Crypto can be very volatile. At times, this uncertainty can freeze even experienced investors. Investing in altcoins can sometimes feel like gambling. This market is full of noise. So, yes, it can be chaotic and maybe also a bit scary, especially if you’re new to crypto. However, within this chaos, I found 4 altcoins that offer growth potential. What’s even better is that they have less risk than most altcoins in the market.
These four altcoins are quietly positioning themselves to soar before September 17. That’s when the Federal Reserve schedules its next policy meeting. Many expect rate cuts by that date. If so, the market could explode, and with it, these four altcoins. So, make sure to watch until the end to find out which altcoins I found.
Sui Network ($SUI)
With the Sui Network ($SUI), we’re in familiar territory. It’s also one of my favorite projects during this cycle, so far. There’s one thing that makes the Mysten Labs team really stand out. They keep coming up with new features and products. All. The. Time. There’s never a dull moment; they’re always cooking something. And of course, for good measure, the Mysten Labs team is the team behind Sui.
One recent new project that went live is Seal. This enables developers to protect sensitive data within the Sui stack. So, it’s all about private data on-chain in a secure way.
Seal just launched on Sui Mainnet, and builders are already putting it to work.
From token-gated content to confidential AI data, here’s how top teams are using Seal to add programmable privacy and access control to their apps 👇 pic.twitter.com/azNIy56zk8

However, Sui is in a league of its own when it comes to launching new products and features. It has its own full stack, with products like Deepbook, Walrus, Sui Name Service, Slush Wallet, and more. Which other chain keeps on releasing so many new products? I can’t think of any.
And it gets better. During late August, Altcoin Buzz was present during the SuiRL or Sui Real Life event in Bali, Indonesia. Among others, two Sui co-founders gave presentations. For example, Kostas Chalkias showed us a whole new set of products that are about to hit the streets. So, even in the near future, there’s no shortage of new products and features.

So, keep an eye out for,
- Hashi (Bitcoin related)
- SuiSnaps (Secret NFTs)
- Updown (a prediction market)
- CryptoGuard (DeFi security)
- Smash (social network)
- And there’s more in the pipeline.
And remember where you heard it first! With the current $SUI price of $3.51, you have a great entry point.
Cardano ($ADA)
Cardano ($ADA) is like a staple in our news. And for good reason. It ranks just about in the top 10 measured by market cap. It has also been around for a while. Few crypto projects have survived since 2017, let alone do as well as Cardano does.
Part of its legacy comes from its founder, Charles Hoskinson. He was also part of the original Ethereum team. However, he left and launched Cardano. Right now, we are in the middle of the Midnight or Glacier Airdrop. Midnight brings privacy to Cardano. However, there’s also an airdrop for the $NIGHT token.
Besides $ADA holders, you also qualified for this airdrop if you held at least $100 worth of tokens of 7 other chains. This is a massive publicity stunt by Cardano. To claim this airdrop, you need to have an unused Cardano compatible wallet. This brought in quite a few new faces to Cardano. Make sure to claim before October 4th. Check my video about this airdrop.

But back to Hoskinson. Recently, he introduced Leios. This should increase scalability and transaction throughput for Cardano. It should bring a ‘Solana style’ speed to Cardano. At the same time, it preserves Cardano’s core values of security and decentralization.
Hoskinson admitted in a recent interview that he and Cardano lost out to Solana. With Leios, Cardano tries to fix this. Now it’s waiting for how long it will take the Cardano devs to release this update. So, getting $ADA at 87 cents is also a good entry.
Sei Network ($SEI)
With Sei Network ($SEI) we’re in the realm of finances. That’s what Sei Network is all about. And it’s doing pretty well with it. For example, it clears now each day $5.5 billion in stablecoin volume. Compared to the whole stablecoin market, it’s still a drop in the bucket. However, it is a growing upward trend on Sei.
But that’s not all. There’s a lot more happening on Sei than moving stablecoins around. Nansen, the well-respected research platform, has some more stats on Sei.
- $1.53B DEX volume in July (ATH)
- $243M in stablecoins minted in 4 months
- $100M+ native USDC minted in 10 days
- DAAs tripled to 800K
- 1.8M daily transactions
.@SeiNetwork is no longer just “one to watch”. It’s a preferred base layer for stablecoins, RWAs, and real enterprise flows.

Sei also expanded its DeFi footprint. For example, with $fastUSD. This is an institutional-grade asset with backing by BlackRock. Furthermore, Sei is active in gaming. This led to a 40% market share of all transactions on Sei. It sees a serious inflow of gamers on its chain.
There’s also the filing of a Sei staked ETF by Canary Capital. What sets this ETF apart from other ETFs is that it already has staking baked into it. In Europe, you can already get two such Sei ETPs. This shows that Sei provides global institutional access.

Gaming, DeFi, and RWA are the hotspots for Sei Network. The current $SEI price is 31 cents. $SEI is all set to break new ATHs.
Chainlink ($LINK)
Chainlink ($LINK) is the leader in the oracle sector of crypto. In other words, Chainlink is all over the crypto industry. You can find it on almost every crypto project. It’s extremely versatile. You can compare it to a Swiss army knife for crypto.
It can find and show prices for altcoins, use it in RWA, stablecoins, DeFi, payments, and banking markets. It’s at the center of a $100 trillion financial transformation. That’s where Chainlink brings TradFi and DeFi together.

Recently, the $LINK price saw a positive development. That was when the team announced the Chainlink Reserve. This offers long-term growth and sustainability for the Chainlink Network. The CCIP also plays an important part in this. This connects various networks and offers cross-chain opportunities.
The Reserve keeps growing. Chainlink doesn’t have any immediate plans to sell any tokens from the Reserve. The Reserve is transparent, and you can follow how the Reserve grows. Every week, a batch of $LINKs is added to the Reserve.

At the same time, we see how Chainlink’s ecosystem keeps growing. A recent big addition was the US Department of Commerce. This allows Chainlink to bring all 6 of these official government macroeconomic data points on-chain. It’s the only oracle platform that can do this.
- Real GDP — Level
- Real GDP — Percent change (Annual rate)
- PCE Price Index — Level
- PCE Price Index — Percent Change (Annual Rate)
- Real Final Sales to Private Domestic Purchasers — Level
- Real Final Sales to Private Domestic Purchasers — Percent Change (Annual rate)
We’re excited to work with the U.S. Department of Commerce to bring key government economic data onto @arbitrum, @avax, @base, @BotanixLabs, @ethereum, @LineaBuild, @Mantle_Official, @Optimism, @SonicLabs, and @zksync.

The current $LINK price of $23.40 is waiting to soar up again.
