The Binance contract platform's altcoin volume has surged to 100.7 billion USD, is the alt season starting? Which tokens are worth following?

According to data, the trading volume of alts on the exchange Binance's contract platform surged to $100.7 billion in a single day, setting a record high since February 3, 2025. This data not only signifies a significant rebound in the altcoin market but also reflects that retail money is accelerating its return to the market following Bitcoin's breakthrough of historical highs, igniting a new wave of market enthusiasm.

Altcoin volume surges, market barometer shifts.

The share of alts in the total trading volume of Binance contracts has reached 71%, meaning that nearly three-quarters of trading activity is driven by alts, rather than the traditional market leader - Bitcoin. This phenomenon is not accidental; historically, surges in altcoin trading volume are often closely related to significant price increases of Bitcoin. On July 14, 2025, Bitcoin broke through $120,000, setting a new historical high and boosting the overall sentiment in the crypto market. As the second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, ETH followed closely, with its price rapidly climbing from $3099 to over $3600, currently reported at $3703, still having room to reach its historical high of $4871.

Three types of altcoins worth paying attention to:

Ethereum ecosystem infrastructure tokens:

Stable investment choices in Ethereum ecosystem infrastructure projects have become the top choice for institutions and experienced traders due to their solid technology and high market recognition. As the leader of the decentralized oracle network, Chainlink (LINK) provides critical data support for DeFi and Web3.

Future Outlook

The trading volume of alts soared to 100.7 billion USD, which not only reflects the market's renewed enthusiasm for crypto assets, but also indicates that the crypto market may enter a new growth cycle. However, investors need to remain rational and focus on the following key points:

Keep an eye on Bitcoin trends: As a market barometer, Bitcoin's subsequent performance will directly affect the trading activity of alts.

Beware of high leverage risks: High-leverage contracts provide momentum for altcoin trading, but they can also amplify market volatility, leading to liquidation risks.

In-depth research on project fundamentals: During the altcoin boom, it is crucial to choose projects with long-term value and robust fundamentals.
