$HYPE and $DOGE Lead This Week’s Crypto Watchlist

The DeFi Investors account shared a busy lineup of crypto catalysts for the coming days. From Hyperliquid staking changes to the first Dogecoin ETF, several projects could see strong attention.

$HYPE – Stablecoins as Quote Assets on Hyperliquid

Hyperliquid traders should watch $HYPE closely. Soon, stablecoins will be able to become spot quote assets on the exchange by staking 200,000 HYPE. This move could expand liquidity and attract more traders to the platform.

$DOGE – First Dogecoin ETF Expected Next Week

Dogecoin could be very popular soon. The first DOGE ETF is expected to go live next week, a milestone that could open the door for new institutional inflows. The meme coin has been holding firm and could see fresh volatility around the listing.

Key Macro Event – Fed Rate Cut on September 17
