The cryptocurrency market has reached a new milestone, increasing by 2% in the last 24 hours, bringing the total market value to $3.64 trillion. This record, recorded in the Asian session on Monday, once again shows that investors are increasingly interested in altcoins. Although Bitcoin (BTC) could not reach the $100,000 target in November, demand for popular altcoins such as Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Hedera (HBAR), Dogecoin (DOGE) and Solana (SOL) is increasing rapidly.
According to CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju, altcoin season is not dependent on capital being transferred from Bitcoin to altcoins. Ju attributes this to transactions now being made across stablecoins and fiat pairs. This trend points to an altcoin expansion supported not only by asset rotation but also by real market growth.

The recent growth of Ripple’s XRP has also given momentum to older, more established altcoins like Litecoin. Consolidated in an expanding triangle formation for the past six years, Litecoin has similar bullish potential to XRP. LTC has gained more than 18% in the past 24 hours, testing a key resistance level at $120.
