- XRP’s market cap now tops McDonald’s after a strong rally to $3.61.
- Bitcoin’s dominance dropped to 60% as ETH’s market share rose past 11%.
- QCP Capital says altseason may already be underway, with indicators at multi-month highs.
Looks like altseason’s officially serving up some Big Wins. XRP just did something wild—it leapfrogged McDonald’s in market cap. Yep, the golden arches. That’s how strong the altcoin surge is right now, and crypto Twitter is all over it.
Altcoins have been quietly stealing the spotlight while TradFi markets settle back in. The latest example? XRP pushing past $3.60 and outpacing one of the biggest brands in the world. Talk about flipping burgers and expectations.
Trading desk QCP Capital chimed in, asking what’s on everyone’s mind: “Is altcoin season finally upon us?” Their latest market update pointed out that altseason indicators across multiple data sources have crossed the 50 threshold—highest since last December.
They also flagged a shifting power dynamic between the majors. Bitcoin dominance is slipping—down from 64% to 60% just this past week—as BTC struggles to break above $121,000. Meanwhile, Ethereum’s share of the market jumped from 9.7% to 11.6%.
“If this holds,” QCP noted, “we could already be in the early stages of the next big altcoin wave.”

So, whether you’re holding XRP, stacking ETH, or just waiting for your sleeper pick to moon—things are heating up fast in altcoin land. And honestly? This might just be the beginning.
