Will an altcoin season materialize in 2025? Here’s the perspective from three widely-used AI chatbots:

The Odds Look Favorable

ChatGPT indicates that an altcoin season is plausible, citing the low score of around 27 on the CoinMarketCap “Altcoin Season Index.” This measure tracks the relative performance of altcoins against Bitcoin (BTC) over the last 90 days, focusing on the top 50 cryptocurrencies by market cap. Historically, rankings above 75 suggest a substantial flow of capital into altcoins.

ChatGPT expresses particular optimism for Ethereum (ETH), suggesting that while smaller crypto assets may not see explosive growth, Ethereum has already reached impressive highs close to $5,000 this year. Yet many in the crypto community anticipate further peaks ahead.

Furthermore, Grok, an AI integrated into the social platform X, shares that the altseason might be on the verge of a significant upswing. The anticipated key driver? A potential decrease in interest rates in the United States. Recently, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell hinted at lowering the benchmark rate, making borrowing less expensive and encouraging investments in high-risk assets, such as cryptocurrencies. According to Polymarket, there is a 96% chance of a 0.25% rate cut by October 29.

Despite this optimism, Grok also cautions that an altcoin season may not begin until late 2025 or early 2026.

A Different Dynamic

Perplexity was also asked for its thoughts, estimating that while an altcoin season is “strongly anticipated,” it may unfold differently compared to previous years.
