The magnitude of the liquidation waves experienced by altcoins in the cryptocurrency market has begun to surpass that of Bitcoin.
Cryptocurrency analyst Joao Wedson drew attention to the recent developments in the altcoin market.
According to Wedson, by 2025, liquidations in altcoin transactions will surpass Bitcoin, becoming a strong indicator of increasing speculation in the market.
According to the analyst, while the vast majority of Binance liquidations throughout 2024 originated from Bitcoin transactions, altcoin liquidations entered a rapid upward trend starting in the new year. This trend reportedly intensified, particularly since July 2025, with significant increases in both long and short positions in altcoins.
According to Wedson, the chart shows that investors are increasingly turning to altcoin speculation. Binance’s high liquidity and large user base are among the most important indicators to monitor this shift. Wedson said that the increased liquidation of altcoins indicates that market demand and trading volume are outpacing Bitcoin.
Wedson has previously made striking predictions about the altcoin season. He described June and July as the ideal time to break out of the accumulation zone and aggressively buy. He also stated that interest in altcoins will rapidly increase in August and September, that Bitcoin dominance will decline, and that memecoins, gaming, and DeFi projects will come to the fore.
He predicted that altcoins could reach all-time highs in October and November and enter a distribution phase, triggering selling pressure.
