SEC Approval Fuels Altcoin Boom: XRP, ADA, SOL, and XLM Join Nasdaq Index

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has paved the way for a potential altcoin surge by approving changes to the Nasdaq Crypto Index Settlement Price (NCIUS). This decision added four major altcoins—XRP, Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), and Stellar Lumens (XLM)—bringing them onto par with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). These additions could significantly impact institutional interest in digital assets.
