The Hivemind

Alt Season is Already Here

This week on Hivemind, the team breaks down the growing altcoin rally, why risk appetite is returning on-chain, and whether the current market can keep running without Bitcoin making a major move higher. They discuss the continued strength in HYPE, Zcash, Lighter and other winners, why this is becoming an alt-picker’s market, and how tokenized stocks are creating an entirely new speculative playground across Robinhood Chain and Solana. The conversation also covers FOMO and the rise of crypto-native social trading, the dangers of chasing increasingly speculative on-chain trades, whether ETH can benefit from the tokenization wave, and why taking profits may be the most important skill for surviving multiple crypto cycles.

Everyone is Sleeping on the Next On-Chain Boom

This week on the Hivemind, the team debates whether the market is on the cusp of a new on-chain boom or whether the lack of a major wealth-creation event in Bitcoin, ETH, or SOL will keep the upside limited.
