- Bitwise's Altseason Index hit 90%, with nine of 10 tracked altcoins outperforming bitcoin over the past seven days; 65% beat BTC over the past month, a reading Bitwise said has historically aligned with continued short- to medium-term outperformance by major altcoins.
- Ethereum, Solana, Zcash, and Hyperliquid were among the strongest performers during the rotation, per Bitwise.
- Altcoin exchange-traded products excluding ether attracted about $166 million, their largest weekly inflow of the year.
- Delphi Digital separately reported 82% of altcoins on its sector dashboard ended the month higher, with all 10 sectors posting positive average returns.
Why it matters: When 90% of tracked tokens and all 10 crypto sectors move higher in tandem while bitcoin lags, allocators face a concrete rotation signal rather than scattered strength. The $166 million weekly inflow into non-ether altcoin ETPs — the largest such haul of 2026 — shows dedicated capital is monetizing the shift, not just watching it.
