Three Altcoins to Watch Closely This Week

Three major altcoins face critical tests this week as the market deals with token unlocks, cooling fee trends, and network upgrades. Arbitrum enters the period under supply pressure. A large token unlock will release about 92.65 million ARB into circulation, worth roughly $7.37 million. Large holders are already reducing their positions ahead of the added supply. At the same time, Robinhood recently integrated Arbitrum technology for its new tokenized stock chain, which could provide long term support for the ecosystem.

Hyperliquid is sending mixed signals to the market. The protocol remains a high earner in the crypto space, booking millions in fees and protocol revenue from strong perpetual futures trading volumes. However, weekly fees have started to cool down. Since trading revenue funds buybacks and token burns to support the price, traders need to watch whether transaction activity can pick back up to sustain the recent bounce.

TRON rounds out the group with the firmest setup heading into the weekend. Node operators must complete the mandatory GreatVoyage v4.8.2 network upgrade by August 16 to improve reliability and Ethereum compatibility. TRON continues to serve as a leading settlement rail for Tether, hosting nearly half of all circulating USDT. Steady fee growth and high daily active accounts keep the outlook positive for TRX while the deadline approaches.
