) 4. Bitcoin's dominance is challenged, is the altcoin season seeing a revival?

Data shows that Bitcoin's dominance ###BTC.D( is facing key technical resistance, which may trigger a new round of altcoin market activity. Analysts predict that if BTC.D breaks below the resistance level, it will lead to strong altcoin performance, possibly entering a new "super cycle."

The Bitcoin dominance index reflects the proportion of Bitcoin's market capitalization in the overall cryptocurrency market. When this index falls, it usually indicates that funds are flowing into other altcoins. Historically, altcoin rallies tend to occur after the Bitcoin dominance peaks.

Industry insiders point out that payment tokens such as XRP, XLM, HBAR, etc. have started to rise, while large-cap cryptocurrencies like BNB, LINK, and ADA remain at low levels, potentially becoming the next targets for capital rotation. In addition, the Solana ecosystem and emerging projects like SUI and APTOS are also worth paying attention to.

However, some analysts remind that altcoin markets are often highly volatile, and investors should remain cautious. If Bitcoin can break through the $120,000 mark, the top 20 mainstream coins by market capitalization may collectively experience a rise, which could also suppress the altcoin market.

) 5. Ripple and SWIFT's New Struggle: Can XRP Lead the Next Wave of On-Demand Settlement?

XRP community members have recently attracted attention, believing that this altcoin may play an important role in on-demand settlement. This comes at a time when the crypto company Ripple has made progress in its bid to overthrow SWIFT.

On-demand settlement refers to the process in cross-border payments where the local currency is exchanged for foreign currency only at the final step, thereby reducing currency risk exposure. This model is considered the future direction of international settlement. XRP, with its fast and low-cost characteristics, is being viewed as a potential tool to promote on-demand settlement.

Analysts say that if XRP can really make breakthroughs in the on-demand settlement field, it will have a huge impact on the existing international settlement system. SWIFT, as a traditional system, has always had flaws in efficiency and transparency, and XRP may become a strong alternative.

However, there are also views that whether XRP can truly achieve on-demand settlement still requires support and recognition from regulatory agencies. After all, cross-border payments involve sovereign finance, and any changes need government involvement. Therefore, whether Ripple can promote innovation under the premise of regulatory compliance will be a key factor in determining the future of XRP.
