Bitcoin dominance recently closed above 60.88%, breaking out of an eight-month range and signaling strong institutional interest. Meanwhile, Solana perpetual open interest surged 156% in 35 days, showing growing demand in decentralized perpetual exchanges (perp DEXs). Real-world asset tokenization also jumped from $5.5 billion to $29.2 billion in 16 months, reflecting sustained institutional capital flow. Analysts warn this sector rotation is happening quietly without a broad altcoin rally, focusing on key sectors like perp DEXs, real-world assets, and AI infrastructure rather than the wider altcoin market.
