After Bitcoin reached a new all-time high (ATH) in 2021, Ethereum has finally surpassed its previous ATH. However, many altcoins remain below their previous highs. Crypto options platform PowerTrade predicts an upcoming altcoin season by the end of 2025. PowerTrade Co-Founder and Chief Trading Officer Bernd Sischka stated that option traders anticipate strong year-end gains for multiple altcoins, including Solana (SOL), XRP, TRUMP (a potential play on the Trump brand), Hyperliguid (HYPE), and Chainlink (LINK). Sischka also noted that SOL, XRP, and TRUMP could potentially lead this upcoming rally. The platform’s trading volume exceeded $1 billion in August, with call options accounting for 68% of that volume – pointing to a positive trend. Many investors have been active in call trading options expiring at the end of December for AEVO, AR, DOGE, ENA, HYPE, LINK, MOG, SOL, TIA, TRUMP, and ZRO, betting on an altcoin season starting towards the year’s end. **PowerTrade predicts Solana has been a standout in call options, attracting strong buying demand for its September and December maturities – leading to significantly higher expected expiration prices than current levels. This suggests investors expect significant SOL price growth during Q4.** Sischka also noted an unusually large increase in XRP call options in December. While memecoins like Dogecoin (DOGE) and Pepe (PEPE) primarily attract retail investors, the spike in open interest for tokens such as WIF signals that institutional investors are quietly positioning themselves, especially in more established altcoins.** The increasing option volume in altcoins other than Bitcoin and Ethereum suggests both individual and institutional investors expect an upcoming altcoin rally. They’re preparing to make significant gains from this potential boom in the coming months. *This is not investment advice.* Continue Reading: Altcoin Season May Finally Be Coming!
