Has The Long-awaited Altseason Begun?

Signals are piling up: Bitcoin, the uncontested master of the crypto market, seems ready to loosen its grip. The recent drop in its dominance, which measures the share of BTC in the total value of cryptos, suggests a redistribution of cards. According to some analysts, this phenomenon could herald an “altseason,” the long-awaited period where alternative cryptos take flight. In this context, XRP, led by Ripple, could well find its niche. Decoding.

Bitcoin: a signal for an “altseason”?

The bitcoin wavers, and altcoins are rubbing their hands together. Its dominance, which has fallen to 56.1%, breaks a two-year-old support, a rare event that does not escape the experts. Mikybull Crypto, a closely followed analyst, announces on X:

” The market is officially in altseason.”

In other words, alternative cryptos, from XRP to Ether, could experience an explosive December.

Why this shift? When an investor takes profits on bitcoin, they often reinvest a part of their gains into altcoins. It’s mechanical, but it is taking on interesting proportions today:

• 56.1% current dominance, a marked drop compared to its peaks;
• A notable redistribution of capital towards secondary cryptos;
• A possible explosion in trading volumes for XRP and Ether.

This climate fuels cautious optimism: if bitcoin wavers, the entire ecosystem can breathe.

Crypto investors: the altcoin party begins

Crypto traders have no time to waste. With the fall of BTC’s dominance, the spotlight turns to XRP. Having been in the shadow of Ripple for years and at the heart of legal battles, it seems finally ready to shine. It’s no coincidence that speculations about its price are multiplying as Gary Gensler, head of the SEC, approaches exit.

Trump, XRP, altcoins: agendas collide. A date to remember? January 20, 2025, the day when the American presidency will change hands. This symbolic moment could trigger euphoria in the market for secondary cryptos. The lesson to be learned? It’s better to prepare before the train leaves the station.

Thus, with the announcement of Gary Gensler’s departure, Ripple has already given a taste of potential upheavals: XRP surged by 15% in 24 hours. This suggests a fresh breeze for 2025, where altcoins could finally spread their wings.
