The CEO of CryptoQuant, Ki Young Ju, says that the altcoin season is no longer determined by a capital rotation from Bitcoin, but by an increase in trading volume of altcoins for stablecoin pairs.

The cryptocurrency market could be on the verge of the long-awaited altcoin season (altseason), much to the delight of speculative traders, but the determining factors may have changed, according to a prominent market analyst.
