Altcoins Go Berserk as Crypto Market Surges Past $3.87T – Bull Run Accelerates
Crypto just flexed its muscles again—total market cap smashes through $3.87 trillion as altcoins steal the show. Traders are piling into everything not named Bitcoin, and even Wall Street’s pet goldbugs are sweating.
### The Altcoin Domination Playbook
While BTC chugs along like a reliable old truck, altcoins are drag-racing. Ethereum’s DeFi ecosystem? Pumping. Solana’s NFT scene? On fire. Even meme coins—yes, those—are posting triple-digit gains. The ‘dumb money’ is now ‘smart money’… until it isn’t.
### The Institutional FOMO Factor
Hedge funds that mocked crypto last year are now quietly allocating 5% to ‘hedge against fiat.’ How’s that for irony? Meanwhile, retail traders are leveraging up like it’s 2021—because nothing teaches risk management like a 50% overnight drawdown.
### The Cynic’s Corner
Let’s be real—half these altcoins will crater when the Fed flips the liquidity switch off. But until then? Enjoy the circus. Just remember: in crypto, ‘fundamentals’ is code for ‘hopium.’
