The Real Altcoin Season Is Coming In 2025
Bitcoin crossing the $100,000 mark last week was undeniably a historic milestone. Yet, as the leading cryptocurrency celebrated its achievement, many altcoins were already outperforming it, signaling the onset of an altcoin season.
The altcoin rally observed since November appears to be a prelude to a bigger altcoin season in 2025. New crypto trends and technologies will likely catch the eye of institutional investors and VCs.
Key Altcoin Narratives For 2025
So far in 2024, the three best-performing altcoins from the top-50 list have been memecoins: dogwifhat (WIF +2,027%), PEPE (+1,764%), and Dogecoin (DOGE +382%). However, while memecoins are often emblematic of altcoin seasons, they are unlikely to define the overarching crypto narratives of 2025.
In 2025, new narratives are likely to emerge, and the VC activity could indicate the most promising ones. According to Pitchbook, crypto VCs were quite moderate in 2023 ($10 billion) and 2024 ($7.1 billion in Q3). Next year, their activity could rebound to at least the levels seen in 2021 and 2022, totaling $25.3 billion and $29.4 billion, respectively. This increase will funnel into specific projects and broader categories that could define the next wave of growth.
