After Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) gained approval, top analyst Michaël van de Poppe shared insights on five altcoins in a post on COINTURK News. His comments increased interest in the Ethereum ecosystem and created expectations for an altcoin surge. So, which altcoins are on van de Poppe's list, and why?

“I think a coin like Optimism could see a 300% to 800% increase in BTC value within the next six months. I believe this is very likely and probably the first round.” 

Optimism tops van de Poppe’s list. It's an Ethereum Layer-2 scaling solution. He highlights its notable total value locked (TVL) ratio and low circulating supply. Van de Poppe believes Optimism could see a 300% to 800% increase in BTC value within six months.

“If you look at Arbitrum’s TVL, you’ll see it’s almost the same amount as its market cap. So, as the ecosystem grows, this is a super bullish sign. However, when we look at the price action, we see that it’s trash.” 

Arbitrum, another Layer-2 solution, is next on the list. Despite struggling with its price since February, its strong ecosystem development and TVL make it a solid investment. Van de Poppe sees significant recovery potential for ARB.

“When Ethereum starts doing well and volumes are already waking up, WOO comes into play. Also, revenue is generated, so I think it’s a great thing to have. I think when the entire cycle starts for WOO, it could actually provide returns between 500% and 1,500%.” 

Woo Network\, a decentralized exchange with high liquidity and low transaction fees, is a surprise addition. Van de Poppe expects WOO to benefit as Ethereum gains traction. He predicts WOO could provide returns between 500% and 1,500%.

“I want to bet on secure Solana (SOL) solutions. The only tricky part about Wormhole is that the locks are still open, but it will take some time for these locks to be released, so I think it will do really well.” 

Wormhole, a bridge for cross-chain interoperability, ranks fourth. Its role in the growing DeFi environment is crucial. Despite some concerns about lock releases, van de Poppe is optimistic about Wormhole's future performance.

“Like it or not, you see all meme coins doing well. Floki, Book of Meme, Bonk. All these meme coins are doing well. When you want to position yourself in Dogecoin, now is the time. It’s the easiest. It will do 4x to 5x or maybe even more.”

Lastly, van de Poppe chose Dogecoin, the leader in the memecoin market. He points to its price volatility and strong community support. Van de Poppe believes DOGE could provide significant gains during a market uptrend, predicting it could do 4x to 5x or even more.

Each altcoin has unique factors contributing to its potential success, making it worth watching in the coming months.
