Should l Buy ALT?
- Market Rotation Signs: After months of Bitcoin-led momentum, analysts note that approximately 21% of Binance-listed altcoins have reclaimed their 200-day moving average, a significant increase from 2% in February, indicating a potential new phase of market risk appetite forming quietly.
- Volume Shift: Altcoin trading volume on centralized exchanges is rising, with the 30-day moving average crossing above the 365-day average, suggesting fresh interest in mid-cap and lower-cap assets, which is crucial for sustaining price momentum and attracting buyers instead of panic sellers.
- Improvement in TOTAL2: The TOTAL2 metric, which tracks the market capitalization of crypto assets excluding Bitcoin, is strengthening, and if this trend continues alongside rising volume, it would support the argument for an altcoin season, although further confirmation is needed to avoid the risk of a short-lived bounce.
- Cautious Market Sentiment: While indicators show early improvement, the Altcoin Season Index remains far below confirmation levels, suggesting that the current market movement should be viewed as an early rotation rather than a full breakout, prompting investors to focus on which assets can maintain support after rallies.

About ALT
AltLayer is an open and decentralized protocol for rollups. AltLayer brings together a novel idea of Restaked Rollups which takes rollups (spun from any rollup stack such as OP Stack, Arbitrum Orbit, Polygon CDK, ZK Stack, etc.) and provides them with enhanced security, decentralization, interoperability and crypto-economic fast finality by leveraging restaking mechanism.ALT is AltLayer's native utility token and is used in the following functions:Economic bond: ALT token will be used alongside restaked assets to provide economic stake. This stake can be slashed if a malicious behavior is detected.Governance: ALT token holders can vote on governance decisions.Protocol Incentivization: Operators in the AltLayer ecosystem can earn ALT tokens as rewards for their services.Protocol Fees: Network participants will need to pay for intra-network services in ALT tokens.AltLayer’s core offering of restaked rollups consists of three key products: VITAL: An Actively Validated Service (AVS), where operators verify blocks and the corresponding states committed by the rollup sequencer and raise fraud proof challenges if necessary.MACH: A protocol to provide faster finality to rollups by allowing operators to restake Ethereum-based assets to back any claims on the rollup state.SQUAD: Offer decentralized sequencing with economic backing. Decentralized sequencing eliminates short-term liveness concerns, bad MEV, rent extractions and other issues associated with rollups that operate with a single sequencer.AltLayer has raised 22.8MM USD from two rounds of private token sales, where 18.50% of the ALT total token supply has been sold at 0.008 USD / ALT and 0.018 USD / ALT respectively.AltLayer’s investors include Polychain Capital, Binance Labs, Jump Crypto, Breyer Capital, DAO5, Balaji Srinivasan (former CTO of Coinbase and former GP of a16z), Gavin Wood (Co-Founder of Ethereum and Parity), Sean Neville (Circle Co-Founder and USDC architect) and Ryan Selkis (Founder of Messari), among others.As of January 17th 2024, the total supply of ALT is 10,000,000,000 and the circulating supply upon listing will be 1,100,000,000 (11.00% of the total token supply.)
