come the 20th of January it's very likely that cryptocurrency as a sector is going to see some big changes that is of course the day that Trump will take office as the president but don't forget there's also going to be a new chair of the SEC since Gary gendler will be stepping down on the very same day and so January is already shaping up to be a pretty interesting month this can also benefit some of the altcoins out there of course for example there's one altcoin that has a whole bunch of ETF approvals that are due after Trump's inauguration and then we have another token that's going to get a binance listing and of course with reasons like these we do expect to see a corresponding pump for these tokens for these reasons and more we're counting down some of the most important altcoins that ought to be on your radar this January [Music] 20125 welcome to the channel my name is Maddie and this is altcoin Buzz all the best of luck if you choose to invest of course I wish you well but I'm not a financial or investment adviser keep that in mind and by extension just remember that this video is not official Financial or investment advice first up at number one here we're looking at salana whose ticker of course is Saul this is of course a major Blue Chip project it's a big boy but it's got a very exciting year ahead uh and especially on the 23rd of January that's when a lot of the excitement gets underway with preliminary Decisions by the SEC because that's when the salon ETF approvals are due the first one up is going to be grayscale and they want their salana trust fund converted into a salana ETF then only two days later on the 25th of January four other big players have their first approval day with the SEC those being van 21 shares Canary and bitwise who applied for salana ETF on the 21st of November 2024 now the SCC formally accepted these applications uh on the same day and now within 45 days the SEC must at least make an initial decision and again that's due on the 25th of January now don't forget there's going to be a new SEC chair in place and so realistically in all likelihood it's going to be too early to expect immediate decisions and approval but that being said it's going to be a good introduction for Paul Atkins who's going to be the new SEC chair and realistically he has three options for this salana ETF he can either approve it or reject it uh but in all likelihood I think that they're going to take more time option three to review the applications this is uh very probable it's certainly the most likely of the three options however it may set the tone for the remainder of the year because we may see more ETF applications uh hopefully eventually we'll also see some approvals but certainly more applications are very likely the only curveball here uh and kind of negative situation that we can Envision hypothetically uh is if Gary gendler decides to reject them as a Parting Gift in that case the app applicants would need to refile their applications I don't think that's going to happen uh but that would be a weird kind of negative uh curveball not that we anticipate it altcoin number two here to keep on your radar this January is Ono Finance ticker Ono o n d o and with this project we have of course one of the leaders in the rwa space that's real world assets and as you probably know Ando is ranked second only behind Mantra however there are a few reasons out there that would suggest Ando Finance is going to experience a pretty healthy price pump this January first of all we have Trump's World Liberty Financial defi platform ticker WLFI Welly get it remember that this platform bought for $250,000 worth of Ando on the 16th of December a few weeks ago and so to clarify uh the new US president bought this token and so far WLFI only bought six different tokens Ando oo is one of them another reason to be optimistic about the price of Ando is that there's a massive token unlock that's coming up for oo this is happening on the 18th of January Ando will unlock no fewer than 1. 94 billion oo tokens and at the current price of Ando . 55 as I record were're looking at an unlock valued at about $3 billion and of course at first you'd expect the price to dump uh after an unlock event that's uh kind of part for the course however that is also a great opportunity to buy the potenti potential Ono dip if and when it happens Let's uh hypothetically say that it will again that's just a buying opportunity in case you already own Ando uh you may want to consider selling your profits maybe on the 16th or the 17th of January uh just something to consider we actually put out a dedicated video on Ando covering the token unlock and everything else really about this project from about two weeks ago if you haven't checked that one out yet I'll include a link to it in the description below this altcoin Buzz spotlight video is sponsored by suie by now you've seen that big postelection pump in Bitcoin all the way to and Beyond $90,000 but you may have also noticed sui sui pumping hard it has quickly become one of the leading altcoins in this market and for good reason sui is just killing it in all the big sectors it supports like defi that's where sui crossed $1 billion doll in tvl and is almost at $1.
5 billion really in record time actually as I record here it's already at 1 . 6 billion sui liquidity aggregator deep book launching its deep that's de token in October there's the sui naming service launching its NS token in November with one of the biggest airdrops in the ecosystem so far and also gaming where the new suip play 0x1 will be the first handheld web 3 gaming device with pre-orders that are through the roof right now and increased access globally with Native usdc and coinbase deposits and withdrawals means you're getting soie and us usdc no matter where you are in a way that's easier than ever sui even has a small but rapidly growing memec coin market for the memec coin lovers out there if you haven't yet used sui then I urge you to come give it a try and also follow sui's X account for all the latest updates check out some links that will include in the description below moving right along here and at number three on our list we're looking at AI 16z ticker ai1 6z which of course mimics a very popular venture capitalist for it's probably obvious which one however it does this as a dow and perhaps most importantly AI 16z is an AI agent a pretty explosive one as well actually because only a week ago we had a video uh looking at four AI agents which is uh very trendy right now ai 16z was one of them however since that video came out uh it's already done a 2. 3x in about 7 days it went from about a dollar to as high as $2 37 it's down slightly now but still commands a market cap of $ 2.
