Altcoin Spot Volume Surges to Nearly Four Times Bitcoin's

The altcoin spot trading volume has reached its highest level since September 2025, nearly four times that of Bitcoin. According to Glassnode data, this surge in activity signals a broader market participation beyond just BTC.

The Altcoin Season Index has also risen to 62%, indicating that a larger share of major altcoins is outperforming Bitcoin over the measured period.

Market breadth has strengthened as well, with 87% of Binance-listed altcoins trading above their 200-day moving averages, up sharply from roughly 20% in August.

The wider market capitalization measure supports this picture, with TOTAL2 near $1.17 trillion, tracking crypto assets excluding Bitcoin while including Ethereum.
