Altcoin season warming

The Altcoin Season Index nudged to about 48–49 this week — a borderline signal that capital may rotate out of BTC and into alts. ( )

CoinMarketCap builds its Altcoin Season Index from the performance of the top 100 non‑stablecoin tokens versus Bitcoin over the past 90 days and defines "Altcoin Season" as when 75% of those coins outperform BTC. (coinmarketcap.com) CoinMarketCap’s top‑100 performance table shows individual altcoins with outsized 90‑day gains — RIVER listed at roughly +469%, KITE at +145.6% and large names such as ETH at about +27.5% over the same window. (coinmarketcap.com) Bitcoin’s market‑share metric slipped from 59.2% last week to 58.7% in the latest CoinMarketCap dominance snapshot, a 0.5 percentage‑point decline that reflects growing altcoin market share this period. (coinmarketcap.com) CoinShares’ weekly flows report recorded $1.06 billion of inflows for the week ending March 13, with Ethereum‑linked products drawing roughly $315.3 million — the largest single‑asset inflow that week and a sign of institutional interest beyond BTC. (coinalertnews.com) Santiment flagged that four of the highest‑ever daily trading volumes for spot Bitcoin ETFs clustered in late February–mid March (March 2: $31.6B; March 18: $21.4B; March 19: $21.1B), even as flow trackers showed net outflows on some of those high‑volume days. (app.santiment.net) Market analysts noted contemporaneous technical signals — a break lower in BTC dominance and a reversal in the ETH/BTC pair — that have historically coincided with faster rotation of capital into altcoins during prior alt‑runs. (ethnews.com) CoinShares’ data also shows Bitcoin ETP assets under management and selective alt interest coexisting — Bitcoin products still dominate AUM while smaller inflows into assets like Solana were recorded (Solana products posted positive weekly inflows).
