Ansem: This cycle will place greater emphasis on altcoin fundamentals, rather than simply following the trends of BTC and ETH.

On October 18, crypto trader Ansem stated that the investment approach to altcoins in this cycle differs from previous ones, with assets such as HYPE and ZEC having demonstrated performance independent of Bitcoin and Ethereum even during periods of overall market weakness.

Ansem further noted that the crypto market is gradually shifting toward a stage that places greater emphasis on individual project fundamentals, capital inflows, and actual business performance. Therefore, identifying mispriced assets and determining which teams are truly driving project development will become increasingly important, rather than relying entirely on the price trends of mainstream assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
