Members of the cryptocurrency community have heavily debated the existence of an “altcoin season,” with different crypto personalities asserting contrasting views.
While some market participants remain convinced that altcoin season — a period when Bitcoin is outpaced by the majority of alternative coins in the crypto market — is underway, others remain unfazed, certain that altcoins will continue to bleed.
Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson is part of the former group, whose sentiments about the altcoin market are more bullish than bearish.
In a recent “ask me anything” live session on YouTube, the Cardano boss responded to a viewer who quizzed him on the state of the altcoin market, particularly curious to know if altcoin season was “cancelled for 2025.”
Maintaining optimism for the months ahead, Hoskinson remarked that July and the months preceding it could see altcoins record a notable price run.”The second half of 2025 is going to be great for altcoins,” Hoskinson asserted.

Interestingly, Bitcoin appears to be recovering quickly after failing to sustain momentum above the $110,000 price mark. The new development indicates a build-up of buying pressure likely triggered by renewed interest from market players.
While this could validate the sentiment that the leading cryptocurrency will continue to outperform altcoins, alternative coins could also very possibly secure larger gains in the long term.
Despite sustaining mild intra-day losses, three altcoins have outpaced Bitcoin over the last 7 days. Ether, SOL, and DOGE are leading what looks like an altcoin comeback.
While Bitcoin, currently trading at $105,516 at press time, has only managed to sustain 3.87% in gains over the last 7-days, ETH, SOL and DOGE are up 7.94%, 6.10%, and 5.65% respectively.
