Recent market developments have stirred excitement about an altcoin season, where altcoins outperform <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a>. Key factors include the expected approval of a Spot Ethereum ETF by the U.S. SEC in July, along with new ETF filings for Solana by <a href="https://coingape.com/vaneck-files-solana-etf-us-sec/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">VanEck</a> and 21Shares. Notably, these events are seen as potential catalysts for an altcoin rally, as they signal increasing institutional interest and regulatory progress.
Meanwhile, further fueling the discussions, several market pundits have offered a bullish outlook towards the altseason start. For context, prominent crypto analyst Crypto Rover recently ignited discussions on X by highlighting a chart comparing altcoin and Bitcoin seasons.

Similarly, Captain Faibik shared an optimistic <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/market-capitalization/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">market capitalization</a> chart for altcoins, predicting a surge to $2.3 trillion. He acknowledged the challenges faced by altcoin holders, with altcoins down 40-50% recently.
However, he emphasized that these corrections are necessary for a healthy trend. Faibik highlighted the robust gains in <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/altcoins/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">altcoins</a> from October last year to March 2024, while acknowledging the correction phase witnessed in the last three months.
In addition, the analyst even advised buying altcoins for a dip and holding them for the next four to six months. He concluded his post by saying “Q3 and Q4 are going to be epic for altcoins.”
