A sharp macro divergence is underway just hours before today’s FOMC interest rate decision. Bitcoin held steady near $114,000, up more than 4% this week, while traditional safe-haven gold fell nearly 3%. This pattern suggests a “risk-on” rotation as traders appear to be moving money into cryptocurrencies on the Fed’s lead. This macro shift is behind the movement of major altcoins with strong, independent catalysts.
Why is SUI Network gaining attention today?

SUI is currently trading at $2.49, down more than 4%.

Solana gains access to institutional investors as Bitwise ETF launches
Solana is entering a new era. The Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) officially began trading this week, offering 100% exposure to spot Solana and targeting 7% annual staking rewards with zero management fees. This makes it the first U.S. ETF to offer direct staking exposure to Solana.
Grayscale competes with its own Grayscale Solana Trust (GSOL), which now allows staking through some U.S. brokerage accounts. With both products going public, institutional investors finally have a regulated way to access Solana’s yield without directly handling the tokens.

On-chain data shows an increase in wallets holding 100,000 to 1 million links, reflecting the 2021 bull market accumulation pattern. Trading volumes also reached their highest levels since that cycle.
LINK’s current chart reflects the last cycle before the big breakout. If this pattern repeats, LINK could retest $50 on the next altcoin rally. It is currently trading around $18, with a breakout level expected around $19.90.

Bitwise has also applied for an Aptos ETF. Still, Aptos’ price movement remains muted, consolidating around $3.50 to $3.80 after falling below key support levels.

A rally above $6.70 would confirm a strong bullish reversal, but until then, Aptos may remain range bound as the ecosystem forges new partnerships and RWA integrations.
