Altcoins' Potential Growth: Following Donald Trump's return to office, industry participants suggest that smaller cryptocurrencies, or altcoins, may experience more significant gains compared to Bitcoin. The expectation of a more favorable regulatory environment could benefit these altcoins, which currently lack the regulatory certainty that Bitcoin enjoys. Analysts anticipate that if Bitcoin’s dominance falls below 57.3%, an altcoin season could be underway. #WyomingBTCReserves #TRUMPOnBinanceFutures #TRUMPCoinMarketCap #CryptoTrump2.0 #TrumpCountDown
