The Impact of Geopolitical Tensions on Altcoins

[Rancho]

It’s interesting to see how Ethereum has held its ground in the face of rising global tensions. While Bitcoin experienced a massive dip to $103,414 recently, ETH has shown a unique kind of stability. With its robust ecosystem of decentralized finance (DeFi), smart contracts, and growing adoption by developers, Ethereum has become a cornerstone in the crypto space, proving it’s not just a store of value but a platform with real utility.

In a recent chat with #BingXAI, I asked about the timing for the next altcoin season. The next meaningful alt season could begin within 2-3 months if geopolitical tensions ease and Bitcoin finds stability. Historical trends suggest that Q3-Q4 2025 could be the sweet spot for significant altcoin outperformance, as capital rotates from Bitcoin and crypto-stocks into the broader altcoin market.

Then there’s $SHIB, which has been consistently climbing, often unrelated to global events. Despite the noise around geopolitical instability, SHIB continues to perform well due to its meme culture and ever-growing fan base. It’s a reminder that while Bitcoin and Ethereum dominate, the power of memecoins and the crypto community should not be underestimated.

 

So, do you think altcoins could offer a safe haven in uncertain times, or are they just another speculative bet?
