When are #Altcoins going to run?
We can't deny.
The markets are still terrible as we're still in the longest bear market in history for #Altcoins.
My #Altcoin portfolio is down more than 50%.
That's not great.
People lose faith.
What can we expect and when does it turn?
There are multiple sides to the story to discuss and the first one that I wanted to debunk is the entire 4-year cycle case.
I don't know why Web3 remains so attached to it, however, the 4-year cycle is gone.
It's not solely a Web3 game anymore, #Bitcoin became a mature asset and through the ETF we've seen that flows don't care about any 4-year cycle.
Additionally, if we look at the current case of the markets.
Bitcoin is at $120K while the rates are 4%+.
Bitcoin was at $65K in 2021 with rates at 0.5%.
Imagine where we're going to be at when Bitcoin is going to be running upwards massively with rates to drop from a cliff. The business cycle is still at its weakest (it's a miracle that it's not called a recession).
On the other hand, this cycle has proven to be completely different than previous cycles.
- A Bitcoin ATH prior to the halving.
- No #Altcoin run this deep in the cycle. Four years ago we've had a case that we've already had 99% of the returns in.
This tells me that all the 4-year ideas are thrown out of the window, something which I've been saying for a long time.
That's also why going to build a strategy based on time is going to result into a massive misjudgement by many.
I'd rather build a strategy based on price, indicators and risk rather than time.
Now, #Altcoins are about to start their bull cycle as most of them are on the edge of breaking out, while some have been breaking out.
The first strong sign of a breakout is given through $ETH breaking above its 20-EMA on the daily timeframe.
This was the first breakout since the entire #Altcoin bear market has started.
Where can we compare the move to? Yes, exactly, September '19.
We've just witnessed the biggest altcoin bear market in history, as the business cycle has been taking a long time to turn around and we're literally on edge.
The rate cuts are coming. The money printer will be turned on. It's time to inject a lot of money into crypto.
That's why I think that betting on the 4-year cycle to be done is a foolish idea to do.
This is the final easy cycle, but you need to keep your head up and be patient.
The next #Bitcoin top will be the top of everything and will kick off the biggest depression in history.
I'm staying entirely allocated into #Altcoins as most of those altcoins are going to be breaking through their 20-Day EMA indicating that we're in a bull cycle.
The last time this happened was in Q4 of 2024, one entire year ago.
During that period, $ETH didn't break through the 20-EMA, indicating how much of an upwards momentum we're likely going to see in the markets as there's more strength being build up.
My #Altcoin Portfolio
I'm going to stay fully allocated into my altcoins.
I've been able to actively trade the portfolio in a downwards trending market.
Despite the fact that most altcoins are down 80% since I've started the portfolio, my portfolio is down 50%.
That means, a great period is upon us.
I'm going to trade it actively, a lot.
Stay tuned, I'll make more updates on the portfolio in the coming weeks.
The VeChain Foundation is pleased to announce we recently became clients of Franklin Templeton, one of the world’s largest asset managers with over $1.7 trillion in assets under management.
Our decision marks a significant development for the broader enterprise adoption of tokenized financial instruments— spurred by accelerating regulatory clarity and institutional interest; and exemplified by initiatives like the Genius Act.
In our view, this action brings a new dimension to Franklin Templeton’s Benji platform, bolstered by a history of deploying novel, real world applications for blockchain, and marrying them with regulated financial products through tokenization technology.
VeChain reveals new value propositions reflecting, for example, dramatically reduced friction in financial and billing workflows—eliminating FX fees, minimizing intermediary layers, and operating outside the constraints of traditional banking hours, offering a more seamless, efficient environment for prospective clients.
The outcome of this relationship is the opening of high-performance, 24/7 financial infrastructure offering low costs, enhanced security, and strong capital efficiency—capabilities that benefit both VeChain and its partners.
VeChain is actively exploring ways to proliferate the use of Benji throughout its ecosystem, leveraging distinctive features such as intraday yield, instant liquidity, and composability.
Our goal, as always, has been to deliver real-world ready, institutional-grade blockchain technologies that drive real-world transformation.
It's still the best time to be accumulating positions on #Altcoins as fundamentally strong projects are extremely mispriced, in my opinion.
One of them is $VET - they just launched StarGate staking which already has over $125Million VET staked, and their app platform, VeBetter, passed 4 million users recently showing growth for the network. Accumulation underway at these levels.
Looking good.
Will retail ever look at $VET again?
At the peak of 2021, VeChain hit a $15B market cap.
Today? Just around $2B.
Is the market sleeping on one of the most real-world-ready altcoins?
