As we move into 2025, the crypto community is abuzz with debates over whether another “alt season” will happen. According to renowned crypto analyst Miles Deutscher, the answer is not as simple as a simple yes or no. His view looks at how market conditions are changing and how altcoins are evolving.
Don’t rely on a big Altcoin wave this year
In a recent tweet, analyst Miles Deutscher recently emphasized the need to truly understand what “alt-season” means. While he believes there could be another surge in the altcoin index this year, he cautions against expecting a repeat of 2021’s euphoric, months-long rally.
Deutscher explains that the circumstances during the 2021 alt season were unique. Factors such as quantitative easing (QE), government stimulus measures and a rapid recovery in stock markets were unique. These factors are unlikely to occur again, and relying on the hope of another massive rally could lead to disappointment and bad decisions.
Instead of waiting for a big altcoin season, Deutscher suggests adjusting strategies. He advises traders to expect short-lived rotations into altcoins and to secure profits early, minimizing the risk of being unprepared if the market turns around.
“If a bigger alt season happens, that’s great,” Deutscher said. ‘But don’t rely on it. Be willing to take profits and avoid complacency.”
Binance Altcoin Dominance Reaches 78%
Binance’s altcoin trading volume has increased by 11% since May 2024, reaching 78% of total volume in January 2025. Burakkesmeci, an employee of CryptoQuant, pointed out that this increase is visible a growing interest in altcoins. He believes this trend could lead to a potential bull market in 2025.
As the largest crypto exchange, Binance has seen a shift towards trading altcoin pairs, which now makes up more than 77% of total trading volume.
This surge in altcoin activity is part of a broader trend in the crypto world, with investors exploring opportunities beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
