Today, the Bitcoin (BTC) price once again broke its all-time high, drawing attention to the cryptocurrency world. This development has also caused altcoin projects to come to the fore again. Bitcoin's record-breaking performance also positively affects altcoins. In this context, analyst Ali Martinez shared his positive views on 8 altcoins, including Solana. Martinez pointed to these cryptos that he expects to rise in the next market cycle.
Cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez has increased speculations about the altcoin season by sharing his predictions about the main trends in the market. According to Martinez, altcoins do not necessarily move in the same direction as each other. Bitcoin is in a dominant position due to strong fundamentals and important developments. Among the factors supporting Bitcoin’s rise, the increasing role of the US as a reserve asset, interest in Bitcoin ETFs, BlackRock’s Bitcoin portfolio proposal and MicroStrategy’s inclusion in the Nasdaq 100 index stand out.
Despite Bitcoin’s strength, Martinez noted that Ethereum has historically outperformed Bitcoin every December, and he emphasized the importance of timing and strategy when investing in altcoins. He advised investors to focus on projects that are well-founded and provide real benefits, rather than turning to speculative meme coins that often promise quick returns but lack long-term sustainable value.
Martinez highlighted several altcoins with strong potential in the next market cycle, including Worldcoin, which aims to bring innovation to global finance and identity systems, Uniswap, a decentralized exchange with a proven track record, and AAVE, a leader in the DeFi space.
, the widely used decentralized oracle network Chainlink and the stablecoin Maker, a cornerstone of the DeFi ecosystem, were notable projects. Also, ONDO, which tokenizes real-world assets, Solana, which stands out in terms of speed and scalability, and BNB, with its broad market appeal, were among the other projects that caught Martinez’s attention.
Martinez emphasized that these projects are not just hype-driven, but also have solid use cases and are resilient to market volatility. He encouraged investors to take positions in areas where institutional investors and “smart money” are flowing. Martinez noted that altcoin season may be closer than many think. Altcoin season is defined as a period when altcoins outperform Bitcoin, and usually occurs in the final year of Bitcoin’s four-year cycle, when market enthusiasm shifts from Bitcoin to other cryptocurrencies.
