Recently, discussions in the Crypto Assets market have once again focused on the slow pace of the bull run. In a late-night online discussion, investors analyzed the current market situation, particularly the relationship between Mainstream Tokens and alts.

Analysis indicates that the price fluctuations of alts are closely related to the trends of mainstream crypto assets, with several key factors behind this: Firstly, early investors hold a large amount of Bitcoin and Ethereum, having experienced multiple rounds of market adjustments and possessing strong financial power. Secondly, whether these investors have the ability and willingness to develop new altcoin projects is worth the market's attention. Finally, changes in the policy environment may have a significant impact on the capital flow of the entire crypto assets market.

Market observations indicate that while stablecoins remain flat, altcoins typically experience smaller fluctuations. However, the recently released CPI data has sparked a violent market reaction, with charts showing a rapid decline. This event highlights the significant gap between retail and institutional investors: many retail investors face liquidation risks, while well-capitalized institutional investors can withstand short-term declines and wait for a rebound before re-entering the market.

To gain a deeper understanding of market dynamics, we can roughly divide the crypto assets market into two categories: mainstream tokens and alts. Mainstream tokens like Bitcoin ( BTC ) and Ethereum ( ETH ) have large market capitalizations and high liquidity, and are widely accepted. Alts include coins like Litecoin ( LTC ) and Nxt ( NXT ), which have smaller market capitalizations, strong innovation but higher risks.

By analyzing these representative coins, we can better grasp the pulse of the market and understand the complexity of the bull run development. In the current market environment, investors need to closely monitor the trends of Mainstream Tokens while cautiously assessing the potential opportunities and risks of alts. The future development of the market will depend on multiple factors, including technological innovation, regulatory environment, and global economic conditions.
