Here's When Altcoins Could Rebound, According to Swiss Bank Sygnum

While Bitcoin (BTC) continues to dominate the crypto market—reaching a new all-time high following Donald Trump's election victory—most altcoins remain well below their peak values.

Despite Bitcoin's (BTC) price hitting a new all-time high following Donald Trump's election victory and persistent rumors of an impending rally, most altcoins remain significantly below their peak values.

While Ethereum (ETH) is slowly catching up, investors are still awaiting the broader altcoin rally to begin in earnest.

According to a recent report by major Swiss bank Sygnum, the wait may soon be over. Sygnum analysts predict that altcoins could recover in the second quarter of 2025.

Rising From the Depths: Altcoins Await Resurgence

Sygnum's analysis suggests that altcoins are on the verge of a comeback, driven by several converging factors. The report predicts that the U.S. will see a reduction in regulatory pressure on cryptocurrencies in the second quarter of 2025.

This will be accompanied by President Trump's efforts to create digital asset reserves and support stablecoin frameworks, further propelling altcoins towards new highs.

"Bitcoin’s dominance reached a four-year high in April," the report noted, "but we expect protocols that engage users with Trump's incentives to outperform, leading to a decline in BTC dominance."

Among the most promising protocols that could benefit from this shift, Sygnum highlighted:

Additionally, Base, Coinbase's Layer-2 network, was mentioned as a leading infrastructure player that could see increased adoption and developer activity in the coming months.

As institutional interest in crypto continues to deepen and regulatory clarity improves, Sygnum believes the conditions are setting up for altcoins to regain investor attention and step out of Bitcoin's shadow.
