Bitcoin is back — but the market is still waiting for a true altcoin season. So are 100X returns gone, or has the altcoin cycle simply changed?
In this episode of Trade Secrets, Ciaran sits down with Alice Liu, Head of Research at CoinMarketCap, to discuss whether Bitcoin’s $58K low marked the bottom, what could trigger the next altcoin rotation and why opportunities are moving faster than ever.
Alice breaks down the outlook for Hyperliquid and HYPE, the staying power of real-world assets, the return of meme coins and why some AI tokens may never recover. She also explains where she would invest $10,000 today — and whether Bitcoin can reach $500,000 or even $1 million by 2030.
