The altcoin market is experiencing mixed trends, with XRP, TON, ADA, and CRO shaping the narrative. XRP is gaining attention due to ETF speculation and a potential settlement with the SEC, boosting investor confidence. Meanwhile, TON has led major coins in price growth, despite a sharp drop in user activity.
Cardano (ADA) has struggled, losing nearly half its value in March, while Cronos (CRO) surged 37% following news of a proposed ETF tied to Trump’s Truth Social. Analysts believe that real Web3 utility will be the key driver for TON’s long-term price growth.
Future Predictions and Market Indicators
Market indicators suggest that an altcoin season could be near, with Bitcoin dominance at a key resistance level. The Altcoin Season Index has hit 16, matching past bottoms before previous altcoin surges.
Analysts cite tariff delays and QE as possible catalysts for an upcoming altcoin rally. Some experts believe that institutional momentum behind XRP and CRO could further accelerate the shift toward altcoins.
However, Kaiko Research warns that a traditional altcoin season may no longer be feasible, suggesting that only select altcoins with strong liquidity and real-world use cases will experience significant upside.
