$json.BodyEdited = “Older cryptocurrencies that have or are expected to receive exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are poised to absorb much of the institutional capital flowing into altcoins during the next altcoin season, according to Maen Ftouni, CEO of CoinQuant. Speaking at the Global Blockchain Congress 2025 in Dubai, Ftouni emphasized that institutional investors are focusing on well-established “dinosaur” coins like XRP and Cardano, which have shown strong rallies in 2024. He explained that since much of the new capital is coming from traditional finance sources through ETFs, these larger, established cryptocurrencies are likely to be the main beneficiaries of this influx. This perspective contributes to ongoing discussions among market analysts about the evolving dynamics of the crypto market and the shape of the upcoming altcoin season. While there are over 26 million crypto tokens now, experts like economist and trader Alex Kruger caution that the sheer supply exceeds demand, meaning altseason may not be a broad, sustained rally this cycle but rather short bursts of price increases in select tokens. This refined outlook suggests that institutional money will gravitate to familiar, ETF-eligible assets, reinforcing the position of these seasoned cryptocurrencies as the primary destinations for investment during the anticipated altcoin resurgence.”;
