Grayscale has analysed that altcoin prices have recently entered a range where buying could become more attractive.
A blockchain outlet, The Crypto Basic, reported on April 3 that Grayscale cited Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Chainlink (LINK), Sui and Avalanche (AVAX) as examples.
In its latest market report, Grayscale said it is not easy to judge the right timing to invest, but some major altcoins have entered more favourable price ranges during the bear market that has continued since the fourth quarter of 2025. It also noted that global economic uncertainty is persisting due to war-related tensions.
It also pointed to a gap in recent performance versus traditional markets. The S&P 500 fell about 5 percent in March, but the Grayscale Crypto Sectors Index rose about 4 percent. Grayscale viewed this as a stabilising trend after crypto assets moved through an oversold zone.
The total cryptocurrency market capitalisation index (TOTAL) rose $25.93 billion on a weekly basis after a recent decline to $2.29 trillion. The altcoin market capitalisation index (TOTAL2) also rose $6.26 billion over the same period. On the weekly chart for TOTAL, the red bars in the MACD histogram began to shrink.
Altcoins, however, are still far below their previous highs. Since the launch of crypto exchange-traded products in January 2024, Grayscale's altcoin basket has fallen about 59 percent from its peak, while the rebound from its low has been only about 2 percent. Current prices are near the lower end of the past three-year range. Grayscale said volatility could continue and it cannot confirm the market has bottomed.
CryptoQuant data showed more than 40 percent of altcoins traded near all-time lows. Bitcoin was relatively stable, but major altcoins such as Cardano (ADA), XRP and Solana remained far below their previous highs. ADA fell as much as 92 percent.
Michaël van de Poppe (미카엘 반 데 포페) said he currently keeps 50 percent of his portfolio in artificial intelligence-related altcoins and continues to buy in instalments each month.
