Altcoin Season

The post Altcoin Season in September? Coinbase and Pantera Predict Surge appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

The crypto market just lost $107 billion, with Bitcoin dipping to $113,461 and eyeing key support at $112,526. The sell-off was fueled by SEC scrutiny into Alt5 Sigma’s $1.5 billion deal with Trump’s World Liberty Financial, sparking fresh uncertainty. Yet, analysts say this turbulence could set the stage for September’s anticipated altcoin season, as capital rotation often accelerates when Bitcoin stalls near critical levels.

Crypto heavyweights Coinbase and Pantera Capital are pointing to September as the potential start of altcoin season. After months of Bitcoin dominance, market conditions now appear ripe for a broader token rally.

Altcoins Could Soon Reclaim Momentum

As per the latest report, for much of the past year, Bitcoin has carried the market, first through the ETF boom from late 2023 to early 2024, then boosted by Trump’s policy optimism through mid-2024. Altcoins, however, were largely left out. Pantera highlights that in past cycles, altcoins drove the majority of growth: 66% in 2015–2018 and 55% in 2018–2021. In this cycle, their share sits at just 35%, suggesting major upside potential.

Meanwhile, a classic sign of altcoin season is Bitcoin losing dominance, and that’s already happening. Coinbase notes BTC’s market share has dropped from 65% in May to below 58% in August. At the same time, the altcoin market cap has surged 50% to $1.4 trillion. Retail excitement is also visible, with Google searches for “altcoins” spiking to their highest levels since the explosive run of early 2018.

Coinbase further highlighted that a record $7.2 trillion sitting in U.S. money market funds could flow back into crypto once the Fed turns more accommodative, making it a major pool of capital waiting on the sidelines.

Ethereum Remains Institutional Favorite Amid Altcoin Momentum

Giving the altcoin vibes, Ethereum is still the top pick for institutions, with companies holding nearly 3 million ETH, over 2% of its supply. Tokens linked to ETH, like ARB, OP, ENA, and especially LDO, are seeing bigger price swings. LDO has surged 58% this month, helped by the SEC’s view that liquid staking may not count as a securities offering. Real-world asset tokenization and institutional inflows are also boosting demand, while US legislative momentum from the GENIUS and CLARITY bills is adding credibility. These developments could provide the framework for wider adoption, giving Ethereum and other top altcoins stronger tailwinds.

Bitcoin Has Taken Gold’s Role In Today’s World, Eric Trump Says

Eric Trump on Tuesday described Bitcoin as a “modern-day gold,” calling it a liquid store of value that can act as a hedge to real estate and other assets. Related Reading: XRP’s Biggest Rally Yet? Analyst Projects $20+ In October 2025 According to reports, the remark came during a TV appearance on CNBC’s Squawk Box, tied to the launch of American Bitcoin, the mining and treasury firm he helped start. Company Holdings And Strategy Based on public filings and company summaries, American Bitcoin has accumulated 2,443 BTC on its balance sheet. That stash has been valued in the low hundreds of millions of dollars at recent spot prices. The firm mixes large-scale mining with the goal of holding Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, which it says will help it grow both production and asset holdings over time. Eric Trump’s comments were direct. He told viewers that institutions are treating Bitcoin more like a store of value than a fringe idea, and he warned firms that resist blockchain adoption. The tone was strong at times, and the line about Bitcoin being a modern equivalent of gold was used to frame American Bitcoin’s role as both miner and holder.   Eric Trump has said: bitcoin is modern-day gold — unusual_whales (@unusual_whales) September 16, 2025 How The Company Went Public American Bitcoin moved toward a public listing via an all-stock merger with Gryphon Digital Mining earlier this year, a deal that kept most of the original shareholders in control and positioned the new entity for a Nasdaq debut. Reports show that mining partner Hut 8 holds a large ownership stake, leaving the Trump family and other backers with a minority share. The listing brought fresh attention and capital to the firm as it began trading under the ticker ABTC. Market watchers say the firm’s public debut highlights two trends: mining companies are trying to grow by both producing and holding Bitcoin, and political ties are bringing more headlines to crypto firms. Some analysts point out that holding large amounts of Bitcoin on the balance sheet exposes a company to price swings, while supporters argue it aligns incentives between miners and investors. Related Reading: Ethereum Bulls Target $8,500 With Big Money Backing The Move – Details Reaction And Possible Risks Based on coverage of the launch, investors have reacted with both enthusiasm and caution. Supporters praise the prospect of a US-based miner that aims to be transparent and aggressive about building a reserve. Critics point to governance questions, possible conflicts tied to high-profile backers, and the usual risks of a volatile asset being held on corporate balance sheets. Eric Trump’s remark that Bitcoin has taken gold’s role in today’s world reflects both his belief in its value and American Bitcoin’s strategy of mining and holding. Whether that view sticks will depend on how investors and institutions respond in the months ahead. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView
