The cryptocurrency market is experiencing one of its strongest altcoin rallies in years, with trading volumes surging and investor sentiment swinging in favor of alternative cryptocurrencies.
Fresh data from 10x Research reveals that altcoins have outperformed Bitcoin for 31 consecutive days—the longest winning streak since records began in 2025 and the most sustained period of altcoin dominance in over a year.
31 Days of Altcoin Dominance
The 10x Research tactical altcoin model, which measures capital rotation between Bitcoin and altcoins, has been signaling a preference for altcoins since early July. This surpasses the previous peaks of 25 days in November 2024 and 19 days in March 2025.
During this run, Bitcoin’s market share has steadily declined, while the total crypto market capitalization has grown, fueling speculation that this could be the start of a more extended altcoin cycle.
Ethereum Leads the Charge
A key driver of this surge is Ethereum’s rally toward price levels last seen in late 2021, which has reignited both retail and institutional interest.
Meanwhile, South Korea has emerged as a major market mover in this rally, with weekend trading volumes surpassing $4 billion—a sharp spike that underscores strong speculative demand in Asia.
With Ethereum’s breakout, rising global liquidity, and heavy participation from Asian markets, analysts suggest that altcoins could maintain momentum well into the final quarter of 2025, especially if Bitcoin consolidates near its current levels.
