Swedish asset manager Virtune launched Avalanche ($AVAX) and Cardano ($ADA) exchange-traded products (ETPs) on the Finnish market.
Previously, Virtue rolled out $BTC, $SOL, and XRP ETPs, as well as the Crypto Altcoin Index ETP, which gives exposure to the top 10 cryptos at once.
BlackRock, the largest $BTC ETF issuer in the US, is only reportedly preparing to launch a $BTC ETP in Europe.
The demand for crypto among European investors is evidently growing, which suggests the bull run is far from over.
Virtue’s ETPs could push $AVAX and $ADA to new heights due to accelerated adoption and set a precedent for other fund managers to launch altcoin products.
In light of this news, we share the five most promising altcoins to buy now.
Solaxy ($SOLX) Bridges Solana With Ethereum, Enhances Its Efficiency
The market cap of Solana ecosystem tokens grew 120% last month alone. That’s a double-edged sword because Solana isn’t ready to handle such a surge in activity.
Solaxy ($SOLX) could help Solana handle this ever-increasing workload by offloading part of transactions to its Layer-2 chain. In fact, this is the first hybrid Layer-2 solution that connected Solana with Ethereum.
Solaxy’s goal is to speed up processing, lower fees, and eliminate congestion on the Solana mainnet. This would allow more projects to launch on Solana without compromising user experience.
The project’s native token, $SOLX, is now available on presale at $0.001626, but the price will increase in 23 hours. Early adopters have invested $18.2M so far and staked 5B tokens at a 222% APY.
MIND of Pepe ($MIND) Empowers Its Community With Data-Driven Insights
Autonomous agents are a new wave of AI evolution. Unlike bots that only follow pre-programmed instructions, AI agents can make decisions, solve problems, and learn independently.
MIND of Pepe ($MIND) blends this next-gen technology with the viral appeal of Pepe the Frog. As a self-sovereign agent, MIND of Pepe analyzes data from crypto aggregators and social media to gauge market trends and sentiment.
As a result, MIND of Pepe can deliver unbiased, real-time trading insights to its community, engage in discussions with other users, and launch its own tokens.
$MIND token holders will gain exclusive access to the agent’s knowledge and governance rights. With one token worth $0.0032662, now is the best time to join the community. Analysts expect $MIND to explode after major exchanges confirm its listings, so the first adopters are up for the highest returns.
Best Wallet Token ($BEST) Offers Exclusive Benefits in the Fastest-Growing Wallet Ecosystem
Best Wallet is the fastest-growing crypto wallet ecosystem currently on the market, rapidly approaching its goal of capturing 40% of the market by 2026.
This non-custodial hit wallet lets you store (obviously), buy, sell, swap, and stake assets across several blockchains. But its standout feature is the Token Launchpad, which gives access to all of the best presales from one app.
The $BEST token presale hit the ground running recently and already generated $9.2M in funding, most of which will go toward the platform’s improvement.
$BEST holders gain a range of benefits within the ecosystem, including higher staking yields, lower transaction fees, and governance rights.
With a price of $0.023875, set to increase in 13 hours, there will be no better time to secure your share of tokens than now.
Litecoin ($LTC) Is Next in Line for ETF Approval in the US
Litecoin ($LTC) struggled to reach its former highs in 2024, but 2025 might be different. The main catalyst for its anticipated growth is new $LTC ETPs in the US and European markets.
For context, Litecoin is Bitcoin’s hard fork, which means it uses Bitcoin as its backbone but implements key changes, such as faster block times and a different hashing algorithm. Some call $LTC the ‘silver’ to ‘digital gold,’ $BTC.
US asset manager Canary Capital recently filed an application for an $LTC ETF. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) fast-tracked it through the first stage of the review process, so it might launch in spring.
$LTC is also part of Virtune’s Crypto Altcoin Index ETP because it meets the strict criteria of the Nasdaq Crypto Index Europe index.
Uniswap ($UNI) Could Make a Comeback Due to Institutional Capital Influx
Uniswap is the world’s largest decentralized exchange (DEX) with an over $2T cumulative trading volume. Its native token, $UNI, is also featured in Virtune’s Crypto Altcoin Index ETP and has a $5.6B market cap.
$UNI is now trading -79.24% below its all-time high of $44.97 recorded in 2021. Yet, institutional capital inflows from products like Virtune’s ETP might revive the token and the entire Uniswap ecosystem.
Bitwise submitted a proposal for a similar index fund to the SEC in November, also including $UNI. If approved, it would significantly increase $UNI adoption in the US.
While Hyperliquid ($HYPE) recently surpassed $UNI by market cap, the platform’s developments and institutional interest might drive it to new heights.
Final Remarks
The launch of altcoin ETPs attracts institutional capital into their respective ecosystems and the crypto industry as a whole.
In the long term, this should drive innovation and increase crypto’s legitimacy in the eyes of the public.
This confidence trickles down to presales like Solaxy and Best Wallet Token, which can attract a wider pool of investors, including those previously hesitant to participate in early-stage projects.
However, remember to DYOR before investing in any cryptocurrency. Even projects with strong fundamentals don’t guarantee returns.
