Altcoins Could Ignite ‘Major Pump’ if These Two Things Happen, According to Analyst Kevin Svenson

Image
A crypto analyst with a history of timely Bitcoin (BTC) calls believes that altcoins are gearing up for a price spike. In a new strategy session, Kevin Svenson tells his 83,300 YouTube subscribers that he’s keeping a close watch on the OTHERS chart, which tracks the total market cap of crypto, excluding the top 10 digital assets and stablecoins. Traders keep an eye on the OTHERS chart to gauge the performance of the altcoin market. According to the crypto strategist, OTHERS appears to be following its 2024 price action, when it went through a corrective period before sparking a parabolic surge toward the end of the year. Svenson predicts that altcoins will stage another explosive rally if Bitcoin and another asset class soar to new record highs. “I’m just showing what’s showing up on the chart. The setup is nearly the same. And this huge run-up when the OTHERS chart went up 140% last time… this happened because Bitcoin and the S...

$250 billion stablecoin market: Real-time audits key to avoiding next crisis

With more than $250 billion in stablecoins now circulating, most of it backed by US Treasuries, assets like Bitcoin (BTC) are becoming a major aspect of global markets and capital flow.

That’s what we mean by infrastructure that doesn’t just scale, but endures.”  — Andrei Grachev Why ‘real-time proof’ is the future of trusted stablecoins The stablecoin evolution is a double-edged sword. While cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin do promise more efficient transfers across borders a...
