Altseason Index Reaches 2025 Peak as Crypto Markets Heat Up

• Altseason index hits 2025 peak with Blockchain Centre and CoinGlass showing scores of 78/100.

• Altcoin market cap climbs to $1.63T, nearing the 2021 record high of $1.7T.

Cryptocurrency markets are once again enjoying a sense of optimism as the altcoin season indicators are rising to their highest levels since December 2023. Several tracking systems attest that altcoins are far performing better than Bitcoin over key time periods.

Both the Blockchain Center and CoinGlass altseason indices recorded a score of 78 out of 100 this week. The similar measure by CoinMarketCap was 67, the highest values recorded in all three platforms in 2024.

These indices are used to compare the performance of altcoins to that of Bitcoin over 90-day rolling periods, with a score of above 75 signifying true altseason. Particularly, the Blockchain Center needs three-quarters of the top 50 cryptocurrencies to beat Bitcoin to be classified as altseason.

Market Momentum Builds as Traders Eye Major Breakout

The overall market capitalization of the altcoins has begun to climb to the 2021 record, reaching a figure of $1.63 trillion without Bitcoin and stablecoins. This amount is close to the past high of $1.64 trillion in November 2024 and the all-time high of $1.7 trillion in 2021.

The professional traders are gaining more confidence in the emerging market conditions. Crypto analyst Daan Crypto Trades observed that altcoins that enter price discovery mode may cause wider market enthusiasm and bring new actors.

Educational content producer Karan Singh Arora pointed out that the nine-month high in altseason metrics encourages traders to take on more aggressive risk-taking approaches. In the meantime, trader Ash Crypto forecasted that altcoins are about to begin parabolic moves in what he called phase 3 of altseason.

These bullish projections are backed by recent data on 24-hour performance. Dogecoin rose more than 5% to $0.25, and Avalanche increased by almost 11% to the highest point since early 2025. The other prominent performers were Hyperliquid, Stellar, Litecoin, and Toncoin that rose by over 3%.

The overlap of technical signals, market capitalization expansion, and favorable trader sentiment indicates that cryptocurrency markets might be in a substantial altcoin-led surge period. Historical trends show that such periods have the potential to produce high returns on other digital assets.
