Altcoin Shakeout: Capitulation or Rebound?

Nearly 25% of the top 200 cryptos have hit 1-year lows, sparking fears of market capitulation—and a possible altcoin rebound. The Feb. 7 drop pushed 24% of major cryptos to yearly lows, the worst since August 2024 . Bear markets often see 30%+ at lows before true capitulation. The $3.13T market cap drop & Solana liquidations hint at overleveraged positions being wiped out. Bear or bull? Analysts say the next move could define the market’s direction.

Blockchain Gaming Surges 3x
Blockchain gaming is off to a strong start in 2025, with activity up 386% year-over-year, hitting 7.3M daily players in January, per DappRadar.

Big winners:

Ronin: 9% of all blockchain gaming (630K daily users).

Polygon: Activity doubled, fueled by QORPO WORLD & Planet IX

Avalanche’s Off The Grid: Holding steady with 4.9M monthly wallets.

What’s the catch?
Funding collapsed—dropping 93% from December’s $222M to just $16M in January. Gaming is booming, but is it sustainable without fresh capital?

Bitcoin closed at $98,330 on Feb. 21—its highest in nearly three weeks, bringing relief after weeks of low volatility.

What are key drivers?

Stronger BTC momentum despite a narrow range.

US jobless claims rose to 219K, hinting at economic strain.

Fed unlikely to cut rates in March, per CME FedWatch.

What’s next?
