Bitcoin’s (BTC) recent surge to a record $73,750, followed by a pullback to $61,000, has set the stage for what many in the cryptocurrency sector believe could be the onset of an altcoin season. This anticipated phase is expected to boost altcoins to new heights, outpacing Bitcoin with significant gains.
With meme coins and AI-themed cryptocurrencies outperforming Bitcoin recently, industry experts are debating whether the altcoin rally has already begun.

This would mark a dramatic increase from the current market cap of approximately $2.7 trillion, underscoring a bullish scenario for altcoins.
