Crypto markets have been moving higher since early April.
BTC is up 53%, ETH +200%, XRP +76%, BNB +73%, SOL +124%
Can it still go higher? YES. Much higher.
Typically, BTC leads the bull market and is followed by altcoins.
FED just cut interest rates and is likely to do cut more in Oct and Dec, and in early 2026.
In the next few months (end of 2025 and early 2026), market is likely to reach a frenzy phase.
Most altcoins are still well below their ATH, even below this year's highs! (see table below)
altcoins season is just heating up!!
That means that we're looking at another 50-100%+ gains ahead of us just getting back to 52-week highs...and more if we revisit ATHs.

What Will Drive The Market Higher?
1) Lower interest rates. Central Banks around the world are lowering interest rates, which stimulates economies and is positive for valuations of risk assets like stocks and crypto.
The Fed (US Central Bank) just lowered interest rates by 0.25%, first such cut since December 2024. But there's room for more cuts:
FED Rate Cuts Just Starting
2) Deregulation. The new U.S. administration has dramatically changed the toxic regulatory environment for crypto, especially DeFi projects.
We may not see new regulation for a few years but at least the SEC lawsuits have ended. No regulation is much better than the baseless litigations.
Imagine what happens when Coinbase, Binance, Robinhood and others start adding more altcoins to their U.S. exchanges, without fearing litigation from SEC....
3) ETFs and DATs. Dozens of ETFs have been filed with SEC and many will get approved by year-end 2025, including for SOL, LTC, AVAX, XRP, DOGE.
Moreover, large scale DATs (Digital Asset Treasury) companies have launched to acquire BTC and altcoins. We've already seen impact on coins like ETH, SOL, CRO, ENA and WLD.
