Move over, Bitcoin—altcoins are stealing the spotlight in a blistering crypto rally. Retail and institutional money is flooding into ETH, SOL, and other alt tokens as traders chase the next 100x moonshot.

Market psychology flipped from 'wait-and-see' to 'ape-in' overnight. Trading volumes suggest this isn't just another dead-cat bounce—though the usual suspects are already warning about overleveraged degens.

Meanwhile, Wall Street banks are suddenly 're-evaluating their crypto strategy' (read: scrambling to buy the dip they missed). The irony? Most still can't tell a smart contract from a Starbucks loyalty program.
