ALTSEASON 2025: IS THE ALTCOIN ERA UNDERWAY?
By FCayla | June 3, 2025
After weeks of low volatility, the crypto market is showing signs of capital rotation. Bitcoin dominance has dropped from 54.1% to 51.7% — a classic signal that capital may be shifting toward altcoins. The ETH/BTC pair has broken out of a cup-and-handle formation, TOTAL2 has surpassed the $740 billion level, and Solana (SOL) has gained 45% in May.
Key Signals:
• Bitcoin Dominance down → Capital rotation in progress
• ETH/BTC breakout → Strength in Layer 1 assets
• TOTAL2 above $740B → Broad altcoin momentum
• SOL ETF proposal → Institutional attention increasing
Macroeconomic Drivers:
• 78% probability of a U.S. rate cut at the next FOMC meeting (CME)
• 37% rise in altcoin search volume (Binance and Coinbase)
• ETF filings for Solana and XRP under SEC review
Risks to Watch:
1. Oversaturation – Over 36 million tokens in circulation may dilute capital
2. Macroeconomic uncertainty – Inflation or recession fears could suppress risk appetite
3. False breakouts – TOTAL2 must hold above $740B with volume
Conclusion:
Solana is emerging as a cycle leader. Technical and macro factors are aligned. ETF approvals and sustained volume could mark the beginning of a full-scale altseason in June 2025.
“Altseasons don’t announce themselves. They erupt — and reward those who are prepared.”
