BTC Dominance Is at 59%. Altseason Isn't Dead, But It May Look Different. Bitcoin dominance hit 59% this week. The CoinMarketCap altseason index is sitting at 50/100. Not in altseason territory, not firmly out of it. A coin flip, which is an accurate description of where market sentiment actually is right now. The "altseason is cancelled" take has been building since spring. Bitcoin-to-altcoin trading pair volumes have collapsed to around 50 in June, roughly half of 2021 levels. Capital isn't rotating out of BTC the way it used to. Part of that is structural: ETFs have created a new class of BTC holder who doesn't cycle into alts. Part of it is narrative: this cycle hasn't produced the same wave of new retail money chasing the next token up. That said, things are moving in pockets. Ondo is up 26% in seven days on tokenized real-world asset momentum. ETH is outpacing BTC right now. Ether.fi and Ethena are holding up in a soft DeFi environment. It's not that nothing is working, it's that nothing is working all at once. Whether a broad altseason is still possible may come down to BTC dominance breaking below 55%. Analysts keep pointing to that as the rotation trigger. We're four percentage points away. Doesn't feel imminent. But this market has closed four-point gaps fast before.
