📉 Why is the altcoin market stagnating while Bitcoin is rising? An analysis of the summer trend 2025
Although Bitcoin has increased by over 18% since the beginning of June 2025, most altcoins are showing weak dynamics or even retracement. Why is this happening?
Main reasons:
1. Global focus on BTC-ETF — In the USA, active inflows into spot ETFs on BTC continue, strengthening BTC's dominance.
2. Instability of the DeFi sector — after several exploits on L2 networks, investors are becoming more cautious.
3. Rising Fed rates — risky assets are under pressure from macroeconomic factors.
What's next?
Analysts from Binance Research indicate that the “Bitcoin first” trend will remain in the near future, and only L2 projects with real use cases may show growth. Attention should be paid to TON, StarkNet, and EigenLayer as potential favorites.
