Another driver could be the growth of the crypto ETF industry, currently at $190 billion in assets. The US government’s strategic Bitcoin reserve plan and corporate treasury allocations could also impact market sentiment.

While institutional capital leads this cycle, retail-driven FOMO fuels parabolic growth. Altcoin sector narratives and meme coin market capitalization also play a role in market dynamics.
