Google Searches for “Alt Season” Collapses, Implication for Ethereum Price

Google Searches for “Alt Season” Collapses, Implication for Ethereum Price

Earlier this month, excitement around “alt season” spread across the crypto space. However, Google Trends data now shows a sharp decline in U.S. searches, signaling fading hype and waning retail investor interest. Is Alt Season Hype Fading? There has been a dramatic collapse in search interest for the term “alt season” in the United States as seen on Google Trends. This drop is striking, given that the term reached a peak score of 100 during July 20–26, 2025. “Alt season” search trends in the United States. | Source: Google Trends Alt season describes a period when altcoins, including ETH ETH $4 188 24h volatility: 3.1% Market cap: $506.35 B Vol. 24h: $35.25 B , outperform Bitcoin BTC $113 665 24h volatility: 1.6% Market cap: $2.26 T Vol. 24h: $40.08 B amid a broader shift in dominance. In August, Ethereum reached a multi-year high of $4,788.55, just below its all-time high of $4,891. XRP XRP $2.95 24h volatility: 1.7% Market cap: $175.01 B Vol. 24h: $6.12 B also rose to $3.642 as the Ripple-SEC lawsuit concluded. Altcoins like BNB BNB $831.0 24h volatility: 0.9% Market cap: $115.75 B Vol. 24h: $1.45 B bagged a new all-time high of $868.67 and have successfully managed to maintain their growth trend to date. The positive momentum in the altcoin market proved unsustainable, as macroeconomic factors, such as uncertainty over interest rate cuts, weighed on investor confidence. The rest of the month saw a sharp selloff in the altcoin market, with different coins giving up their earlier accrued gains. What remains to be seen is whether or not the search trend will shift as Bitcoin’s dominance remains under a negative threat. The Corporate Adoption Trigger Market experts believe that a steady inflow of capital into the altcoin market could help coins break through key resistance levels. As the closest alternative to Bitcoin, Ethereum has drawn the interest of institutional investors like Tom Lee’s BitMine and Joseph Lubin’s SharpLink Gaming. With the ultimate plans to buy up to 5% of the total Ethereum stash in circulation, BitMine has retained the crown of the largest Ethereum treasury firm. It boasts of more than $6.6 billion in assets. Other altcoins, including XRP, Litecoin LTC $113.8 24h volatility: 3.4% Market cap: $8.68 B Vol. 24h: $685.96 M , BNB, and Dogecoin DOGE $0.22 24h volatility: 3.4% Market cap: $32.39 B Vol. 24h: $2.69 B , are also seeing a promising flow of institutional capital. With the BNC investment into BNB credited as a catalyst for the all-time high push, the projection is that ETH, XRP, and ADA ADA $0.90 24h volatility: 1.0% Market cap: $32.72 B Vol. 24h: $2.64 B will also hit similar milestones in the future. Besides this treasury factor, the proposed approval of spot ETFs tied to these altcoins is also considered a major trigger for the incoming alt season. nextThe post Google Searches for “Alt Season” Collapses, Implication for Ethereum Price appeared first on Coinspeaker.

