What it means

Spot traders who follow altcoins are the main group that would notice this first, because altcoin spot activity is now at its highest level since September 2025. That shift is visible in the market mix tomorrow morning, with more trading showing up in altcoins than in Bitcoin.

In practice, the change is that altcoin spot volume is now described as nearly four times Bitcoin’s, and the Altcoin Season Index is at 62%. What stays the same is that this is still spot trading activity, not a change to the assets themselves.
