• US regulators have greenlighted SOL, LTC, and HBAR ETFs.
• Crypto sees institutional demand as mainstream players seek blockchain exposure.
• Official Trump surges after optimistic developments.

Digital assets performed well on Tuesday as Bitcoin reclaimed $117,000.

The broader sector has turned bullish amid optimistic updates and tomorrow’s Fed decision on interest rates.

In a groundbreaking move that has stirred the altcoin space, US regulators have reportedly approved exchange-traded funds linked to Solana, Litecoin, and Hedera.

This marks a crucial moment for the digital assets industry, with diversified ETF offerings beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Enthusiasts can now access Bitwise Solana, Canary HBAR, and Canary Litecoin exchange-traded funds on the New York Stock Exchange.

The decision follows the new policies that allow issuers to evade the lengthy review procedures by the SEC.

The new financial products are experiencing significant investor appetite.

According to ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, the Bitwise SOL staking ETF saw its trading volume hit $10 million within the first 30 minutes.

It has eclipsed Hedera and Litecoin at $4 million and $400k, respectively.

Meanwhile, the approval will boost investor exposure in SOL, LTC, and HBAR through regulated channels.

That eliminates the complexity of navigating wallets and finding legitimate brokers.

The new funds have already debuted on leading United States exchanges as the gap between DeFi and TradFi blurs.

Institutional interest hits the altcoin sector

The latest approvals increase alternatives for investors.

Until recently, institutional players remained restricted to Bitcoin and Ethereum-related financial products.

Now, the landscape has transformed dramatically.

Solana, known for speed and its vibrant DeFi, meme token, and NFT ecosystem, has been among the hottest blockchains in the past few months.

With SOL ETFs live, the project can anticipate remarkable liquidity and market stability.

Such fundamentals can help Solana cement its status as a serious “Ethereum Killer.” SOL is trading at $199 after gaining more than 3% the past week.

The OG Litecoin has remained relevant through the years due to its constant network uptime and strong fundamentals.

An LTC ETF approval confirms that regulators still perceive Litecoin as a time-tested token that can serve conservative investors navigating cryptocurrencies.

LTC is trading at $98, bracing for impressive upside breakouts.

Finally, Hedera’s exchange-traded fund offers an opportunity for individuals exploring the blockchain role in tokenized assets, sustainability, and business solutions.

HBAR gas soared over 10% the previous day to $0.2018.

TRUMP rallies on positive sentiments

Donald Trump’s meme token led the gainers today. TRUMP gained more than 14% the past 24 hours to $7.11.

Trump Media’s deal with Crypto.com to launch Truth Predict is fueling TRUMP’s surges.

NEW: 🇺🇸🎥 President Trump’s Truth Social has partnered with #Crypto.com to launch “Truth Predict.”

Under the agreement, Truth Social will channel event contracts through CDNA, a CFTC-registered exchange and clearinghouse.

The partnership provides the platform with a federally compliant framework to offer prediction markets tied to elections, economic data, commodity prices, sports results, and other real-world events.

Trump Media is promoting the initiative as the first instance of a publicly traded social media company integrating prediction markets directly into its platform.

The new feature will display real-time market pricing, allowing users to respond to live developments.

Social elements will be integrated alongside trading functions, enabling users to discuss positions, share forecasts, and trade simultaneously.

User engagement will be directly linked to trading activity — participants who earn “Truth gems” through interactions can convert them into CRO digital tokens, which can then be used to purchase event contracts.

• The Launchpad has purchased a thriving multi-chain trading terminal.
• The alliance merges Padre’s high-speed execution and Pump.fun’s user-friendly platform.
• PUMP has gained over 11% amid the news.

Cryptocurrencies maintained mild bullishness on Friday as Trump pardoned Changpeng Zhao, and JPMorgan introduced BTC and ETH collateral fueling momentum.

The global crypto market capitalization saw a modest 0.8% hours to $3.73 trillion.

As altcoins displayed mixed performance, Pump.fun’s native coin stole the show with an impressive jump.

PUMP increased from $0.003757 low on its daily chart to a $0.004179 intraday peak – an 11.23% uptick.

The digital coin’s bullish momentum coincides with an optimistic announcement from the Launchpad.

The Solana-based token generator has confirmed buying PadreApp, a flourishing multi-chain trading terminal that supports Ethereum, Solana, Base, and BNB Chain.

Pump.fun’s team expressed excitement about the acquisition, stating:

The Padre team is exceptional builders who have been building in crypto for multiple cycles and have always put users first. With our resources and unique position as the most dominant and innovative Launchpad, Padre will be able to unlock more edge for traders than any competitor.

Notably, the Padre App has gained traction for its high-speed trading performance, innovative analytics, and seamless user experience.

Such perks make the application a reliable tool for active traders, catering to experienced and new players.

Thus, the purchase positions Pump.fun to capture more engagement and trading volume, essential factors in the competitive blockchain industry.

Understanding PadreApp

PadreApp is a new entrant in the institutional-grade trading sector.

It has attracted a loyal community due to its innovativeness.

