As the broader altcoin season remains muted , selective interest is forming around tokens with utility, governance, and active upgrade paths. Traders are watching Tezos, Uniswap, and Aave for signs of an emerging rotation. Tezos Gains 5% in 24 Hours Tezos (X TZ) is currently trading near $0.89 . The network has doubled in value since early June, consistently bouncing between $0.60 and $1.40. Recent technical data suggest that Tezos sits firmly above key support, even after a small pullback. Tech upgrades are occurring in parallel. The Tezos-based Etherlink Layer-2 is gaining traction for tokenized asset custody, specifically for a uranium-backed token (xU3O8). This buildout may support deeper real-world asset utility. Uniswap Shows Bullish Signs Uniswap (UNI) is trading at $11.32, up roughly 18% in the past week, with intraday trading volume near $1 billion. Whale activity is driving momentum. The token recently strengthened its legal footing by proposing a structure for DAO governance under Wyoming law. Uniswap Price (Source: CoinMarketCap) The protocol’s v4 release adds support for hooks and a singleton pool structure—this lowers development friction and keeps liquidity concentrated. That design edge, paired with ongoing governance engagement, continues to attract attention without hype. AAVE Soars Above the $300 Level Aave (AAVE) is trading near $313 , with its market cap around $4.7 billion and daily volume above $550 million. The token carries its own risk, money-market utility, and figures in real-time developments. The “Stablecoin Summer” event introduced syrupUSD products, which may boost yield strategies and user interest. Earlier in the year, Aave’s founder suggested the protocol could hit $100 billion in net deposits. That narrative continues to reinforce the protocol’s relevance in a cautious altseason. Why They Matter in This Selective Altcoin Season Tezos offers upgrade certainty and real-world integrations—not speculative hype. Uniswap is a dependable trading hub with active governance and legal structuring underway. Aave remains central to DeFi credit systems, with sticky demand tied to staking and yield models. In an altcoin season that’s yet to fully form, these tokens show where capital may rotate: toward assets with ecosystem stability, visible growth, and structural updates. If sentiment gradually shifts, interest may first show up in volume, governance discussion, and layer-1 activity—before wider market moves follow. On-chain activity for all three tokens has outpaced price growth in recent weeks, suggesting accumulation phases rather than short-term speculation. For example, Tezos wallet activity has risen 14% month-over-month, while UNI’s number of unique liquidity providers has increased by 9% in the past two weeks. Aave’s lending pool deposits are up 6% in the same period, showing users are keeping capital locked rather than exiting positions. Trading volume patterns indicate that gains are being driven by consistent participation rather than single-session spikes. UNI’s 24-hour volume-to-market-cap ratio sits above 8, indicating active turnover, while Aave’s ratio remains near 12%—levels often associated with sustained liquidity during an altseason phase. Bitcoin dominance remains around 60% , leaving room for altcoins to gain share . If dominance drops toward the mid-50s while volumes for tokens like Tezos, Uniswap, and Aave remain steady or increase, the conditions for a broader altcoin season could form quickly. For now, the rotation remains selective, but measurable data points are building in its favor.
