A crypto strategist argues that Bitcoin investors are unlikely to drive an altcoin surge this cycle, as institutional buyers dominate BTC inflows.
Unlike in past bull markets, where profits often rotated into alts, the current rally is fueled by Bitcoin spot ETFs and MicroStrategy’s aggressive accumulation—entities focused on long-term holdings rather than short-term speculation.
The analyst points out that much of Bitcoin’s capital now comes from platforms like Interactive Brokers and ThinkorSwim, rather than traditional crypto exchanges.
This shift means the liquidity that previously boosted altcoins is now locked in institutional hands. Additionally, with thousands of altcoins competing for investment, there simply isn’t enough capital to drive a broad market-wide surge.
Bitcoin’s dominance remains strong at nearly 60%, showing little sign of capital flowing into altcoins. While an overall altcoin rally seems unlikely, the analyst suggests dogwifhat (WIF) could be nearing a rebound after dropping below $1, citing retracement patterns from previous Binance listings.
As global sanctions continue to isolate Russia from traditional financial networks, the country’s top financial bodies — the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance — are preparing to launch a government-backed cryptocurrency exchange.

In one of the memecoin success stories of the year, a Solana-based trader has turned a $173 investment into over $224,000, thanks to a viral rally in the obscure token TROLL.