Let’s unpack it 🧵 👇
Tokenization, RWA and other Web3 technologies are opening up new opportunities for users to monetize their data.
Jake shares how VeChain & the VeBetter ecosystem are tapping into a vast reservoir of latent value, minted by millions of individual actions everyday👇📽️
$VET #B3TR
BREAKING: @danawhite joins @vechainofficial as advisor to support their sustainability app ecosystem - VeBetter
Dana: "When I see something that needs to be fixed, I jump in and try to fix it".
Huge announcement for the mainstream adoption of crypto.
This is a new chapter for VeBetter - now finally accessible to the masses at a top tier exchange. Let's go, legends!
Wait until you see how we're making the user journey simple and seamless - powerful stuff.
This is the age of utility project Web3 adoption! $VET
The markets are slowly waking up and I think it's time to focus at actual RWA & compliant tokens within the space.
One of them is $VET, which recently obtained the MiCAR license in Europe through which they'll be able to passport their services through Europe.
What does obtaining a MiCAR license mean?
Well, the MiCAR license is super important if you want to be able to service within the European Union as it's basically a framework build for Web 3.
@vechainofficial has announced their Renaissance in December '24, which will be going live in July '25.
In order to be able to provide and continue to build as an actual RWA protocol, there are a lot of legal requirements to onboard Web 2 companies and through obtaining the MiCA license, VeChain basically opened the doors to actual adoption of their protocol.
It's an utopy to believe that we'll be having adoption of a more sustainable world with Web 3 alone, it needs to be connected with Web 2.
What is VeChain Renaissance?
The primary key behind VeChain Renaissance is the change of being a 'token holder' to 'network guardian'.
The role of a staker within the ecosystem is more active and fulfills more roles and is more rewarding than it used to be.
Ultimately serving the trilemma within the ecosystem of a project where all parties are being rewarded for a positive action within the ecosystem.
The first step towards the Renaissance is the unveiling of the Stargate Staking NFT program, through which, if you're able to be joining early, you'll be rewarded by a potential APY of close to 12% as an early bird.
However, on top of that, you'll be having a bigger stake within the entire ecosystem: securing transactions, protecting the ecosystem and real decision-making power on the proposals provided within the ecosystem.
Lower inflation within VeChain Renaissance
Additionally, the inflationary rate of $VTHO has significantly come down as 100% of the base transaction fees are being burned and the block rewards flow directly to delegators and validators, which means that every single transaction directly benefits everyone securing the network.
This is positive, as therefore the higher the activity on the blockchain, the more positive this is for every participant within the ecosystem.
MiCAR and Real-World Use Cases
Finally, obtaining the MiCAR license opens the doors for sustainability enterprises to be joining forces within VeChain.
The way of doing marketing has significantly changed and sustainability, transparancy and traceability will play a significantly larger role in the years to come.
I assume that we'll see bigger players starting to allocate funds within the Web 3 ecosystem through campaigns which reward the end-user, while making them aware of the impact they make on a more sustainable world.
That's why I think $VET will do well, and that's why I'm looking at joining the Renaissance Early Bird program.
BREAKING NEWS
#B3TR to be listed on @Bybit_Official !
This is one of the biggest crypto exchanges on the planet!
Moon mission has started!
🚀🚀🚀
#VeChain#VET $VET $VTHO
I fancy projects that continue to improve to enhance a bigger impact in the space.
$VET is one of them.
Recently, they announced their VeChain Renaissance, a full update on the tokenomics and new use case for VeChain.
I think it's building up for significant adoption.
The VeChain eco is wholesome AF.
@vekingsCTO made me a PFP over the weekend, I went shopping with @greencart_vet and got rewarded for buying fruits and veggies, and I just did a 5K run using @green_commuter and earned $B3TR.
This is how you use Web3 for better, amigos.
$VET
$VET couldn't hold above that 0.0264 range high, so as long as it holds below on the higher time frames, we have a confirmed deviation/fakeout.
A lot of alts are starting to look like this.

#VeChain#VeFam
Older coins are actually growing. $VET is one of them.
They recently announced VeBetterDAO, $B3TR, an ecosystem in which you earn tokens for taking sustainable actions.
I think that communities and 'Earn' tokens are going to be massive in the coming years as it's a whole new reward system and business model.
VeBetterDao combines these factors in the sense that it connects RWA, communities, a DAO, and sustainability.
The latter is a widespread problem, and our planet has many issues to face. To stimulate everyone, you should be rewarded, and it should be made accessible.
The good part is that there's no entry barrier. Every individual can earn tokens through VeChain's ecosystem.
I'm very interested as it combines many factors that I personally find meaningful.
