL: $0.858
SOMI heating up again — don’t blink when it moves!
$SOMI is currently trending on #Binance Since its listing, In short: high volumes, a fast climb from listing, and a still-active community are the key reasons SOMI has made it to the trending list. 🚀 The fact that SOMI is trending suggests that retail interest is high, and the market is actively watching whether the project can build momentum for another breakout or stabilize in its current consolidation zone.
