A popular analyst believes Ethereum (ETH) will continue to have a strong presence in the crypto market. Despite Ethereum being often criticized for not being as decentralized as Bitcoin (BTC) or as user-focused as other blockchains like Solana, Arnold sees its future as promising.&nbsp;   
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62Q4ITO71lA&amp;t=1620s">In an interview with David Lin</a>, Aaron Arnold, co-host of Altcoin Daily, points out that Ethereum has carved out value in sectors like decentralized finance (DeFi) and the stablecoin market. Ethereum's broad ecosystem and adoption in DeFi protocols are expected to help keep it relevant.   
Is Altcoin Season Upon Us?   
As for the altcoin market, Arnold thinks it’s not quite "altcoin season" yet, but we’re getting close. One indicator for altcoin season is when Bitcoin reaches new all-time highs and breaks out. With Bitcoin pushing toward $100K, Arnold believes the market is approaching a critical point. A shift in investor behavior, combined with new retail investors entering the market, could trigger the altcoin season, which historically lasts anywhere from three to six months.   
Retail Investors' Hesitation   
However, Arnold said that retail investors aren’t yet diving into the market as they did during the peak of 2021. Many people may be hesitant after experiencing losses in previous cycles. But Arnold suggests that we are nearing the point where retail interest will pick up, as Bitcoin nears its all-time highs.&nbsp;   
Which Altcoin Sectors Are Poised for Growth?   
Arnold also discussed the growing sectors within the altcoin space. Unlike earlier cycles, where Bitcoin and Litecoin were dominant, today’s crypto market is more diverse. Gaming, DeFi, privacy projects, and even meme coins are now significant players. Among these, Arnold sees Bitcoin’s ecosystem growing stronger, especially with Layer 2 solutions, which bring additional use cases to Bitcoin. Gaming and meme coins are also expected to see major growth.
