Why Altcoins Might Run Ahead of Bitcoin in Q3 2025

With Bitcoin stuck between $68,000 and $72,000, an under-the-radar rotation is brewing-I keep seeing altcoins break out of their corners, and honestly, it feels like a 2019 déjà vu. Now that BTC dominance has leveled off and Ethereum gas costs are easing, the chart clues hint we could enter a full-alt season by July.

Heres the rationale the pros are weighing:

- BTC Dominance Slide-Bitcoins share has lingered under 53 percent since early June, a classic tell that fresh money is drifting toward smaller caps.

- DeFi Comeback-Protocols like AAVE, LDO, and UNI reported 20 to 40 percent jumps in total value locked over the last three weeks.

- Layer-2 Surge-Both zkSync and StarkNet are chalking up over 35 percent weekly growth in unique wallets, breathing life into the scaling narrative.

- Historical Edge-Data shows alts typically outpace BTC in early Q3. In 2019 and 2021 ETH along with top DeFi tokens ran up 30 to 50 percent while Bitcoin lagged.

If these trends persist, Q3 2025 could well mark the third time in five years that altcoins steal Bitcoins thunder.

⚡ Pro tip: Instead of copying every hot trade, think ahead and set your position wisely. I've recently queued some low-cap Layer 2 networks on my personal watchlist, focusing on projects backed by DePIN use cases and an engaged community.
