Bitcoin just hit a new all-time high. However, that’s not the end of the story. Every major BTC rally is just ‘act one’. What comes next catches most people off-guard: the altcoin explosion. So, behind the scenes, something way more interesting is starting to form. Every cycle, right after Bitcoin peaks, liquidity shifts.
Traders move profits, momentum spreads, and suddenly altcoins begin to fly. But which ones? In this video, I’m going to connect the dots. I will show you how the market quietly shifts to altcoins right after Bitcoin’s peak. And I also show which signs usually appear just before the altcoin phase ignites.
Cardano ($ADA)
Cardano ($ADA) is my first pick in today’s list of altcoins. There are several factors why it may pump after this new $BTC ATH.
Institutional Interest and ETFs
There’s a heightened institutional interest in Cardano. That’s because of potential Cardano ETF approvals. However, we have an unfortunate situation of a US Government shutdown at our hands. This means that these approvals can face a delay. As a result, the chance of an approval in 2025 on Polymarket dropped from 95% to 93%.
Two ETF approvals are planned for October 2025.
▪️October 7: Grayscale’s proposal to convert its Cardano Trust into a spot ETF.
▪️October 26: Tuttle Capital’s Cardano ETF application.

Ecosystem Expansion and Upgrades
We recently saw the implementation of the Plomin Hard Fork. This brought full decentralized governance to Cardano. In the US, eToro brought $ADA staking to its customers. Furthermore, the Midnight Layer 2 chain will bring privacy to Cardano. This will also improve security.

Whale Accumulation
During last week, $ADA whales hunted down another 70 million $ADA. Such an accumulation suggests that high-net-worth investors expect favorable market movement. It positions $ADA for potential growth. The current $ADA price is 84 cents. If $ADA breaks above 95 cents, it could see an upwards move to $1.95.

Sui Network ($SUI)
With the Sui Network ($SUI), we’re always in for some interesting updates. So, let’s check what recently happened with Sui.
SUI’s TVL
According to data from DeFiLlama, Sui’s TVL went up to $2.55 billion. This is a new ATH, and it seems that it may keep rising. Currently, BTCFi is around 30% of Sui’s TVL.

Ethena Partnership, Launch of Two Native Sui Stablecoins
The Nasdaq-listed crypto treasury stock SUI Group (SUIG) is launching two stablecoins. These are $suiUSDe and $USDi. This is a partnership between Ethena and the Sui Foundation. Thus, it becomes the first digital asset vehicle firm to do so. This is massive news for Sui. It will strengthen Sui’s DeFi ecosystem. This will also power Sui payments.
Introducing suiUSDe and USDi: two native dollar assets for the $30b+ @SuiNetwork built on our Stablecoin-as-a-Service stack.
These products will power DeFi and payments on Sui, while embedding Ethena directly within one of the fastest growing networks on earth.

Suiball
During Sui’s recent SuiFest at Token 2049, Suiball launched. This is a hardware wallet that accommodates all Sui tokens AND Bitcoin. It supports BTCFi dApps on Sui. Suiball is a unique hardware wallet for various reasons. It has a round design, so you can use it as a watch. This also makes it small, and it comes with a touch screen. It also supports Clear Signing, so there are no blind transactions. The pre-order of 2565 units sold out in only 2 days. This had a 35% discount.

So, plenty of news on Sui, as always. The current $SUI price is $3.62. That’s 10% up over the last week.
Solana ($SOL)
Solana ($SOL) is one of the hotter altcoins for this bull run. It has a big ecosystem and there’s always something cooking. So, let’s take a look.
Stablecoin Growth on Solana
One thing I noticed on Solana is its stablecoin growth. Its total stablecoin supply has been up by 659% since January 2023. Year-on-year, it’s up by 216%. That’s the fastest growth of any chain. The biggest growth in market share was for $USDT. It went from $6 billion in the beginning of the year to around $15 billion right now.

Large Investments and Treasury Commitment
VisionSys AI, plans to invest $2 billion of treasury funds into Solana. This is a China-based AI company. It’s one of the biggest $SOL digital asset treasury companies. In total, specialized treasury firms hold $4+ billion in $SOL tokens. This shows strong backing from large holders.

— S🟠L PRINCESS 👑 (@SolanaPrincess) October 2, 2025
The current $SOL price is $233. That’s 15% up over the last 30 days. If $SOL can get a weekly close above $260, it may go to $520. That’s a good 2x from here.
Chainlink ($LINK)
With Chainlink ($LINK) I’m talking about one of my fave altcoins. Chainlink saw some massive news this week. So, let’s dive in.
Swift Partners with Chainlink
The biggest news has to be about Swift. It picked Chainlink as its partner for blockchain and digital asset integration. Ripple has been ‘confirming’ this news for years. So, that must be a bitter pill for them to swallow. However, it’s outstanding news for Chainlink. You can find Chainlink in every aspect or part of the crypto sector. Check the picture below. No wonder that it’s also referred to as the Swiss Army knife of crypto.

Swift Hackathon
Chainlink also won the Swift Hackathon 2025 Business Challenge. There were 104 entries, and Chainlink walked away as the winner. Other finalists were giants like Credit Agricole CIB, Deutsche Bank, and Standard Chartered. This demonstrates its innovation and leadership in an important sector. It provides scalable, privacy-preserving digital asset settlement solutions across borders and blockchains. This win also further cemented its partnership with Swift.
We’re excited to announce that Chainlink has been selected as the winner of the Swift (@swiftcommunity) Hackathon 2025 Business Challenge.https://t.co/3q7eUBKlIv

The current $LINK price is $22.13. A lot of the average crypto investors miss out on $LINK because of its B2B proposition. However, breaking $23 could see a move upwards towards $27. A next step could be $47.
Sei Network ($SEI)
Sei Network ($SEI) is the last of today’s altcoins I will cover. Once more, there’s plenty of action going on at Sei. So, let’s see what the biggest news was in September.
- Apollo ($840B AUM) deployed its Diversified Credit Fund with Securitize.
