‘Largest’ volume skew for ETH confirms pivot to altcoins: Glassnode
Main Idea
Traders are shifting focus to altcoins like ETH and BNB, as evidenced by surging activity, volume skews, and changes in USDT flows, signaling a potential altcoin season.
Key Points
1. Ether (ETH) has seen the largest volume skew in its favor since 2022, with open interest dominance reaching nearly 40%, the highest since April 2023.
2. USDT transfers on the TRON network show a sharp increase, with daily volumes between $2.5 to $3 billion, suggesting liquidity may be entering the altcoin market.
3. BNB has outperformed Bitcoin, rising 7.4% in a week, with growing utility in the BNB Smart Chain ecosystem and a disclosed $105 million BNB treasury.
4. USDT reserves on exchanges have dropped from $45 billion in February 2025 to $36 billion, indicating capital redeployment into the market.
5. Analysts note that ETH's price reclaiming $3.8K and BNB's performance are strong signals of an emerging altcoin season.
Description
Surging ETH and BNB activity, alongside shifting USDT flows, are all signals that traders are pivoting into altcoins.
