Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan said in a Wednesday interview that the broad, euphoric altcoin seasons of past cycles are unlikely to return, and that future cycles will favor tokens with real-world traction and applications. He argued that instead of a uniform rally where capital rotates from Bitcoin to Ether and then to the wider altcoin market, the next phase will see more differentiated revaluations focused on assets tied to substantial businesses.

PI climbed 14% over 24 hours to about $0.19 as trading volume jumped to $32.63 million and community sentiment turned strongly bullish. However, its correlation with Bitcoin has moved into a range that previously coincided with 20–25% pullbacks, and a low ADX reading suggests the current breakout may still lack strong trend confirmation.

Since their launch in the United States in July, Solana exchange-traded funds have gathered around $1.5 billion in inflows even as SOL has dropped 57% from its launch level. Analyst Eric Balchunas notes that roughly half of these flows come from institutional investors, and that on a market-cap-adjusted basis Solana ETF demand is about double what Bitcoin ETFs saw at a comparable stage.

Dogecoin has retraced below $0.10 against the US Dollar and is now trading under $0.0965 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. The price is forming a base above the $0.0932 trend line support and the $0.0920 area, with bulls eyeing a potential move back toward $0.10 and beyond. Failure to clear $0.0950 could instead trigger another decline toward $0.0880 and possibly $0.0820.

Zcash (ZEC) has stabilized above a major demand region around $200 after a broader decline from levels above $700, with price now moving within a narrow band under key resistance. The coin recently tested the $240–$251 area, where horizontal resistance and moving averages converge, while Fibonacci levels near $250–$268 outline the next upside targets if buyers maintain control.

This week XRP briefly reclaimed the $1.40 level while its key support near $1.30 remains under pressure. Analyst Sam Daodu highlights a trading range between $1.30 and $1.50 for 2026, warning that XRP’s close correlation with Bitcoin means a drop in BTC, especially below $60,000, could trigger a sharper decline in XRP despite recent gains.

Ripple has integrated Coinbase's derivatives products into its Ripple Prime platform, allowing institutional clients to trade futures on Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana within its prime brokerage environment. The offering, cleared through Nodal Clear under Commodity Futures Trading Commission oversight, includes nano contracts aimed at more precise risk management. Ripple Prime, which reportedly cleared over $3 trillion in transactions last year, is also expanding via acquisitions and new on-chain and investment partnerships to deepen its institutional infrastructure.
