Main to remember
Altcoins have a history of soaking in August before rallying hard, and 2025 cannot be different. And Ethereum winning the field, the dominance of the sliding bitcoin, the Alts-season may not be far away.
August has the reputation of shaking the Altcoin market, which often dives before returning stronger. This year, Altcoins are again declining, so it is natural to wonder if we are on the verge of another major escape.
With daring predictions around the elevation of Ethereum (ETH) and its usual role in the main rallies of Altcoin, we can be on the verge of looking at history.
August pain, September gains?
Altcoins seem to follow a script familiar in August – net corrections followed by explosive feedback.
As Ashcryptto stressed on X, 2023 and 2024 saw the Altcoin stock market capitalizations plunge 28% and 40% respectively, only to reach more than 140% in the months that followed.

In 2025, Altcoins are already down 13% compared to their peak, and another drop from 8 to 10% could be on cards before a potential background.
If the past models hold, this drop could be the configuration of another escape in Alts-season … that which investors will closely monitor.
