What’s delaying the altcoin season?
Whereas main altcoins and meme cash are recording respectable features, analysts say the altcoin season is but to reach. Commenting on altcoin efficiency throughout this cycle in comparison with Bitcoin’s rip to close $100k, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Younger Ju says issues are totally different.
“Compared to the last cycle, the nature of capital flowing into Bitcoin has shifted. The current Bitcoin rally is primarily driven by demand from institutional investors and spot ETFs. Unlike crypto exchange users, institutional investors and ETF buyers have no intention of rotating their assets from Bitcoin to altcoins. Moreover, as they operate outside of crypto exchanges, asset rotation becomes inherently less feasible,” the analyst posted on X.
The outlook is extra correct for small cap altcoins, which could not entice institutional buyers by way of ETFs or different funding autos.
“Minor altcoins still rely on crypto exchange users to buy them,” Younger Ju opined.
That is what’s delaying the alt season, the CryptoQuant CEO famous. It factors to diminished inflow of contemporary capital from new trade customers.
Younger Ju added:
“If Bitcoin retail FOMO reignites, exchange user activity might increase, potentially setting the stage for an altcoin season. However, Bitcoin’s future growth is expected to come from ETFs, institutions, and maybe govts, rather than retail traders on crypto exchanges.”
