A new survey highlights rising expectations among South Korean crypto investors for an altcoin resurgence in the months ahead.
Jointly conducted by CoinNess and Cratos between April 14 and 18, the poll gathered responses from 2,000 participants, revealing a growing belief that the third quarter of 2025 could mark the return of altcoin momentum.
The data shows that over a third of respondents—36.7%—expect the next altseason to kick off between July and September. Another 22% are eyeing Q4 for a rebound, while around 17% see signs pointing to Q2. A more skeptical segment remains: 13.3% don’t anticipate any major rally until 2026, and 11.3% think the era of altseasons may be over entirely.
When it comes to Bitcoin, optimism appears to be gaining ground. About one-third of those surveyed expect BTC to rise this week, a jump from just under 25% the week prior. Those anticipating a stable trend also climbed sharply, while bearish sentiment dropped from more than half to just over 30%.
Still, broader sentiment remains fractured. Nearly half of respondents described the current market mood as fearful or extremely fearful. Only about a quarter felt optimistic, with the rest taking a wait-and-see approach.
In a separate study, Hana Bank’s think tank found that affluent South Koreans are diving deeper into digital assets. Over 70% of high-net-worth individuals surveyed have invested more than 10 million won (around $7,000 USD) into cryptocurrencies. That figure is more than double the average crypto investment in the general population.
Analysts believe that if digital currencies are officially integrated into South Korea’s financial infrastructure—as legal instruments with settlement utility—they could reshape traditional finance in the country. Regulatory guidelines on institutional crypto investments are expected later this year.
