Три ключевых фактора, способствующих росту альткоинов в новом сезоне Headline: Three Key Factors Driving Altcoin Growth in the New Season

The altcoin growth phase has officially commenced, as the altseason index has reached its peak since late 2024. Experts have identified key factors behind the coin surge, according to DLNews.

According to Blockchain Center, 75% of the top 50 cryptocurrencies have outperformed Bitcoin in terms of returns over the last 90 days.

A similar trend can be observed in the Altcoin Season Index chart from CoinGlass, which rose to 80 points on September 15.

In the past six months, Bitcoin’s market share has decreased by 6%, bringing it down to 58%. A decline in this metric traditionally indicates the onset of a period marked by significant altcoin growth.

Shane Molidor, founder of Forgd, explained that investors have started to rebalance their portfolios in favor of «alternative» coins following Bitcoin’s dominance at the beginning of the cycle.

The first driver of the altseason is the potential decrease of the key interest rate by the Federal Reserve on September 17. All market participants expect a loosening of monetary policy, which would inject liquidity into the financial system and stimulate demand for high-risk assets.

Kyle Shass, founder of venture firm MV Global, noted that a rate cut of 0.5% instead of the anticipated 0.25% «could trigger a powerful and unexpected rally.»

Molidor stated that as risk appetite grows, L2 tokens and ecosystem coins with high total value locked (TVL), trading volumes, and revenues will become prime candidates for inclusion in corporate reserves. He believes this will significantly increase demand for these assets and propel their growth.

«By issuing debt and purchasing crypto assets, companies create a self-sustaining dynamic that reinforces a bullish price momentum,» emphasized Shawn Dawson, head of research at Derive.

Annabel Huang, founder of Altius, believes that the trend of public companies accumulating cryptocurrencies will continue. However, this will be limited to «quality altcoins with sustainable revenues, proven economies, and healthy user metrics.»

Molidor specified that Ethereum, Solana, and BNB meet these criteria.

Previously, Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart announced the start of a «corporate» altseason, stating that only those coins included in the reserves of large corporations will see growth.

Experts also identified regulatory clarity as the third catalyst. Paul Atkins, head of the SEC, recently stated that most tokens are not securities and called for unified rules for the crypto market.

Currently, the regulator is reviewing over 90 applications for spot ETFs based on various altcoins, including Solana, XRP, and Litecoin. Many believe that the approval of these instruments will be a bullish factor for the underlying cryptocurrencies’ growth.

Analysts at Bitfinex are confident that the altcoin growth period will not commence until new exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are approved.

It is worth noting that Timo Oinonen, a CryptoQuant author and on-chain analyst, pointed out the end of the era of «mass altseasons.»