Pump.fun highlights the application’s competitive fees, cashback system, high-end user experience, support for traders, and advanced core technology.

why Padre?

despite Padre being one of the newest entrants in the pro-trading scene, they're already one of the most popular tools because of

– the best user experience
– most rewarding cashback & competitive fees
– best dedicated support for traders
– strongest core technology

According to the Pump.fun team:

Padre is an industry-leading trading terminal which provides a seamless, high-speed trading experience with next-level analytics for professional traders.

What’s next for PadreApp

Pump.fun declared that Padre will continue running as normal, enabling individuals to buy and sell assets on all leading DEXs and launchpads on Ethereum L1, Base, BNB Chain, and Solana.

Moreover, the application will maintain its ultra-fast shipping.

Meanwhile, users will experience various changes, including enhanced user experience for all coins launched on Pump.fun, magnified trading incentives, and improved speed and data.

Most importantly, the PADRE token will discontinue as it lacks utility on the platform.

The changes aim to advance Padre, making it a powerful tool for retail and professional traders within Pump.fun’s expanding ecosystem.

PUMP soars 11%

Pump.fun’s native token exhibited a bullish bias amidst the acquisition updates.

It is trading at $0.004016 after correcting from intraday highs.

While buyers dominate the short-term outlook, the 13% decline in 24-hour trading volume suggests weakness.

Thus, PUMP might erase the gains, especially as selling pressure overwhelms the broader market.

Technical indicators also suggest short-lived gains for PUMP.

The 1H Moving Average Convergence Divergence demonstrates buyer exhaustion as red histograms surface.

Moreover, the RSI suggests weak momentum.

Nevertheless, extended overall market recoveries will fuel continued PUMP rallies.

• Brevis will develop a trustless rebate system for routers that integrate v4 hooked pools.
• The initiative will verify rebates automatically without centralized supervision.
• The program aims to supercharge Uniswap v4 adoption by rewarding aggregators.

The Uniswap Foundation has awarded blockchain infrastructure company Brevis a significant grant in efforts to fuel the adoption of its recent upgrade, Uniswap 4.

According to today’s official blog, the foundation plans to allocate up to $9 million to launch and manage an innovative Hooks Routing Rebate program.

The new initiative offers gas rebates to routers that have integrated v4’s hooked pool.

Notably, the grant aims to hasten Uniswap’s version 4 adoption.

The announcement indicated:

To accelerate v4 hook adoption and make aggregator integration more rewarding, Uniswap has awarded a grant to Brevis to leverage its ZK Data Coprocessor and zkVM to deliver trustless gas rebates to any routers that route order flow through v4 hooked pools.

🚀 @UniswapFND has awarded Brevis a grant to build a trustless gas rebate program for v4 routers!

Up to $9M in rebates for DEX aggregators integrating v4 hooked pools. All calculations verified by Brevis ZK proofs.

The decentralized trading protocol released its V4 update early this year, introducing advanced features like hooks – which are modules that developers can use to personalize liquidity pools.

Moreover, V4 launched a singleton infrastructure that merges pools under a single contract.

These upgrades introduced friendly fees, on-chain automation, and enhanced experience for decentralized application (dApp) developers.

Furthermore, v4 promised traders reduced slippage, lowered fees, and more efficient trade execution.

The January 31 blog read:

Beyond customizability, Uniswap v4 provides gas savings for both swappers and LPs. Creating new pools with v4 is up to 99.99% cheaper than in previous versions, and swappers can expect gas savings on multi-hop swaps.

Rewarding aggregators after resource-intensive tasks

Besides introducing new advancements, the upgrade brought new challenges for decentralized aggregators like Velora, 1inch, and 0X.

Decentralized aggregators are platforms that find the top trade routes by combining liquidity across different DEXs.

Previous versions had easier integrations.

For instance, Uniswap v2 adopted a constant-product approach, whereas version 3 amplified complexity through concentrated liquidity and fee tiers.

Nonetheless, v3 still ensures a consistent model.

Meanwhile, the much-awaited Uniswap version 4 allowed each pool to function independently based on the hooks it utilizes.

With that, hooks could introduce new execution ideas, apply special trading conditions, and adjust fees.

That offers the flexibility that boosts integration.

However, it made everything demanding and complex, as aggregators should familiarize themselves with how every personalized pool functions before using it to route trades.

That’s where the new rebate program by the Uniswap Foundation comes in.

The initiative allows the interoperable protocol to incentivize routers that integrate hooked pools successfully, offering up to $9 million in gas rebates.

Users will receive the rewards automatically according to their routing activity.

Meanwhile, these rebates can lower trading fees, fund ecosystem developments, and offset gas expenses.

The team said:

These rebates provide routers new economic relief to experiment with v4 hooks. Whether routers use them to offset their own operating costs, pass rebates back to traders as lower fees, or build sustainable treasuries, the result is the same: faster integrations, deeper liquidity, and better swap execution with reduced fees for users.

Uniswap’s native token, UNI, trades at $6.24 after an over 1% increase in the past 24 hours.
