Altcoin Season Officially Begins: Bloomberg Analyst
Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart has suggested that the long-awaited altcoin season is finally underway, driven less by retail speculation and more by corporate treasuries and institutional capital.
In a recent discussion with Milk Road, Seyffart noted that Digital Asset Treasury Companies (DATCOs) have been at the center of this rotation, fueling much of the current momentum.
Treasury Moves Spark Altcoin Rally
Institutional activity has picked up significantly in recent weeks. Tom Lee’s Bitmine added another $167 million worth of Ethereum ETH $4 403 24h volatility: 0.2% Market cap: $531.33 B Vol. 24h: $31.10 B to its balance sheet, its second major purchase in just two days.
Nasdaq-listed BNB Network Company also boosted its Binance Coin BNB $849.3 24h volatility: 0.2% Market cap: $118.22 B Vol. 24h: $838.60 M reserves by $33 million, raising its total holdings to 388,888 BNB (worth roughly $330 million). This makes it the largest corporate BNB holder globally.
These treasury-driven allocations have so far outperformed their rivals, many of which remain well below their past cycle highs.
While Seyffart does not anticipate single-asset altcoin ETFs attracting inflows on the same scale as Bitcoin ETFs, he sees greater potential in multi-asset products that diversify exposure across several cryptocurrencies.
ETF Pipeline Builds Momentum
A growing list of crypto ETF applications is now awaiting SEC approval, covering assets like Dogecoin DOGE $0.22 24h volatility: 0.4% Market cap: $32.72 B Vol. 24h: $1.48 B , Chainlink LINK $22.85 24h volatility: 1.9% Market cap: $15.50 B Vol. 24h: $981.72 M , Stellar XLM $0.36 24h volatility: 1.0% Market cap: $11.51 B Vol. 24h: $174.83 M , Bitcoin Cash BCH $595.1 24h volatility: 1.1% Market cap: $11.86 B Vol. 24h: $360.02 M , Avalanche AVAX $24.86 24h volatility: 0.5% Market cap: $10.50 B Vol. 24h: $503.35 M , Litecoin LTC $113.0 24h volatility: 1.5% Market cap: $8.63 B Vol. 24h: $388.84 M , Shiba Inu SHIB $0.000012 24h volatility: 0.6% Market cap: $7.25 B Vol. 24h: $152.16 M , Polkadot DOT $3.83 24h volatility: 1.3% Market cap: $5.83 B Vol. 24h: $166.95 M , Solana SOL $206.1 24h volatility: 1.1% Market cap: $111.56 B Vol. 24h: $5.75 B , and Hedera HBAR $0.22 24h volatility: 2.2% Market cap: $9.32 B Vol. 24h: $214.62 M .
Will Crypto ETF Flows Trigger the Next Altseason? w/ @Bloomberg Senior Analyst @JSeyff $BTC had its ETF moment.
Now $ETH getting one.
But what happens when $SOL, $XRP, and $DOGE get theirs?

Demand may not rival that of Bitcoin ETFs, but basket-style products are expected to capture meaningful institutional interest with any one of them being the next crypto to explode in 2025.
It is likely that crypto is going through a structural shift where institutional investors increasingly prefer diversified exposure rather than concentrating risk in a single token, which may change altseasons.
Bitcoin Dominance Signals Market Rotation
Another indicator supporting this thesis is Bitcoin BTC $112 242 24h volatility: 1.1% Market cap: $2.24 T Vol. 24h: $42.94 B dominance, which has fallen from 3% to 58%. The decline suggests capital is rotating from Bitcoin into higher-risk altcoins such as Ethereum and Solana.
Historically, dominance falling below 40% has coincided with explosive altcoin rallies, leaving considerable room for expansion if market conditions remain favorable.
Technical Outlook: TOTAL3 Chart
The TOTAL3 chart (crypto market cap excluding BTC and ETH) shows a tightening structure between rising trendline support and horizontal resistance near $1.15 trillion. The market is currently valued at around $1.04 trillion.

A breakout above $1.15 trillion could open the door to $1.35 trillion in the near term, with further upside possible if ETF approvals progress.
On the other hand, the failure to hold trendline support near $1 trillion risks a retest of $930 billion–$950 billion, which could delay the altseason narrative.
