Altcoin Accumulation

Definition

Altcoin accumulation refers to the strategic acquisition of alternative cryptocurrencies. This process involves investors or entities systematically purchasing altcoins, often with the expectation of future price appreciation relative to Bitcoin or fiat currencies. Such activity frequently occurs during market downturns, when assets are perceived as undervalued, or in anticipation of specific protocol upgrades or ecosystem growth. The objective is to build a substantial holding of a particular altcoin, aiming for long-term capital appreciation.
