Fading Altcoin Trade Volume: Calm Before a Mini Bull Run?

  • Kaiko market research platform released its latest analysis of the future of altcoins.
  • The altcoin trade volumes metric has significantly dropped from its all-time high.
  • Historical data associated such a situation with preceding a mini bull run.

Kaiko, a leading market data offering and research platform, has released its latest Analysis of the future of altcoins. According to the research platform, there is still a long way to go before the altcoin trade volumes metric reaches the level of previous bull runs.

In a recent video, Clara Medalie, director of research at Kaiko, observed a significant drop in altcoin trade volume. From the data displayed, she explained that the current altcoins trade volume is about one-third of the value in Q1, 2023. According to Medalie, the altcoins’ trade volume fell to its lowest level in the past few years before the Ripple ruling caused a slight spike in volume, leading prices to surge for a few altcoins.

Despite the significant drop in altcoins trade volume from the 2021 highs, Medalie observed it is still higher than its value in 2019. However, she expects it to further suppress in the next few months in line with historical trends.

Medalie looked at a new way to study short-term market trends. She used the ratio of Bitcoin trade volume to altcoin trade volume. She observed that this metric has dropped over the past few months. According to her, historical data associated such a situation with preceding a mini bull run.

The research analyst explained this outcome to result from altcoins typically having some of the highest returns in a bull market. It shows a rotation of funds between the altcoin and Bitcoin markets. Kaiko’s recent data shows that, since the beginning of the year, the Bitcoin volume dominance has dropped from 45% to about 27% at the time of the Analysis. The biggest shift happened in the weeks following the court’s ruling on Ripple’s case on July 13, 2023.

Crypto market ‘dramatically underestimates’ bullishness of spot Bitcoin ETFs

Image
“It’s reckless not to aggressively accumulate BTC at current levels,” K33 senior analyst Velte Lund said in a recent report. The potential of a spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) approval to drive prices up is dramatically underestimated by the crypto market , claim analysts from crypto research firm K33 — formerly Arcane Research.  In a Sept. 5 market report, K33 senior analyst Vetle Lunde and vice president Anders Helseth said the last three months had greatly improved the chances of a spot Bitcoin ETF approval despite the sentiment not being reflected in the price of Bitcoin or other mainstay crypto assets. The analysts explained while Bitcoin had all but given up its gains in the wake of Grayscale’s legal victory over the Securities and Exchange Commission — an approval would “attract enormous inflows” and significantly increase buying pressure for Bitcoin. Bitcoin returned its gains in the wake of Grayscale's victory. Source: K33 Research However, the downside of ...

Crypto Bias Blocks People from Seeing Coinbase as Goldman 2.0: Bitwise CEO

In a recent tweet, Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise Asset Management, shared his frustration with the poor attention given to the US-based crypto, Coinbase, claiming that people are “sleeping” on the crypto business. Horsley argued that while big banks like Goldman Sachs attempt to avoid a “slow death” by investing in technology, APIs, and retail services, Coinbase has already achieved what many banks strive to attain. He points out that the exchange has an exceptional institutional team with 25% of the most significant hedge funds as clients, over 50% institutional volume, and a suite of first-class tech products. The Bitwise CEO also claimed that Coinbase co-invented the USDC payment rail, facilitating $2 trillion in transfers in 2022 Q4 alone. Rant — People are sleeping on Coinbase. Big banks like GS are working to avoid slow death by getting into technology, APIs (Apple deal), more retail services (Marcus), while grappling with the heft of legacy biz, rate exposure, ...
