 <p class="paragraph">The Bitcoin spot ETF approval could have sparked an altcoin rally, with other cryptocurrencies outperforming the leader Bitcoin (BTC). With an institutional focus on BTC, the cryptocurrency market opens the door for what might be an altcoins’ weekend.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">In particular, traditional institutions only work on weekdays, and ETFs are not exchanged on weekends. Therefore, self-custody cryptocurrency investors could migrate their focus to assets unrelated to Wall Street action — the altcoins.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Notably, Bitcoin market cap dominance rose from 51% on December 28 to over 55% on January 9 in the expectation of the spot ETF approval. However, it immediately dropped following the news, currently at 52.20%, signaling an ‘altseason.’</p>

 <p class="paragraph">It is worth mentioning that XNO is a $160 million market-cap cryptocurrency and, thus, prone to higher volatility events. Currently, nano trades at $1.21 per coin with over 100% gains since August 2023’s lows of $0.55.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">This recently created layer-1 blockchain is already highly backed by crypto venture capitalists (VCs), including Circle and Coinbase Ventures. Nevertheless, having such a massive amount of tokens in the hands of these whales also exposes new retail investors to higher sell-off risks.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">In conclusion, the altcoins market is full of risks and opportunities. Altcoins are expected to outperform Bitcoin on bull rallies while also bleeding more when it turns bearish. Moreover, cryptocurrencies might trend for multiple reasons, and due diligence is required to understand what motivates each trend.</p>
