Story Highlights

  • Legendary crypto trader Michael van de Poppe predicts altcoins could deliver 200% to 500% gains soon.

  • Ethereum’s rise sparks renewed trader optimism, often driving stronger altcoin market momentum forward.

  • Meanwhile, Poppe noted that popular altcoins like $XRP, Solana, and Dogecoin see 4%–15% daily price gains.

The crypto market has been moving up and down lately, leaving many traders unsure of what’s next. But legendary trader Michael van de Poppe isn’t holding back, he’s going all-in on altcoins. While some investors are still playing it safe after the altcoin season index dropped below 40, he believes the next few months could bring huge gains, anywhere from 200% to 500%.

Why He’s Going All-In

Van de Poppe believes the altcoin market is far from its peak. According to him, a large number of altcoins still haven’t reached the price levels they saw earlier in 2025. But for long-term traders, this gap isn’t a red flag, it’s an opportunity to accumulate altcoin at a discounted price.

Therefore, he thinks that the next two to four months could bring gains of 200% to 500% for certain altcoins, a bold prediction that’s catching attention in the crypto space.

I remain all-in into #Altcoins as I think that there's 200-500% to be made in the next 2-4 months.

A lot of #Altcoins haven't really gotten back to their levels from early '25.

Of course, some aren't going to be showing momentum, but the recent move of $ETH is the first step…

One of the key reasons for his optimism is Ethereum’s recent price action. $ETH’s upward move often sparks a “risk-on” wave in the market, where traders are more willing to put money into smaller, more volatile assets.

For van de Poppe, this is the first step toward an altcoin surge.

Altcoin Trading Activity Soars On Exchanges

According to CryptoQuant analyst Maartum, activity in altcoins on major exchanges is picking up again. Binance, for example, has seen a sharp increase in deposits over the past week, with the 7-day transaction count crossing 45,000, the highest since late 2024.

Meanwhile, social media engagement around altcoins has cooled compared to last month. But van de Poppe notes that these quiet periods often come before strong breakouts

Not All Altcoins Will Rally

While van de Poppe’s outlook is optimistic, he warns that not every altcoin will benefit from the coming rally. Some projects lack momentum or investor interest, and these could lag.

At the moment, the altcoin season index is sitting at 37, far below last month’s high of above 55. A reading under 40 suggests Bitcoin is still dominating the crypto market.

Even so, several well-known altcoins have shown signs of life after days in the red. Ethereum, $XRP, Solana, Cardano, Sui, Dogecoin, and others have posted gains ranging from 4% to 15% in the past 24 hours.
