#AltcoinRevolution2028
The alt-coin season is a key moment in the bull run when altcoins outperform Bitcoin. Given the lack of spectacular growth during the current bull run, there is much speculation as to when it will occur.
So, what if 2025, against all odds, were to upset this tradition? Some signals suggest that an unprecedented scenario could disrupt the plans of alternative crypto enthusiasts.
BTC’s overwhelming and prolonged dominance delays the altcoin season
Imagine a Bitcoin so dominant that it sucks up almost all the liquidity in the market, leaving altcoins dry. Indeed, this scenario could materialize if, after the famous 34 weeks post-halving, BTC dominance (BTC.D) refuses to go back down, driven by massive institutional adoption or a macroeconomic context that reinforces its status as a safe haven.
Arthur Hayes, former CEO of BitMEX, recently pointed out on X that BTC could reach new highs before temporarily eclipsing altcoins, calling it a “prolonged dominance paradigm.”
As such, whales and institutions would prefer to lock their capital in BTC, rather than play with altcoins perceived as too risky or victims of stricter regulations.
According to analyst CryptoGoos on X, dominance could climb to 62%, a level enough to freeze any significant movement in altcoins and delay or even prevent an altseason.
