Altcoin survival depends on economic viability and attracting institutional investors. A market purge signals the need for strategic re-entry and project differentiation. Crypto ETFs offer a lifeline to strong projects seeking institutional investment. The cryptocurrency market is changing a lot in 2025, different from the previous times of huge growth. After years of overall market rallies, the time when almost every altcoin surged, may be ending. CryptoQuant CEO: Altcoin Extinction Event Possible Industry experts, like Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, predict that most altcoins could disappear in the coming months. The key to survival then will be to prove they are financially sound and have institutional investor backing. That in the current market situation is what would churn out projects that do well from those that fade away. Altcoins Likely to Outperform in 2025: 1. Potential ETF approvals 2. Sustainable attention drivers 3. Revenue-generating projects The era of everything pumping is over. It’s a selective altseason—most altcoins won’t make it. — Ki Young Ju (@ki_young_ju) February 25, 2025 Market Purge: Correction or Altcoin Apoc… The post Altcoin Purge: Can Crypto ETFs Save Strong Projects from Market Crash? appeared first on Coin Edition.

A SOL whale has unstaked 1,366,028 SOL worth around $198 million. The whale sent tokens to FalconX which deposited 440,202 SOL to Binance and Coinbase. SOL’s transfer volume has crashed from $1.99 billion in November 2024 to just $14.57 million now. Solana (SOL) has been slipping, seeing a big drop in price and activity. Over the last month, SOL is down almost 40%, and the price is now around $140.54. That’s a steep drop from its 2024 high of $264. While the price crash was part of a bigger market downturn, investors are wondering if SOL can bounce back. Whale Activity Sparks Sell-Off Fears Blockchain analysis platform Lookonchain reported that a whale unfroze 1,366,028 SOL (worth about $198 million) and sent it to FalconX. Then, FalconX sent 440,202 SOL ($62.6 million) to exchanges, Binance and Coinbase. This looks like a possible sell-off, adding to negative feelings in the market.

$ETH bullish divergence. I'll keep pointing out bullish signs for Ethereum, whether you like it or not. A short-term rally towards $2,600-$2,700 looks possible. Let's hope it's not a dead cat bounce.

Global crypto investment firm VanEck has asserted that if the government accumulates a strategic reserve of Bitcoin, it could help offset over $20 trillion in U.S. debt by 2049. In a Thursday report, VanEck detailed its projections, outlining how Bitcoin’s appreciation could significantly impact sovereign debt management. “If the U.S. government follows the Bitcoin Act’s proposed path – accumulating 1 million BTC by 2029, our analysis suggests this reserve could offset around $21 trillion of national debt by 2049. That would amount to 18% of total U.S. debt at that time.” The firm noted. Notably, with U.S. national debt currently at $36.22 trillion, VanEck’s assumptions are based on a 5% annual increase, projecting total debt to reach around $116 trillion by 2049. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 25%, potentially reaching $21 million per BTC. The firm’s latest statement builds on its December report, which predicted that a strategic Bitcoin reserve could help the U.S. reduce its national debt by 35% by 2050. At that time, the firm estimated Bitcoin could reach a price of $42.3 million by 2049, while federal obligations could grow to $119.3 trillion. VanEck has also examined potential Bitcoin acquisitions at the state level. A report earlier this month estimated that state-level Bitcoin Strategic Reserve bills could lead to purchases totaling 242,787 BTC, roughly $23.5 billion, further integrating Bitcoin into public finance. The firm further suggested that pension fund investments could increase this figure. The debate over the U.S. using Bitcoin to offset national debt gained momentum after Senator Cynthia Lummis, a prominent Bitcoin advocate, introduced the Bitcoin Act last July. The bill proposes establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve to strengthen the U.S. dollar. Recently, Lummis clarified the act’s intent, stating, “To be clear, the ‘strategic’ purpose of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is to explicitly, strategically, pay down government debt hanging over the head of every American. Put future Americans on a better footing, unencumbered by debt that they never supported or benefited from.” That said, as discussions around a Bitcoin reserve gain traction, prominent figures like Michael Saylor have voiced support, projecting its potential impact on the U.S. economy at $81 trillion. Meanwhile, former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao speculated that if a future Trump administration embraced such policies, it could trigger a “race between states in the digital gold market.”

As Cryptocurrency Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) solidify their position in the broader market, market players await new rollouts. Following the successful integration of Bitcoin—and Ethereum-based ETFs in 2024, community members have heightened their anticipation for a Cardano-based ETF poised to strengthen ADA’s price. A new development from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission fuels this bullish outlook. The regulatory body has officially recognized a Cardano-based Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) filled by leading investment firm Grayscale. The SEC’s acknowledgment of Grayscale’s ETF puts its application ahead of competitors and further demonstrates the regulator’s interest in accommodating altcoin-based ETFs. Notably, the American digital asset management firm Grayscale, with $50 billion worth of assets under management, has advocated for digital asset-based ETPs. ETFs are especially useful for traditional investors seeking to expand their portfolios without wanting to enter the volatile cryptocurrency space directly. Over the years, key figures in the conventional finance space have increased their cryptocurrency holdings through ETFs. After successfully launching a Bitcoin Spot ETF in January 2024, the investment firm has continued to expand its reach. Alongside its Cardano ETF filing, Grayscale has launched several altcoin-based ETFs, centering on altcoins like Dogecoin and Polkadot. Like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), Cardano’s ADA could greatly benefit from the long-term integration of a Cardano-based ETF. Notably, BTC recorded a massive jump in its price value following the inception of several new Bitcoin-based ETFs in the first quarter of the previous year. At report time, Cardano (ADA) faces renewed selling pressure as the global cryptocurrency market bleeds. The asset moved from $0.82 to $0.73 to consolidate at $0.63. At press time, ADA trades at $0.65.
