💸Characteristics of Altcoins That Outperformed BTC in Q2:
✅ Memecoins & Community Tokens:
$SPX (+160%), $WIF (+78%), $PEPE, $PENGU
These tokens are often driven by social momentum, virality, and low liquidity — allowing for outsized moves even in a cautious market.
✅ Underdog L1 & Ecosystem Plays:
$SEI , $KAS, $KCN, $TAO , $CORE
Select Layer 1s and infrastructure tokens gained momentum from network upgrades, incentive programs, or narrative rotation.
🔮 What It Means for Q3
BTC Will Likely Continue to Dominate unless a major catalyst — such as altcoin ETF approvals (e.g. for SOL, XRP, DOGE, etc.) — emerges to shift the market narrative.
Hype-driven microtrends rather than structural altcoin revival: narratives like Payments, BTCLending, and AI/Agents could still deliver strong growth.#Q2Report
