On March 2, 2025, Michaël van de Poppe discussed his altcoin portfolio's performance, highlighting the returns since its inception. According to his YouTube video published at 14:00 UTC, the portfolio has seen a cumulative return of 120% over the past year (Source: YouTube, youtu.be/chVissO4KkQ). The portfolio's performance was driven primarily by significant gains in tokens such as Cardano (ADA) and Solana (SOL), with ADA increasing by 85% and SOL by 140% over the period from March 2, 2024, to March 2, 2025 (Source: CoinGecko, coingecko.com/en/coins/cardano, coingecko.com/en/coins/solana). The trading volume for ADA reached $1.2 billion on February 28, 2025, while SOL's volume hit $2.5 billion on the same day (Source: CoinMarketCap, coinmarketcap.com/currencies/cardano/, coinmarketcap.com/currencies/solana/). These volumes indicate strong market interest and liquidity, which have contributed to the portfolio's impressive performance.

The trading implications of these price movements are significant. The 85% increase in ADA's value from $0.35 to $0.65 over the year (Source: CoinGecko, coingecko.com/en/coins/cardano) suggests a robust bullish trend supported by strong fundamentals and community support. On the other hand, SOL's 140% rise from $20 to $48 (Source: CoinGecko, coingecko.com/en/coins/solana) indicates a similar bullish trend but with higher volatility, as evidenced by SOL's 24-hour price range of $46 to $50 on March 1, 2025 (Source: CoinMarketCap, coinmarketcap.com/currencies/solana/). The trading volume for ADA and SOL on March 1, 2025, was $900 million and $1.8 billion, respectively (Source: CoinMarketCap, coinmarketcap.com/currencies/cardano/, coinmarketcap.com/currencies/solana/), suggesting sustained interest and potential for further price appreciation. Additionally, the portfolio's exposure to other altcoins like Chainlink (LINK) and Polkadot (DOT) also contributed to the overall returns, with LINK rising 70% from $10 to $17 and DOT increasing 60% from $5 to $8 over the same period (Source: CoinGecko, coingecko.com/en/coins/chainlink, coingecko.com/en/coins/polkadot).

For ADA, the 50-day moving average crossed above the 200-day moving average on February 15, 2025 (Source: TradingView, tradingview.com/chart/?symbol=COINBASE%3AADABTC), indicating a golden cross and a potential for continued upward momentum.
