Bitcoin’s dominance is cooling off and liquidity is rotating into altcoins—which pushed traders to look for the next big opportunity. Many analysts believe that we can expect a massive altcoin surge after the current dip ends.
Some of the projects that could benefit from Bitcoin’s weakening dominance are StratoVM ($SVM), Ripple (XRP), and Dogecoin (DOGE).
StratoVM could even get the sentiment back to Bitcoin as it acts as a layer-2 network for BTC. The project has the potential to improve Bitcoin’s speed, scalability, and overall utility—which could in turn improve BTCs market dominance.
Let’s take a better look at these projects:
StratoVM ($SVM): The Layer-2 Solution That Could Bring DeFi, AI, and Smart Contracts to Bitcoin
Bitcoin is the most valuable cryptocurrency in the world, but let’s be real—it hasn’t evolved much beyond being “digital gold.” Unlike Ethereum or Solana, which support smart contracts, DeFi apps, and NFTs, Bitcoin has mostly been stuck in its original role as a store of value.
That might be about to change. StratoVM ($SVM), a new Layer-2 solution, could bring faster transactions, better scalability, and actual utility to Bitcoin.
Over the last month, SVM’s price grew by 13,1691%, hitting $0.3817 per CoinGecko.

At the moment, StratoVM’s market cap sits at $32 million—a fraction of CoreDAO’s $990 million valuation. That suggests there’s still plenty of room for growth if adoption continues to rise.
Just a year ago, Bitcoin DeFi had only $307 million in total value locked (TVL)—now, that number has surged to $5.85 billion, according to DeFiLlama.
And it’s not just hype. StratoVM is already trading on Uniswap, and rumors are swirling about a potential listing on a major centralized exchange (CEX). Its testnet growth has also been impressive, with 113,000 wallets created and over 56,000 daily transactions.
If StratoVM delivers on its promise, Bitcoin could go from being just “digital gold” to something much bigger—a true DeFi powerhouse capable of smart contracts, AI applications, and more.
Ripple (XRP): A Fast and Scalable Altcoin That Could Get ETF Approval in 2025
XRP made headlines recently when it was mentioned in Donald Trump’s proposed U.S. Crypto Strategic Reserve. At first, this sent prices higher as traders speculated on what it could mean for Ripple’s long-term role in the financial system.
But once it became clear that the reserve would mostly hold seized assets, the hype cooled off fast.
Meanwhile, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has been keeping XRP in the spotlight, actively pushing for clearer crypto regulations in the U.S.
He’s been in and out of Washington, meeting with policymakers, trying to position Ripple as a key player in the digital payments space. While that’s brought some legitimacy to the project, there’s still plenty of debate over how much real-world adoption XRP is actually seeing.
On the technical side, analysts are watching XRP’s price closely. One trader, Charting Guy, thinks XRP might drop to around $2.27, with a possible retest at $1.95 – $2, and in a worst-case scenario, $1.60. He suggests using these levels to DCA in, since prices never move up in a straight line.
Dogecoin Price Prediction: Will DOGE ETFs Bring Another Major Rally?
The SEC recently acknowledged filings for Dogecoin and XRP spot ETFs, kicking off a review that could run until mid-October 2025. That’s got investors excited, with some Bloomberg analysts saying there’s a 75% chance DOGE gets an ETF approval before the year is over.
If that happens, it could be huge—letting regular investors buy DOGE through stock brokerages, which could bring in serious demand. Some even think DOGE could 10x if it grabs a slice of the money flowing into Bitcoin ETFs.
To top it off, Crypto Rover just tweeted a rumor that a DOGE ETF approval could happen this week, which might send the price to $1.
Final Words – Will These Altcoins Dominate After the Crypto Dip Ends
With Bitcoin cooling off, it’s looking like altcoin season might finally be here. StratoVM ($SVM) is making a strong case as a game-changing Layer-2 for Bitcoin, while XRP and DOGE are riding the wave of ETF speculation and regulatory buzz.
If SVM keeps growing, XRP gains more real-world adoption, and DOGE secures an ETF approval, we could see some serious buzz ahead.
Of course, nothing in crypto moves in a straight line, but the momentum is building. If this really is the start of the next big run, these altcoins might be the ones leading the charge.
