Ahead of the SEC’s high-profile roundtable on tokenization featuring BlackRock and other financial heavyweights, five altcoins—ONDO, ETH, ENA, LINK, and XLM—are gaining traction. Ethereum remains a cornerstone for tokenization, with analysts predicting a potential rise to $3,793, while ONDO bridges traditional finance with blockchain. ENA’s synthetic dollar protocol and LINK’s cross-chain interoperability are drawing institutional attention, and XLM’s partnership with Franklin Templeton highlights its role in tokenized funds. With regulatory clarity on the horizon, these altcoins could see significant upside as institutional adoption accelerates.

European ETFs attracted a historic $93 billion in net inflows in Q1 2025, driven by a pivot away from US equities toward European markets, which accounted for nearly 20% of inflows. Gold outperformed with a 19% return, reinforcing its safe-haven appeal amid economic uncertainty. Meanwhile, European crypto ETPs in Switzerland and Germany saw positive inflows, contrasting with US outflows. Analysts suggest this trend reflects broader concerns over concentration risks in US markets and a search for diversification. Invesco’s Gary Buxton notes that European equities’ valuation support and gold’s resilience may continue to shape investor strategies in volatile conditions.