Ethereum Leads $3.75 Billion Crypto Inflows, XRP And Solana Join The Party

Ethereum Leads $3.75 Billion Crypto Inflows, XRP And Solana Join The Party

According to CoinShares’ latest Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report, inflows into crypto-products were $3.75 billion last week, the fourth-largest on record. Unsurprisingly, Ethereum was the standout after attracting the majority of capital with record-breaking inflows. Solana and XRP also experienced impressive demand, resulting in both cryptocurrencies receiving inflows exceeding 10% of the year-to-date total flows. Ethereum’s Record-Breaking Numbers Ethereum witnessed the most activity last week since the 2021 bull run that took many crypto investors by surprise. In terms of crypto-based products, Ethereum managed to displace Bitcoin’s supremacy last week by leading with $2.87 billion in inflows, representing 77% of the total $3.75 billion. This performance brought its year-to-date inflows to $11.094 billion, which is about 29% of total Ethereum assets under management.  Related Reading: Here’s Why Bitcoin And Ethereum Prices Are Crashing The intensity of institutional demand had an immediate impact on Ethereum’s market price action. Notably, the Ethereum price surged to $4,776 last week, its highest level since the 2021 bull market.  In terms of geographical location, most of the inflows came from the United States, with $3.725 billion in inflows, more than 99% of the total. This concentration was mostly by iShares ETFs. Smaller but meaningful contributions came from Canada with $33.7 million, Hong Kong with $20.9 million, and Australia with $12.1 million. On the other hand, Brazil and Sweden posted outflows of $10.6 million and $49.9 million, respectively. Although Bitcoin also managed to push to a new all-time price high of $124,128 last week, the leading cryptocurrency took a step back in institutional inflows. Bitcoin brought in $552 million last week. Although its year-to-date inflows are larger in absolute terms at $21.08 billion, they represent only 11.6% of its total assets under management (AuM), compared to Ethereum’s 29%. XRP And Solana Join The Party Although Ethereum captured most of the inflows, both Solana and XRP also attracted notable inflows that show the altcoins are gaining strength among institutional investors, despite the absence of spot crypto ETFs for these assets in the US market. Related Reading: Ethereum Falls Behind Solana In Major Metric, Is Altcoin Season At Risk? Solana-based products recorded $176.5 million, bringing its monthly flows to $199.2 million and its year-to-date figure to $1.05 billion. Effectively, this means that Solana-based products witnessed 89% of their total monthly inflow and 16.8% of their year-to-date inflow last week. XRP witnessed about $125.9 million worth of inflows last week, boosting its monthly total to $148.1 million and its 2025 total to $1.238 billion. As such, XRP-based products also witnessed 85% of their total monthly inflow and 10% of their year-to-date inflow last week. Sui, Cardano, Chainlink, and Short Bitcoin products also witnessed $11.3, $0.8 million, $1.2 million, and $4 million in inflows, respectively, last week. The only major exception was Litecoin, which diverged from the broader trend and recorded net outflows of $400,000. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

Expert Identifies Recent SEC Update That Could Create Upward Pressure on XRP Price

Expert Identifies Recent SEC Update That Could Create Upward Pressure on XRP Price

While XRP struggles around the $3 mark, widely followed commentator Zach Rector has identified a new regulatory factor that could boost its price for a while. This comes amid recent developments concerning XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs). For context, the U.S. SEC on Monday postponed its ruling on several proposed XRP ETFs, including the Grayscale XRP Trust, CoinShares XRP ETF, and the 21Shares Core XRP ETF. With this extension, the regulator has pushed the final decision deadline to late October 2025. How It Could Create Upward Pressure on XRP Price In response to the SEC’s move, Rector commented that the delay could create steady upward pressure on XRP’s price in the coming weeks. He noted that anticipation for ETF approvals is likely to drive investor interest until the official launch date in October. This sentiment reflects hopes among investors looking to position themselves in XRP ahead of the SEC's potential approval. Specifically, Rector believes the market may follow a "buy the rumor, sell the news" pattern. He expects short-term buying pressure for XRP with the view that buying will begin now in anticipation of an eventual sell-off around the approval date in October. Upon the final decision, he projects a price pullback. However, he noted that consistent inflows into these ETFs could reverse the selling pressure shortly afterward. Interestingly, a similar scenario played out with Bitcoin spot ETFs in 2024. Expectations were sky-high in late 2023, with widespread belief—despite the SEC's then-skeptical stance on crypto—that approval would come by the first week of January 2024. Industry commentators, including those from Bloomberg, were almost certain of it. And indeed, it happened. However, on the day of approval, Bitcoin’s price dipped as the news merely met trader expectations. In the following weeks, record inflows into Bitcoin investment products propelled the price to a new all-time high, just three months later, and even before its halving. Real Price Fireworks Could Follow for XRP Rector is hoping for a similar scenario with XRP. He believes potential inflows into XRP ETFs could drive the asset into double-digit territory and beyond. Industry leaders like Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg have projected that XRP could attract $5 billion in inflows within the first month of ETF trading. Meanwhile, JPMorgan analysts believe XRP ETFs could draw $8 billion in their first year. Market analysts have used various multipliers to estimate the impact of these inflows on XRP’s price. Some forecasts have suggested the price could reach as high as $26. Another Big News Coming in October  Alongside the ETF decisions, Ripple is also awaiting a ruling from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency concerning its filing for a national banking charter. Ripple submitted the application in July 2025, and under the OCC’s standard review process, a decision could also arrive in late October. This means both Ripple and XRP could be facing two landmark regulatory events in the same month.
