$json.BodyEdited = `Older cryptocurrencies with existing or anticipated exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are poised to attract significant institutional investments during the upcoming altcoin season, according to Maen Ftouni, CEO of CoinQuant. Speaking at the Global Blockchain Congress 2025 in Dubai, Ftouni explained that institutional capital will focus on well-established “dinosaur” coins rather than newer tokens. He highlighted that much of the 2024 rally in cryptocurrencies like XRP and Cardano is driven by inflows from traditional finance and ETF-related investments.
“This influx from traditional finance is naturally channeling into major coins with ETF potential, driving demand for these older assets,” Ftouni said. This perspective adds to ongoing discussions about the crypto market’s evolving dynamics and the nature of altcoin rallies during the current cycle.

Kruger suggests that a sustained altcoin season, characterized by broad price increases, is unlikely during this cycle. Instead, short bursts of growth will impact select tokens over brief periods.
