Bitcoin dominance stalls as Glassnode flags altseason
Altcoin cycle signal hits 81.25 as Bitcoin and altcoins extend monthly gains See what rising ETF inflows and weak BTC dominance could mean for the next move
Glassnode’s Altcoin Cycle Signal has issued a new altseason reading after a month of gains across Bitcoin and altcoins. The indicator, which compares the market value of the 250 largest cryptocurrencies with Bitcoin, rose to 81.25 on a 0100 scale, suggesting altcoins have recently outpaced BTC in marketcap growth.
Bitcoin climbed to about $86,000 this week, helping lift the overall crypto market value back above $3 trillion. At the same time, Bitcoin dominance remained near 59.7%, staying below the 60% level that analysts were watching as a possible breakout point.
The article also points to a rebound in crypto ETF demand. On Monday, US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $999 million in net inflows and Ether ETFs saw $270 million, both the highest daily totals since October 2025, according to Farside Investors. The move suggests renewed investor interest across both Bitcoin and broader crypto assets.
