Has the Altcoin Season Started? The Latest Data for the Altcoin Season Index Has Been Released! 24 Altcoins Performed Better Than Bitcoin, Here Is the List

According to the CoinMarketCap Altcoin Season Index data, the crypto market is currently clearly in the Bitcoin Season.

The index value is only at 24 out of 100. This value indicates that Bitcoin's performance over the last 90 days has been better than most altcoins. The annual peak was recorded on December 4, 2024, at 87 as the "Altcoin Season"; however, on April 26, 2025, this value dropped to 12, marking the annual low.

Despite this, some altcoins have managed to outperform Bitcoin in the last 3 months. Here are the standout altcoins that have performed (%30.10) better than Bitcoin in the last 90 days and their growth rates:

1. SYRUP – %385.38
2. PENGU – %252.20
3. HYPE – %227.8
4. VIRTUAL – %187.91
5. FARTCOIN – %142.99
6. SPX – %141.56
7. WIF – %118.86
8. AERO – %98.48
9. AAVE – %75.98
10. BCH – %62.24
11. SEI – %60.39
12. FET – %57.58
13. QNT – %56.65
14. BONK – %53.32
15. TAO – %48.45
16. XMR – %47.70
17. KAIA – %43.31
18. ETH – %39.45
19. SKY – %39.22
20. PEPE – %36.72
21. FLOKI – %33.74
22. INJ – %32.87
23. FORM – %32.47
24. SUI – %30.61

Especially the significant value gains of relatively new or speculative coins like SYRUP, PENGU, and HYPE give the impression that we are on the brink of an altcoin season.

However, the fact that the CMC Altcoin Season Index is still at low levels indicates that the overall market has not yet fully turned in favor of altcoins.
