ChatGPT picks two altcoins to buy for ‘Uptober’

With October underway, the cryptocurrency market is bracing for the ‘Uptober’ seasonal phenomenon, a period when cryptocurrencies historically see notable gains.

Notably, October often sparks renewed investor interest and heightened trading activity, creating potential opportunities for savvy market participants.

For this season, Finbold turned to OpenAI’s ChatGPT to identify two altcoins with potential to rally

Solana (SOL)

According to ChatGPT, Solana (SOL) is worth buying, driven by several bullish catalysts, such as the anticipated ETF approval decisions in October 2025, with analysts projecting a 99% probability of approval

Such a milestone could bring significant institutional inflows. At the same time, the ongoing U.S. government shutdown has driven investors toward alternative assets like Solana, contributing to its recent price gains

Beyond these short-term factors, ChatGPT noted that Solana’s expanding role in decentralized applications and growing adoption underscores its long-term investment potential.

Regarding price movement, SOL is showing short-term bullish sentiment, trading at $218 at press time, up 5.5% on the daily chart and over 3% on the weekly chart.

Cardano (ADA) is similarly poised for Uptober gains, according to the AI model. Awaiting ETF approval in October 2025, Cardano could attract substantial institutional interest if expectations hold

Similarly, the budget impasse in Washington is likely to drive investors toward alternative assets

Meanwhile, the AI model highlighted Cardano’s focus on scalability and sustainability as strengthening its long-term growth prospects.

By press time, ADA was trading at $0.84, having rallied almost 6% in the last 24 hours, while on the weekly timeframe, Cardano is modestly up 1.8%.
