{"content":"I got a message the other day—“Been waiting 5 months, still no Alt season. When is it coming?” Let me tell you the harsh truth... Alt season hasn’t shown up in 2025 like many expected—and there are real reasons behind it. Bitcoin is still dominating the market, holding over 57–60% of the total value, which leaves little room for altcoins to grow. Ethereum also hasn’t gained strong momentum yet, especially against $BTC — which historically signals when altcoins will run. Most altcoins follow $ETH – #ETH is stuck. Retail interest is down too. Altcoins usually pump when retail investors flood in with hype and FOMO. But people are still cautious after early 2025 losses. On top of that, macro pressure—like inflation worries and global tension—has hit both BTC and altcoins together, breaking the usual pattern where alts rise after #BTC peaks. There are simply too many altcoins now—over 37 million—and capital is spread too thin. No big narrative (like DeFi or NFTs in the past) is driving mass excitement. Plus, the market is maturing: Bitcoin ETFs and institutional focus are keeping the spotlight on BTC. The wild alt rallies of 2021 may not repeat the same way. Some still believe a late-2025 alt season is possible if we get rate cuts, liquidity, and a dip in BTC dominance. But right now, that shift hasn’t happened. If you're waiting for the alt season, stay patient—and more importantly, stay realistic. {spot}(ETHUSDT) {spot}(BTCUSDT)","images":["https://d2kdcqywr8ua22.cloudfront.net/uploadfile/article/blog/2025052025/05/20/aed3987f8e4d4d0c92eca953d5bba69e.png"],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":["ETH/USDT"],"quotearticleid":0}
