Bitcoin dominance is falling. Ethereum is rallying. Altcoins are exploding. Today on The Breakdown, NLW asks: is this the start of a new leg up in the bull market—or the beginning of the end? From surging ETH ETF inflows and treasury company buy pressure to warning signs of froth and echoes of 2021, this episode examines the competing narratives shaping the current moment. NLW unpacks the shifting risk spectrum, the legitimization of crypto through stablecoin legislation, and whether the explosion of altcoin treasury companies signals sustainable innovation—or just the next leverage bubble.

Nach Monaten der Bitcoin-Dominanz scheint der Bann mit Blick auf Ethereum gebrochen. Der Prügelknabe der Blockchain-Believer kennt plötzlich nur noch eine Richtung: ganz steil nach oben. Woher der Turnaround kommt, welche Rolle der Genius Act dabei spielt – und ob das Ganze der Startschuss für eine neue Altcoin-Season ist – diskutieren Julius Nagel und Florian Adomeit in dieser Folge von Alles Coin, Nichts Muss. Doch auch wenn Krypto aktuell kein Halten kennt, hat uns die Vergangenheit vor allem eines gelehrt: Alles hat ein Ende – und auch diese Welle dürfte irgendwann brechen. Wann also aussteigen und Gewinne mitnehmen? Julius hat dazu eine überraschende Meinung, die ihr ebenfalls im Podcast hört. Abseits davon stellt Coinbase eine eierlegende Wollmilchsau vor, das US-Justizministerium lässt Polymarket vom Haken, Julius is still in love with DePIN – und Flo verliert Geld in einem Markt, in dem das eigentlich unmöglich ist.
