🚀 Crypto Titans Surge: Bitcoin Breaks $100K, Ethereum & Solana Smash Records

Digital assets explode as institutional money floods the market

Bitcoin's Historic Rally

BTC rockets past the psychological $100,000 barrier—up 15% in 24 hours as Wall Street finally catches up to what crypto natives knew years ago.

Ethereum's Defi Dominance

ETH surges 12% while Solana blasts 25% higher, proving Layer 1 competition remains fierce despite what the maximalists claim.

The Altcoin Avalanche

From Cardano to Polkadot, the entire ecosystem rides the wave while traditional finance executives scramble to understand the technology they once dismissed as a 'fraud.'

Meanwhile, your bank still pays 0.01% interest—if you're lucky.
