Coinbase Derivatives, the futures division of the Coinbase exchange, will launch a new set of futures for major altcoins starting December 5, 2025. This will become one of the largest expansions of regulated cryptocurrency derivatives in the United States.
The Binance crypto exchange is transforming into a platform focused on altcoin trading, which now accounts for up to 60% of all transactions. Meanwhile, activity related to Bitcoin and Ethereum is declining due to ongoing selling pressure combined with low trading volumes.
We explain which cryptocurrencies from the top 100 grew the most during the week ending November 15 and what events accompanied their rise. The seven-day period up to November 15 saw overall negative market dynamics
Statistical data show that over the past three years, major altcoins have been consistently underperforming Bitcoin in terms of growth and profitability.
The long-awaited altcoin season appears unlikely, as market data indicate a clear shift of capital back into Bitcoin. According to CoinMarketCap, BTC’s market dominance has risen to 59.1%, while the leading cryptocurrency is recovering from a weekly low of $104,000.
According to blockchain analyst Maartunn, the altcoin market is once again in the spotlight: the share of altcoin trading volume on Binance has reached an all-time high of 82.3%.
Bitcoin’s market dominance has dropped to around 57%, while CoinMarketCap’s altcoin season index surged from 36 to 60 (out of 100) within a month. This signals that investors are shifting away from the flagship cryptocurrency into other digital assets.
Data from TradingView indicates that since the end of July, Bitcoin’s market dominance has significantly decreased. The figure fell from its peak of 66.03% on June 25 to 58.57% as of August 26.
Major cryptocurrencies declined, pushing the total crypto market capitalization below $4 trillion, Bloomberg reports.
The Grok neural network, created by Elon Musk’s company xAI, has named Bitcoin the best crypto asset for investment over the next ten years. The query to the chatbot was formulated by CMCC Crest venture fund co-founder Willy Woo.
Bitcoin fell below $118,000 on Thursday amid profit-taking and large-scale fund movements. Traders remain cautious ahead of the White House’s upcoming cryptocurrency policy report, expected later this month, and assess emerging regulatory frameworks.
According to an expert, a true altcoin season is unlikely in the near future: the market is oversaturated, and the number of tokens has surpassed 43 million. The excessive number of projects leads to the dilution of investment fund capital, hindering overall growth.
Last week, the trading volume of altcoin futures on the Binance Futures platform reached a record high.
Bitcoin fell on Tuesday, leading a broader decline in cryptocurrency prices as the sector saw profit-taking after a stellar rally over the past two weeks.
According to Coinmarketcap, altcoin season has begun, with 75% of the top 100 tokens outperforming Bitcoin in growth dynamics over the past three months.
The altcoin season may start soon, given the combination of several factors signaling a potential increase in liquidity. A possible outflow of capital from Bitcoin and a massive inflow into stablecoins could set the stage for a rally in the altcoin market.
