Bitcoin’s Dominance Is Falling—But Don’t Count on Altcoin Season Yet, Analysts Say

Bitcoin’s market dominance is bleeding out—down 5% this month as traders flirt with altcoins. Yet analysts warn: don’t dust off your ’altseason’ memes just yet.

Why the hesitation? Ethereum’s gas fees still strangle DeFi dreams, while ’institutional-grade’ altcoin ETFs remain as real as a Wall Streeter’s humility. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s whale wallets keep accumulating—smart money knows where the liquidity lives.

For now? The crypto casino keeps spinning. Just remember: when bankers suddenly ’discover’ altcoins, it’s usually time to check your wallet—not your Lamborghini dealership.
