Bitcoin (BTC)<\/strong> reached an all-time high of $118,837<\/strong> today. However, as Bitcoin<\/strong> hit record prices, the asset’s market dominance remarkably retreated from 66% to 64.5%<\/strong> in July, signaling a noticeable divergence. This development has fueled expectations of increased activity and capital rotation<\/strong> into altcoins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This promising development for altcoin investors<\/strong> is supported by the altcoin market capitalization<\/strong> rising by approximately 10%<\/strong> since early July, surpassing $1.2 trillion<\/strong>. Even during the last three-day period when BTC<\/strong> broke new records, BTC dominance<\/strong> continued to decline. These data suggest that altcoins<\/strong> are gaining value more strongly compared to Bitcoin<\/strong>, indicating a potential altcoin season<\/strong> is approaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analysts Emphasize Altcoin Season<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Market experts assert that if the dominance rate<\/strong> continues to fall as Bitcoin’s price<\/strong> begins to move sideways, a strong rally, especially for small and medium-cap altcoins<\/strong>, could be triggered. In this scenario, the 50-day and 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) levels<\/strong> stand out as important indicators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is estimated that major altcoins<\/strong> like Ethereum (ETH)<\/strong>, Solana (SOL)<\/strong>, and memecoins<\/strong> could also record significant gains in this situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increasing Stablecoin Amounts on Exchanges Support Altcoin Demand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

CryptoQuant reported that stablecoin reserves<\/strong> like USDT<\/strong> and USDC<\/strong> remain high, totaling $31 billion<\/strong>. Simultaneously, the decrease in BTC reserves<\/strong> on exchanges indicates that investors are holding their assets in cold wallets<\/strong> for the long term, while their stablecoin holdings<\/strong> are being kept ready for altcoin purchases<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This dual situation reinforces expectations that the altcoin market<\/strong> is on the cusp of a new movement. However, the repeated declarations of an “altcoin season<\/strong>” in recent years that did not materialize cause investors to remain cautious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Hayes: “Altcoin Season Is Nigh”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Arthur Hayes<\/strong>, former CEO of BitMEX, had previously warned of short-term risks in recent weeks, pointing to the U.S. Treasury’s TGA (Treasury General Account) replenishment program<\/strong>, citing its potential to cause liquidity contraction<\/strong>. However, with Bitcoin<\/strong> reaching new peaks, he stated that these concerns have become invalid. In a statement on his X account on July 11, Hayes said that Bitcoin’s record-breaking performance<\/strong> signals a shift in the trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Hayes, Ethereum<\/strong> could take the lead after the current rally. This scenario aligns with the expectation of capital rotation<\/strong> observed in past cycles. Hayes stated that an altcoin season<\/strong> is now imminent, saying, “Get ready, a big alt season is upon us.<\/strong>” He believes that since Bitcoin<\/strong> has surpassed the $110,000 level<\/strong>, the next leg of the cycle could be a strong altcoin-based rally<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Macroeconomic Expectations and Trump’s Policies Also Factors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Another factor triggering Hayes’ bullish expectation is the improvement in macroeconomic conditions<\/strong>. The expectation that U.S. President Donald Trump<\/strong> will implement policies to ease tariffs could improve the global trade outlook<\/strong> and increase interest in risky assets<\/strong>. This, in turn, could revitalize interest in crypto assets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the long-term outlook, Hayes believes Bitcoin<\/strong> could reach $250,000<\/strong> by year-end, and even $1 million<\/strong> by the end of Trump’s current presidential term. Altcoin<\/strong> activity could play a significant role in terms of price momentum<\/strong> during this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Altcoins Are Already Outperforming Bitcoin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Many altcoins<\/strong> in the market have already started to outperform Bitcoin’s performance<\/strong>. Many altcoins<\/strong> like SEI<\/strong>, ENA<\/strong>, ADA<\/strong>, and HBAR<\/strong> have seen rises between 10% and 20%<\/strong> in the last 24 hours. However, the Altcoin Season Index<\/strong> is still at 30 out of 100<\/strong>, and while Bitcoin<\/strong> appears dominant, some analysts suggest that this balance could shift rapidly. Investors are now allocating more capital to altcoins<\/strong> as they diversify their portfolios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amidst this environment, a familiar outburst came from Peter Schiff<\/strong>. The Bitcoin critic<\/strong> argued that investors should buy silver<\/strong> instead of BTC<\/strong>. In a post on July 10, Schiff claimed that Bitcoin<\/strong> had peaked, calling to “Get out of BTC, buy silver<\/strong>.” He asserted that silver<\/strong> had risen 2%<\/strong> to surpass the $37 level<\/strong>, while BTC<\/strong> was in a speculative bubble<\/strong>. However, the crypto community<\/strong> largely disregarded Schiff’s calls and criticized him, recalling his similar past warnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin<\/strong> is currently the largest crypto asset with a market capitalization of $2.35 trillion<\/strong>, while typical altcoin season signals<\/strong> have re-emerged. When institutional investment<\/strong>, a resurgence in retail interest<\/strong>, and positive signals from technical indicators<\/strong> combine, crypto markets<\/strong> may have entered a new bull run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
