According to crypto sentiment platform Santiment, mentions of altcoins on social media have reached their lowest level in two years, while indicators show that investors are focusing on Bitcoin.
Data from Santiment shows that in the week ending February 27, the social dominance of the altcoin was 33 points, a sharp drop from 750 points in July 2025, around the time Dogecoin (DOGE) increased by 59% in 30 days.
Google’s worldwide search data shows a similar pattern. According to Google Trends, the term “altcoins” scored 4 out of 100 at the end of February, compared to 100 in mid-August.
Sentiment sees a lack of interest as a bullish signal
Sentiment said the lack of interest in altcoins is a bullish signal. “However, historically, moments like these, when social volume on altcoin interest is finally low, are around the time the rally starts,” Sentiment said in an X post on Thursday.
Other indicators also show that the market’s interest has shifted away from altcoins. CoinMarketCap’s Altcoin Season Index reads “Bitcoin Season” at 34 out of 100.
The index fluctuates between “Altcoin Season” and “Bitcoin Season” scores based on the performance of the top 100 altcoins against Bitcoin over the past 90 days.
