Crypto expert Michaël van de Poppe, CEO and founder of MN Trading is urging investors to seize the current opportunity and dive into the world of Altcoins. Despite a sluggish performance throughout 2023 and most of 2022, Altcoins are now on an upward trajectory, prompting Van de Poppe to declare that the prime time for Altcoin investment is now.
Analyzing recent market trends, Van de Poppe points out the significant momentum in the Injective and Solana ecosystems, boosted by a series of airdrops. While the AI segment is flourishing, with Celestia experiencing a surge, the broader market is still in anticipation of Ethereum taking the lead.
The Ethereum takeover is predicted to happen in the first quarter of 2024 or possibly even from the end of December onwards. Van de Poppe offers several compelling reasons for this forecast. Firstly, the period 3-8 months prior to the Halving event marks a critical juncture where Altcoins are historically undervalued, presenting an ideal investment window.

Moreover, the imminent approval of the Spot ETF on Bitcoin is expected to redirect market flows toward other cryptocurrencies, with Ethereum poised to be the primary beneficiary. Ethereum is also competing for its own Spot ETF, promising additional momentum.
Seasonality plays a crucial role in Van de Poppe’s analysis, with the first quarter historically proving to be a favorable period for Altcoin investments. The end of the year witnessed in recent weeks triggers portfolio rebalancing among investment funds and corporations, setting the stage for increased market activity in the new year.
For investors pondering their next move, Van de Poppe advises caution and strategic planning. He suggests steering clear of projects that have experienced recent surges unless there are fundamental changes. Instead, he advocates for a patient approach, focusing on projects that have been consolidated in previous periods.
Nevertheless, Van de Poppe encourages investors to capitalize on the current market dynamics, emphasizing the significance of buying the dips in Altcoins and allocating funds judiciously.
