Analysts expect the crypto market to be driven by legislation, ETP approvals, and stablecoin growth in the fourth quarter after digital treasuries dominated last quarter.
Favorable policy shifts, growing ETP access, and stablecoin momentum could be the key themes for the crypto market coming into Q4, analysts told Cointelegraph.Crypto prices will likely be spurred by crypto market structure legislation, stablecoins and a flood of exchange-traded products in the fourth quarter, analysts told Cointelegraph, after assets tied to digital treasuries dominated over the last quarter.
The researchers also said “crypto assets should be expected to benefit from Fed rate cuts,” with the Federal Reserve slashing rates for the first time since last year on Sept. 17, with more possibly on the way.Speaking to Cointelegraph, Edward Carroll, head of markets at crypto and blockchain investment firm MHC Digital Group, said he expectsinto law in July. It’s aimed at establishing clear rules for payment stablecoins, but is still awaiting final regulations before implementation. “This should be positive medium- to long-term for any chain being used for stables, Ethereum, SOL, Tron, BNB, Eth layer 2s, but more fundamentally to the companies building and providing the products to market,” Carroll said. At the same time, he predicts institutional applications of tokenization will start to gain traction, as larger players start to pursue more tokenized money market funds, bank deposits, and exchange-traded funds .Pav Hundal, lead analyst at Australian crypto broker Swyftx, told Cointelegraph that more money is flowing into crypto through funds and automated contributions, and a Bitcoin (“Unless the market is kneecapped by something unexpected, Bitcoin will likely hit new highs before the end of the year, and that will fuel altcoins,” Hundal said. “It’s been a rotational market for all of 2025, with alt coins performing well after an initial Bitcoin rally. I don’t see any reason for that pattern to change now. The top performers during rotations have been memecoins and DeFi applications like Pump.fun, Hyperliquid and Aster.”Henrik Andersson, chief investment officer of Apollo Crypto, told Cointelegraph he expects Q4 to include ETF approvals in the US, including for staked assets, and the CLARITY Act to pass. “On a sector basis, we believe revenue-generating projects in DeFi will continue to perform very well. Stablecoins and RWA will very likely continue to be major themes overall.” However, he also said “rate cut expectations in the US might disappoint as the economy and labor market seemingly are doing better than the Fed feared when it lowered rates.” While last quarter, Andersson said Hyperliquid and Pump buybacks made big waves in crypto markets, along with the “proliferation of digital asset treasuries.”
