Altcoin Season: The Comeback of Established Coins
By Kapil Rajyaguru
“Dino tokens” refer to older, well-established cryptocurrencies like XRP, Tron, Cardano, and Hedera, which had been around for years but were often overlooked during the more recent altcoin trends.
These tokens, once considered a bit outdated or stagnant, have made a surprising comeback, with some experiencing massive rallies in a short period.
Murad Mahmudov, a well-known crypto evangelist and memecoin advocate, coined the term “dino tokens”.
For instance, XRP surged over 450% in just a month, overtaking Solana and Tether to become the third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap.
Other tokens like Cardano, Tron, and Hedera also saw significant gains, with some rising by 200–500%.
This sudden surge in interest is being driven by certain factors. First, the potential for regulatory clarity in the U.S. under the new administration, particularly the expected appointment of a pro-crypto SEC chair, has fueled investor optimism.
Many believe that Ripple may soon win the long-running legal battle with the SEC, which has made XRP a focal point.
Additionally, retail trading activity, especially from South Korean investors, has surged, fueling the momentum for dino tokens.
As more retail investors enter the market, they’re naturally gravitating toward familiar names like XRP, Tron, and Cardano, which they may have heard of or even held in the past.
Lastly, the broader market conditions, including regulatory shifts and the increasing focus on altcoins, are contributing to what analysts are calling an “altcoin season.”
These factors suggest that the dino token rally may only be beginning, and many anticipate even greater upside in 2025.
