As of May 10, 2025, signs of a potential **altcoin season** are emerging. Bitcoin’s dominance is slipping as altcoins like Monero (privacy), Pudgy Penguins (NFTs), and Deepbook Protocol (DeFi) surge, reflecting investor rotation toward higher-risk assets. Bitcoin’s stability near $103k fuels this shift, encouraging speculative capital into altcoins and presales. Key factors to watch include market sentiment, macro trends (rates, regulation), and Bitcoin’s price correlation with alts. Investors should diversify across sectors (DeFi, privacy, NFTs), prioritize projects with strong fundamentals, and hedge with Bitcoin exposure. Risks remain: altseasons can fade quickly if Bitcoin rallies or macro conditions sour. Stay agile—balance optimism with disciplined risk management.
