Binance's latest data shows that its dominance in altcoin trading volume has reached 78%, sparking high market expectations for the potential altcoin bull market in 2025. CryptoQuant analyst Burakkesmeci stated that this trend reflects the growing interest of retail investors in altcoins, and the altcoin market may continue to perform strongly in the coming months. However, does this optimism conceal underlying signals of cyclical risks and market changes?
Altcoin trading volume hits new highs: Confidence support for 2025?
Data shows that Binance's dominance in altcoin trading volume has steadily increased from 66.83% to 77.83% over the past five months. This not only indicates an increase in trading activity but also means that investors are gradually shifting their attention from Bitcoin and Ethereum to the higher-risk, higher-reward altcoin space.
Burakkesmeci believes that the growth in trading volume is closely related to the potential bull market in 2025, and the continuous influx of retail funds may become a key driver of the prosperity of the altcoin market. However, it is worth noting that CoinMarketCap's altcoin season index currently stands at only 46 points, indicating that the market is still in a Bitcoin season, and a full explosion of altcoins may still take time.
Is the decline of Bitcoin's dominance signaling the approach of an altcoin season?
Bitcoin's dominance indicator (BTC Dominance) is an important metric for measuring whether altcoins will experience significant growth. As of now, Bitcoin's dominance is at 57.74%. Although it has increased by 2.41% over the past 30 days, this percentage is still low compared to over 70% during historical bull market peaks.
Historical experience shows that a decline in Bitcoin's dominance is often accompanied by the rise of altcoins. This time, the market seems to be gradually shifting towards Ethereum and other high-potential projects. According to crypto trader Mister Crypto's prediction, Ethereum's price could soar from $4,000 to $8,000 in the coming weeks, and its upward momentum may create more significant opportunities for the broader altcoin market.
Changes in market dynamics: What is different about this altcoin cycle?
CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju has a more cautious view of the current altcoin frenzy. He believes that this altcoin market cycle is entirely different from previous ones, as investors are gradually shifting from the traditional model of 'transferring Bitcoin gains into altcoins' to a more selective asset choice. He emphasizes that only altcoin projects with truly strong use cases and narrative capabilities can survive in this cycle.
In other words, the 'survival of the fittest' in the altcoin market is intensifying, and projects that purely rely on speculation may gradually be eliminated by the market.
Retail-driven altcoin bull market: Opportunities and risks coexist
Currently, retail investors are the main force driving the growth of altcoin trading volume, but it remains unclear whether this trend is sustainable. Compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum, altcoins are more volatile and more susceptible to market manipulation. Therefore, for ordinary investors, how to choose projects with genuine long-term potential will become a significant challenge.
In addition, market analyst Hunter Horsley stated that the fundamentals of Bitcoin and Ethereum remain robust; they are still core assets in the cryptocurrency market. The rise of altcoins does not mean that investors can ignore the long-term value of mainstream assets.
Future trend: Starting point of a bull market or a new bubble?
With the continued growth of altcoin trading volume on Binance, market expectations for an altcoin bull market in 2025 are also heating up. However, this does not mean that all altcoins will usher in a golden age. For retail investors, distinguishing between high-quality projects and market bubbles will be key to determining whether they can profit from this bull market.
