Cryptocurrency values are anticipated to be propelled by crypto market framework regulations, stablecoins, and a surge of exchange-traded products (ETP) in the fourth quarter, analysts mentioned to Cointelegraph, following a period where assets linked to digital treasuries prevailed in the prior quarter.<\/p>\n

In a publication issued on Thursday, the research division of crypto asset manager Grayscale stated<\/a> that crypto market framework regulations in the US, the CLARITY Act<\/a>, signifies \u201ccomprehensive financial services regulations,\u201d and could act as \u201ca catalyst for enhanced integration with the conventional financial services sector.\u201d<\/p>\n

Simultaneously, the Securities and Exchange Commission\u2019s endorsement of a general listing criterion<\/a> for commodity-based ETPs might also ignite inflows as it expands the \u201cnumber of crypto assets available to US investors.\u201d<\/p>\n

The analysts further mentioned that \u201ccrypto assets are expected to gain from Fed rate reductions,\u201d with the Federal Reserve decreasing rates for the first occasion since last year on September 17, with additional cuts potentially forthcoming.<\/p>\n

Even though JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon expressed skepticism regarding further rate reductions, and remarked on Monday that he believes the Fed<\/a> will struggle to lower the interest rate unless inflation diminishes.<\/p>\n

Stablecoin networks might emerge as champions this quarter<\/h2>\n

In conversation with Cointelegraph, Edward Carroll, head of markets at crypto and blockchain investment company MHC Digital Group, mentioned that he anticipates expansion of stablecoins<\/a> to be a significant factor in returns in Q4.<\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump enacted the GENIUS Act<\/a> in July. This legislation is designed to create clear guidelines for payment stablecoins but awaits final regulations before taking effect.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis should bode well in the medium- to long-term for any chain utilized for stable assets, including Ethereum, SOL, Tron, BNB, and Eth layer 2s, but more importantly for the firms developing and providing the products to the market,\u201d Carroll noted.<\/p>\n

Concurrently, he predicts institutional applications of tokenization<\/a> will begin to gain momentum, as larger entities concentrate on more tokenized money market funds, bank deposits, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).<\/p>\n

Bitcoin and altcoins may experience a prosperous quarter, as well<\/h2>\n

Pav Hundal, lead analyst at the Australian crypto brokerage Swyftx, informed Cointelegraph that increased capital is entering the crypto space through funds and automated contributions, with a Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) surge toward year-end expected to trigger an altcoin boom in Q4.<\/p>\n

A report from financial services firm River published earlier this month indicated<\/a> that ETFs are acquiring, on average, 1,755 Bitcoin daily in 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnless the market is hindered by unforeseen events, Bitcoin is likely to reach new peaks prior to the year\u2019s close, which will subsequently energize altcoins,\u201d Hundal stated.<\/p>\n
