FAQ
- What is the Altcoin Season Index?
- The share of large coins that outperformed Bitcoin over the last 90 days. If 75% or more beat BTC, the market is in "altcoin season"; at 25% or less, it is "Bitcoin season". Anything in between means a mixed market. We use the top 100 coins by market cap, excluding stablecoins, tokenized funds, gold, and wrapped tokens.
- Why can the number differ from other sites?
- The method is similar to CoinMarketCap's: top 100 coins by market cap, 90 days. A gap of a few points is still possible because the excluded coins and daily price sources differ (we use Binance, Gate, or OKX candles, and CoinGecko when a coin isn't listed there). Coins younger than 90 days are not counted.
- Why does stablecoin market cap matter?
- Stablecoins are the cash of the crypto ecosystem. A rising total means fresh money is ready to be deployed; a falling total means money is being withdrawn. Data comes from DefiLlama, calculated from each stablecoin's circulating supply.
