Odaily News QCP Capital stated in its weekly market report released on July 21 that multiple altcoin season indicators have exceeded 50, reaching the highest level since December last year. In addition, the open interest of ETH perpetual contracts jumped from US$18 billion to US$28 billion in a week, indicating that the altcoin season may have officially begun.
QCP pointed out that the leaders of this cycle are institutional investors. Benefiting from the clarification of the stablecoin regulatory framework brought about by the implementation of the GENIUS Act, corporate finances have begun to increase their holdings of L1 public chain tokens such as ETH, SOL, XRP and ADA, similar to the role of BTC in Strategy and Metaplanet’s financial configurations.
If ETH obtains SEC approval for its collateralized spot ETF in the next few months, it may attract funds from BTC ETF to ETH, further releasing the potential for returns. In fact, last week, the daily net inflow of ETH spot ETF exceeded BTC for two consecutive days, showing that institutions have a surge in interest in ETH, and BlackRock is also confident in its collateralized ETH ETF.
In addition, call spread trading in the ETH options market was active, and call spread positions expiring in September and December were established in large volumes, highlighting the markets optimism about the fourth quarter.
Currently, BTCs market dominance has dropped from 64% to 60%, while ETHs market share has risen from 9.7% to 11.6%. If the trend continues, a new round of altcoin season may have begun. QCP said it will continue to pay attention to relevant signals and update trends as soon as possible.
