There’s always a possibility that this cycle plays out differently, especially with institutional involvement (ETFs, TradFi, BlackRock, etc.). But let’s break it down:
Could BTC.D Stay High & Prevent Altseason?
🚧 Reasons BTC.D Might Not Drop:
1️⃣ Institutional Control – Big players (ETFs, hedge funds) mostly buy Bitcoin, not altcoins.
2️⃣ Regulatory Crackdowns – SEC and other agencies could suppress retail-driven altcoin pumps.
3️⃣ Market Maturity – Maybe this time, institutions prevent the wild speculation we saw in 2017 & 2021.
4️⃣ Bitcoin Supercycle Theory – Some believe BTC dominance stays high because it becomes a global asset class, reducing riskier alt investments.
Why Altseason is Still Likely:
🔥 Historical Cycles – Every previous bull run saw BTC lead first, then altcoins followed.
💰 Retail Speculation – No matter how much TradFi wants Bitcoin, retail loves high-risk, high-reward plays.
📉 Profit Rotation is Natural – Big BTC holders will take profits and seek 5x-10x+ gains in alts.
📊 BTC.D Has Never Stayed High Forever – Even in 2021, BTC dominance dropped from 70% → 40%.
Conclusion: Will We Get Altseason?
➡️ It may come later than expected if institutions are holding BTC dominance up longer.
➡️ #Altseason could look different—maybe fewer meme pumps, but quality alts (ETH, SOL, AVAX) still go crazy.
➡️ If #BTC D never drops, that would be a first—but history favors altcoin cycles.
So unless this time is truly different, altseason is still likely to happen, but timing & intensity could vary.
Do you think institutions are playing games to delay the cycle, or are they just absorbing BTC supply for now? 🚀
