Recently, there has been a renewed interest in altcoins within the cryptocurrency market. This report is linked to the increase of the Altcoin Season Index.
Altcoin Index
According to current data, the Altcoin Season Index has reached 53 out of 100, indicating the onset of a period where altcoins may outperform Bitcoin.
Historical Data
The index is calculated by comparing the performance of the top 100 altcoins against Bitcoin over the last 90 days. If more than 75% of these altcoins outperform Bitcoin, the market is defined as 'Altcoin Season'. Historical data includes: 52 (Yesterday), 58 (Last week), 36 (Last month), 87 (Annual peak - December 4, 2024), 12 (Annual bottom - April 26, 2025).
Altcoin Performance
The performance chart for the last 90 days clearly shows the rise of altcoins. Altcoins such as M (2576.38%), OKB (279.51%), and PENGU (180.28%) have demonstrated remarkable gains. Major projects like Ethereum (68.68%), Solana (30.09%), and XRP (22.70%) also showed positive performance, supporting the altcoin rally. In contrast, Bitcoin only gained 3.64% during this period.
The rise of the altcoin index and positive performance of many altcoins may indicate the beginning of a new season, which could significantly impact the future development of the cryptocurrency market.
