The crypto market is booming as Donald Trump takes office, with Bitcoin hitting a record $109,700 and total crypto capitalization soaring to $3.84 trillion.
While Bitcoin dominates headlines, altcoins are gaining traction — signaling the start of a potential alt season.
Solana (SOL) leads the charge, boosted by meme coins like the official Trump ($TRUMP) token, which skyrocketed from $0.35 to $75.8, giving Solana renewed network activity and investor appeal.
Other strong performers include Toncoin (TON), Near Protocol (NEAR), Ethereum (ETH), and Dogecoin (DOGE) — each showing growth as traders diversify beyond BTC and ETH.
Analysts predict altcoins could see explosive upside once Bitcoin consolidates, as liquidity shifts into smaller-cap assets with strong fundamentals.
Despite market saturation, experts emphasize choosing projects with utility, transparency, and active communities. With rising developer activity and new use cases, the altcoin market remains full of opportunities for early investors.
