Deep Tide TechFlow News, March 15 — According to Cointelegraph, Andrei Grachev, managing partner of crypto market maker DWF Labs, analyzed that the “Altseason” driven by the overall rise of the crypto market is becoming a thing of the past. Factors such as a surge in the number of tokens, limited participant scale, and the absorption of liquidity by crypto ETFs are changing the market structure. Currently, institutional funds are more inclined to allocate to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and tokenized real-world assets (RWA), further diverting attention and funds away from altcoins. In the future, the market will see shorter narrative cycles and more intense sector rotations. Many mid- and long-tail tokens will resemble high-risk investments or “casino-style” assets, making it difficult to sustain solely through hype. Data shows that over the past 13 months, the market cap of altcoins has outflowed more than $209 billion, with approximately 38% of altcoins trading near historical lows.
