Alt-season—a period when altcoins significantly outperform Bitcoin—has begun now. Here’s what the latest insights reveal:

What's the Current Market Telling Us?

Coinbase & Institutional Views

Coinbase indicates that while Bitcoin dominance has dropped from 65% in May to around 59% in August, suggesting early capital rotation into altcoins, the Altcoin Season Index remains in the low 40s, well below the 75-point threshold typically defining a full alt-season. However, market conditions imply a possible shift toward alt-season as September approaches .

Ray Youssef’s Perspective (via BeInCrypto)

Ray Youssef argues that alt-season actually began in April, with Ethereum’s rebound from $1,500 signaling the start. Based on current data—Bitcoin dominance at ~59.3% and many altcoins outperforming BTC over the past 90 days—he suggests that we're already in the middle of alt-season .

Others caution that this may be more of an "Ethereum season", expecting a broader alt-coin rally only once ETH establishes new all-time highs—potentially around October–November 2025 .

Analyst & Market Commentary

Mudrex reports that while signs are pointing toward an alt-season, the current Altcoin Season Index is only mid-range and Bitcoin still controls around 60% of total crypto market cap. This reflects a transitional phase, not yet a full-blown alt-season .

Business Standard similarly notes that capital rotation into altcoins is ramping up, aligning with expected patterns in the typical crypto cycle where altcoins follow Bitcoin's lead .

Bottom Line

We are likely entering alt-season, evidenced by falling Bitcoin dominance and stronger altcoin performance. Yet, most indicators haven't hit the classical thresholds—so it’s more accurately described as a rising momentum phase, not a full-scale alt-season just yet.
