Institutions Bet on Altcoins

31.08.2025

If funds previously limited themselves to Bitcoin and Ethereum, August showed that institutions are revising their strategies. According to reports, large companies are actively buying XRP, BNB, SOL, and even DOGE. Ethereum remains the key asset, as most tokenized bonds and stablecoins run through it. But Ripple is reaching a new level — in August, several central banks began testing payments via XRP. BNB maintains strong liquidity thanks to the Binance ecosystem: the token is needed for fees, IEO participation, and staking. Solana strengthened its position with the launch of the Solana Mobile Seeker smartphone, which comes with a built-in Web3 wallet and NFT marketplace. Interestingly, Dogecoin has also made its way into institutional portfolios. It is being used in micropayment experiments for e-commerce. This confirms that altcoins are no longer just “speculative toys” but are becoming an integral part of large players’ investment strategies.
