My crypto people! Things are heating up in the market and altcoins are in celebration mode! 🥳 Solana (SOL) and Hyperliquid (HYPE) are the kings of the dance floor, leading an impressive rally that has investors wide-eyed. What's the reason? Institutions, those heavyweights of the financial world, have injected a whopping $1.9 billion into cryptocurrency funds! It's madness! 🤑

Imagine this: on Monday morning, while some were still sipping their coffee ☕, the major altcoins began to climb the ranks. Solana (SOL) surged 6.1%, trading at around $155.78. And Ethereum (ETH) didn't fall behind, rising 3.7% to settle at $2,611! 🚀

Experts are saying that Ethereum has become the market's 'pretty girl' again after being somewhat subdued for a couple of years. Now, with new updates and growing institutional interest, people are betting big on Ethereum-based platforms again. This is a game changer, folks!

But the party isn't just for the big players. XRP also joined the dance with a 4.6% increase, reaching $2.26, and Cardano (ADA) didn't fall behind, rising 2.8% to $0.64. It seems that the fear people had of ADA dropping out of the top 10 has vanished! 💨

Hyperliquid (HYPE): The King of Mid-Caps 👑

What’s making waves is Hyperliquid (HYPE)! This mid-cap gem surged 9.7%, reaching nearly $44. And here comes the most incredible part: HYPE surpassed Dogecoin (DOGE) in open interest for futures, with investors putting $2.06 billion in active bets on HYPE contracts! That's confidence in the 'dog'! 🐶

Is the Altcoin Season Coming? 🌻

The big question everyone is asking is: Is this the sign of a full-blown altcoin season or just a temporary flirtation? 🤔

Vadim Taszycki, a boss at StealthEX, believes that institutional interest is the main engine of this movement. He tells us that the $1.9 billion that flowed into crypto funds in recent days, according to data from Farside Investors, is a clear signal. Moreover, the fact that they are filing applications to launch spot Solana ETFs with staking capabilities is another hint that sentiment is changing.

Although institutional attention is good, it also generates some uncertainty, which could be delaying a full altcoin season for now. But don't be scared! Despite the scares from last Friday due to attacks in the Middle East that caused Bitcoin to drop 4%, the king of cryptos quickly recovered, reaching $106,724. This shows that the market sees these dips as buying opportunities! 🛍️

Marcin Kazmierczak, co-founder of RedStone, is convinced that this altcoin rally is driven by Bitcoin's advance beyond $100,000, along with strong ETF inflows and technical breakouts. And a curious fact: the supply of stablecoins in the hands of whales (over $5 million) has increased by 5% in the last 30 days, indicating they are ready to throw in more cash! 💰

So, my friends, things are looking good. Kazmierczak even dares to predict a significant increase in altcoins between September and December, based on historical patterns. So, stay alert, the crypto party has just begun! 🎉$SOL $HYPE
