š® AltāSeason Outlook:
1. Regulatory clarity from current legislation could open the floodgates to altcoin ETFs, triggering the much-anticipated alt-season.
2. However, Bitcoin dominance hovers near 55ā60%, and capital may remain locked into BTC & ETH ETFs with proven liquidity.
3. A pivot to altcoins like SOL, XRP, ADA requires SEC green lights, with final decisions expected in coming months Grayscale filings extend into October.
4. With ETF inflows robust, alt-season might lag Bitcoinās rally, but when launched, altcoin ETFs could focus inflows and spark a secondary crypto wave especially if BTC maintains above $120K support.
The crypto market is in āBitcoin modeā driven by ETF inflows and regulatory headway. True alt-season hinges on upcoming altcoin ETF approvals. If Congress aligns and SEC opens doors, expect a sharper rotation into major altcoins later this year.
