So, what makes this moment so unique? Unleash all the details, including regulatory circumstances, market trends, important signals. Everything refers to potential October pumps. So stay to the end and don’t miss this internal analysis. This is your October pump altcoin.
Cardano ($ ada)
For Cardano ($ADA) and all other Altcoins, as I will explain today, ETF approval is imminent in October. Cardano’s approval date is set for October 26th. By that day, the SEC must decide on Grayscale $ADA ETF filing. We’ve already expanded this review at various times. The SEC approves or rejects Grayscale $ADA ETF filing. So this time it’s all or nothing.
According to Polymarket, there are currently 90% approval expectations. Polymarket is a prediction and betting platform. Therefore, such SEC approval is an important milestone for Cardano. It could lead to major price movements and institutional influx.
The SEC has also made some changes to the review process. Reduced maximum time between filing and starting up the ETF. Previously, this was 240 days. It’s only 75 days now. Therefore, it is good to see the changes in the US ETF landscape. There could be considerable volatility until October 26th. On the other hand, market expectations are high.
I definitely should see Cardano next month 🔥

The current $ADA price is 79 cents, which looks like a good entryway. $ ADA’s market capitalization is $28.9 billion. $ADA’s ATH is still $3.09 since September 2021.
Ripple ($xrp)
Ripple ($XRP) has several more spot ETF filings pending. There are six pending $XRP Spot ETF filings that the SEC is expected to decide in October 2025. The final approval date is packed with timelines as follows:
- October 18th: Grayscale XRP ETF decided
- October 19th: 21 share XRP ETF decided
- October 20th: Bitwise XRP ETF decided
- October 23rd: Coinshare and Canary Capital XRP ETF decision

There is also Franklin Templeton XRP ETF filing. However, the SEC is not expected to control this until November 14th. So it’s time for a busy ETF for Ripple, as you can see. Looking at Polymarket, our expectations are 97%.

These submissions were made under a 240-day ruling. Therefore, there is no guarantee that the SEC will approve them. Of course, there is always a possibility that the SEC will not approve these submissions. However, if that’s the case, expect an updated filing under the new 75-day fast track control. This will bring the launch back in the first quarter of 2026. On the other hand, approvals show that the price of $XRP is flying.
I’ve done more research #xrp #etfs If the October deadline falls under the old 240-day process, it’s unlikely that the SEC will approve it. XRP futures will only reach the six-month mark on October 21, so filings could be denied and redeposited in the new 75 days… pic.twitter.com/zp5xfz1twf

The current $XRP price is $2.85 and its market capitalization is $170 billion. A $XRP of under $3 looks like a good entry point.
solana ($ sol)
Solana ($sol) is next in line for today’s Altcoins for approval of the SEC ETF in October. A 5$ SOL ETF filing will be SEC reviewed between October 10th and 16th.
Solana’s momentum is building fast

There are heavy batters involved in these submissions. For example, Grayscale, Vaneck, 21shares, Canary, and Bitise. Like a ripple, they were still submitted under the 240-day rules.
In early September, Polymarket saw an 82% chance of approval this year. With approval, Solana will become the third major layer 1 network to gain regulated ETF access in the US. That’s after Bitcoin and Ethereum, of course. Such approvals probably attract billions of institutional influx. Needless to say, it will cause a surge in prices.

Personally, I think it’s close to 100%.

Recent changes to SEC rules create a different regulatory environment. Especially if the Genius Stablecoin Act is also installed. These should have a positive impact on the development of Solana ecosystems. For example, that defi use case.
sec has approved the new listing rules.
Spot Crypto ETFs (XRP, SOL, etc.) can now be released in just 75 days from the 240.

Recently, the $sol price has risen to $250. However, in the current market situation, all altcoins are suffering. The current $SOL price is $209 and its market capitalization is $113 billion. Note that $sol has an infinite supply. Still, on Bull Run, $sol can go between $800 and $1,000.
ChainLink ($link)
ChainLink ($link) currently has two major $link ETF filings in the SEC.
- Grayscale submitted its S-1 registration for the Spot $link ETF on September 4, 2025. I want to convert my existing ChainLink Trust into SpotETF trading for NYSE Arca. The ticker will be $glnk.

- Bitwise applied for the Link ETF on August 26, 2025. Coinbase custody was proposed as a custodian.

However, there is no exact decision date yet that has been publicly announced. Therefore, both filings are waiting for these dates to be announced. Nonetheless, the fourth quarter 2025 date is expected.
ChainLink is working hard to strengthen institutional credibility. We recently announced two major partnerships.
- Intercontinental exchange (ice). This leads to high-quality forex and precious metal data in a chain.
We look forward to unveiling Intercontinental Exchange (@ICE_MARKETS) and ChainLink work together to bring ChainLink to the on-chain of high quality forex and precious metals data.

- US Department of Commerce. This leads to chain of macroeconomic data from the US government.
We look forward to announce ChainLink and the US Department of Commerce (@commercegov) cooperated in fostering the US government’s on-chain macroeconomic data.

These partnerships reinforce the role of chain links as decentralized oracle providers. Bridge tradfi with web3.
So when I look at the price of $link, I always wonder why it’s not at least $100. However, the current $link price is $21.28 and its market capitalization is $14 billion. In my book, the price of $20 is a good entry for $link.
Stellar ($xlm)
Stellar ($XLM) is considering two Spot ETF filings. here it is.
- Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF. This is the main ETF that holds a star ($XLM) approved by the SEC as of September 24, 2025. This filing operates under new streamlined listing rules. In other words, there is a window of 75 days of approval by the SEC. This ETF also includes $XRP and $SOL.
hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF is now able to hold non-assets as of September 25th. $ BTC and $ eththis marks one of the first ETFs that hold a star $ xlmit accounts for 0.34% of the funds along $ xrp & $ sol.

Both filings have a timeline of expected reviews and potential approvals for the second half of 2025. This could also be at the beginning of 2026.
But first, let’s go back to the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF. As you can see, this is a US-regulated ETF portfolio. This makes the star more accessible to institutional investors and retail investors. It could increase liquidity and prices. This is due to increased demand due to regulated channels.
Let’s go now…

The current $XLM price is 36 cents and its market capitalization is $11.6 billion. It’s falling a little that day, but it’s up 275% over the course of a year.
