Altcoin Capital Rotation

Definition

Altcoin capital rotation describes the cyclical movement of investment funds among various digital assets. This market dynamic involves investors shifting capital from a dominant cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin, into alternative coins when market sentiment suggests potential for higher gains in those assets. Conversely, funds may return to more established digital assets during periods of market uncertainty or consolidation. This process significantly influences altcoin valuations and market cycles.
