Altcoin season may finally upon us — but it’s not the altseason you remember. Wall Street money and infinite memecoins have changed the game. Theres probably nothing more reliable in crypto than traders yelling ALTSEASON IS HERE every time Bitcoin stumbles against altcoins.  Heck, theyve been saying it religiously since mid-2024, and theyre starting to do it again now after Bitcoin dominance fell under 60% over the weekend, its lowest level since February.  Except this time, they may be onto something; ETH is within sight of new all-time highs, and other altcoins are looking ready to pounce.
