Every time Link has a significant weekly surge, there is a major altcoin market that follows, often leading the market by 1-2 weeks, making altcoins the true market cap leaders! This time, Link surged 50% in two weeks.

1. In mid-October 2023, after Link's surge, BRC20 ecosystem and Solana ecosystem saw a plethora of tenfold coins emerging, continuing for nearly two months;

2. In early February 2024, after Link's surge, CEX + DEX meme ecosystem and AI sector had countless tenfold coins, lasting about one month;

3. In early November 2024, after Link's surge, payment-related assets XRP and XLM reached tenfold, and the phenomenon of AI agents began to appear, with hundredfold coins popping up one after another, lasting about one month;

4. In early August 2025, Link surged again, with MYX reaching over 20x in just a few days. In my view, this is just an appetizer, as the spring for some valuable coins/altcoins is coming.

Recently, I've seen many large on-chain players shifting their holdings to Link. On one hand, Ethereum's cost-performance ratio is no longer high, but they still want to compound their gains, with Link being the preferred choice as it can carry large funds and has a versatile narrative. So what about smaller players? They need to play with smaller altcoins and valuable coins to compound their gains. A rotation of funds is unfolding, which may become apparent within a week.
