ETH, LINK, MKR withdrawals surge: Are smart investors front-running a new altseason?

Recent activity in the cryptocurrency market has witnessed significant outflows of several altcoins from Binance, signaling that investors may be gearing up for a long-term holding strategy. Tokens such as Ethereum (ETH), Chainlink (LINK), and Maker (MKR) have seen consistent withdrawals, which is commonly interpreted as a step towards wealth accumulation by investors, as they move their holdings from exchanges to private wallets. This behavior is occurring even without the presence of a fully-fledged altcoin season and suggests that investors are positioning themselves in anticipation of a potential market shift from Bitcoin (BTC) to altcoins.

The first quarter of 2025 saw Solana (SOL) experiencing considerable on-chain activity with its transaction throughput surging, the number of active addresses climbing, and network engagement reaching new heights.

Hyperliquid pops 9.5% as TVL tops $1.0B —But THIS raises a key question

HYPE, an altcoin, has displayed convincing signs of bullish momentum as it experienced a noticeable 9.5% increase in price over the last 24 hours. Despite this surge, there has been an observed cooling off of spot volumes according to recent data. Spot volumes, which reflect immediate buying and selling interest, can suggest diminishing retail demand when they drop after a price rise. However, this decrease in buying momentum does not necessarily overshadow the ongoing bullish sentiment of HYPE, as other indicators forecast a continuing rally.

Why Bitcoin won’t fall below $100K soon, despite whale dumping

Bitcoin's market dynamics are hinting at a significant change as the behavior of long-term holders (LTHs) shows a marked shift. Analysis of the Bitcoin weekly chart reveals that the cryptocurrency's price action has been fairly range-bound, with moments of liquidity traps creating an environment filled with uncertainty. Traditionally, Bitcoin's LTHs tend to buy when there is fear in the market and sell when greed prevails. However, the current trend deviates from this pattern as these holders are not accumulating during panic, but rather selling as the market shows strength.
