According to analyst Dan Gambardello, the global altcoin market appears ready for a major breakout as key macroeconomic and policy factors align. Growing optimism stems from expectations that the Federal Reserve will soon end its Quantitative Tightening (QT) cycle, potentially marking a turning point for risk assets. Rising institutional participation and record liquidity levels are also creating conditions that could drive renewed momentum across the digital asset landscape.

Attention has turned to the Federal Reserve, with reports suggesting that QT could be concluded at the upcoming FOMC meeting. Alongside this, market participants anticipate rate cuts that could encourage fresh investment inflows. Historically, similar periods of policy easing have fueled growth in cryptocurrencies as liquidity expands and borrowing costs decline. Consequently, many investors are positioning themselves ahead of what could be the start of a new cycle for altcoins.
This expected shift in monetary policy could inject confidence into a market that has endured nearly two years of compression. As liquidity conditions improve, analysts believe altcoins could experience a gradual rise supported by stronger market fundamentals and increasing investor appetite for risk.
Another major factor underpinning this optimism is the record $7.5 trillion currently parked in U.S. money market funds. As yields fall with interest rate reductions, a portion of these funds may flow into assets offering higher returns such as cryptocurrencies and equities. In previous cycles, similar liquidity shifts have driven massive rallies across global markets. Hence, the current environment could once again set the stage for substantial capital rotation into digital assets.
Institutional engagement continues to strengthen amid growing regulatory clarity. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong noted that bipartisan progress on a crypto market structure bill could accelerate before year-end. Additionally, Ethereum’s ETF approval and upcoming altcoin ETF proposals are opening regulated investment channels.
Despite prolonged consolidation, the altcoin market cap excluding Bitcoin and stablecoins has held above $1 trillion, signaling resilience. With the Fed nearing policy easing and institutional rails expanding, altcoins may soon enter a new phase of sustainable growth.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki says he prefers accumulating gold, silver, oil, Bitcoin, and Ether, which he deems “hard money.” Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki, a strong proponent for Bitcoin, says it is “criminal” that kids are being taught from a young age to work for an inflationary currency while arguing the virtues of Bitcoin. “Go to school, get a job, work hard, save money, and invest in a 401(k) full of garbage,” Kiyosaki said during a podcast hosted by Bitcoin Collective Co-Founder Jordan Walker on Wednesday. Kiyosaki pulled no punches as he lambasted central banks, equating them to “criminal organizations” and even calling them “Marxists,” as he says that every time central banks print money, it makes the rich richer, while the other economic classes suffer.Read more
