#AltcoinSeasonLoading

Is the Altcoin Season Loading?

Yes — signs strongly indicate that the altcoin season is either underway or will soon begin in full.

Key Indicators & Analyst Insights

Coinbase Institutional (through CoinDesk & Cointelegraph) estimates the altcoin season could start in September, driven by:

Declining Bitcoin dominance (from ~65% in May to ~59% in August).

Increased liquidity and a deeper order book.

Growing risk appetite among investors for altcoins.

Coinbase's Monthly Outlook also emphasizes an early-stage rotation to altcoins, noting that altcoin market capitalization has risen ~50% since early July and BTC dominance has dropped by ~6 percentage points.

CoinTelegraph highlights that the altcoin season index (CoinMarketCap at 44, Blockchain Center at 53, CryptoRank at 50) is rising but has not yet reached the 75+ threshold that defines a full altcoin season.

BeInCrypto reported varied opinions—some say the altcoin season has already peaked, while others argue this is more of an “Ethereum season” and that a full altcoin cycle could materialize in October/November.
