The Altcoin Season Index, as reported by BlockBeats News on May 25th, currently stands at 21, indicating a continued Bitcoin dominance over the majority of altcoins over the past 90 days.

This development reinforces Bitcoin’s position as the dominant cryptocurrency, with only 21% of the top 100 altcoins outperforming it in recent months.

Bitcoin Surpasses $100,000 Amidst Strong Dominance

Bitcoin’s consistent performance above altcoins is evident as it regains the $100,000 price point. As noted, the Altcoin Season Index at 21 reflects Bitcoin’s outstanding results compared to 79% of top-ranking altcoins, maintaining its key status in the crypto market. Meanwhile, Ethereum showed a modest rise to $3,745 with a 1.8% increase.

Government and institutional responses have been mixed, with BlackRock intensifying its crypto pursuits. Meanwhile, U.S. regulatory actions have become pronounced under current political administrations. President Trump’s executive orders hint at strategic shifts influencing crypto markets indirectly, with compliance guidelines tightening around major exchanges globally.
