Breaking development in the crypto ETF space: 21Shares just submitted an 8(a) filing for their XRP spot ETF. Here's why this matters - if the SEC doesn't respond within 20 days, the application gets approved automatically. That's a pretty significant procedural move that could accelerate the timeline for XRP institutional products hitting the market.

The top player on the Hyperliquid platform's profit leaderboard recently reduced their XRP long positions. This major holder still holds a long position worth $1.56 million in XRP, with an average entry price around $2.33. Could this reduction be hinting at some market sentiment signals?

It seems that every year in Q4, the altcoin season is kicked off by the "veterans" – the coins that have gone through many market cycles. → In 2024, the leading group is XLM, XRP, and ADA – three names associated with the speculative waves of the previous phase. → In 2025, we will see a similar phenomenon with ZEC and ICP – projects that seemed to have "fallen asleep" suddenly being pulled back strongly, marking the start of a new wave of activity in the altcoin market. If we look at the familiar pattern of Q4, it is highly likely that the next name will come from the "old coin" group like ETC or LTC – coins with a long history, high liquidity, and easy to create FOMO effects. When the market starts looking for opportunities in "forgotten" tokens, it is often a signal that the flow of money is shifting - from large projects to mid-tier coins, and then spreading throughout the market. ➡️ Therefore, observing old coins like ETC, LTC, NEO, or DASH during this stage is noteworthy. Once real money starts flowing into this group, it is very likely that the altcoin season for the end of the year has officially begun.
