Altcoin Season Heating Up:
🔅Bitcoin’s rangebound price action ($95K - $98K) since Feb. 8 has redirected capital into altcoins
Why It Matters

As BTC remains in a tight range, BNB Chain’s ecosystem tokens are leading the charge, with CAKE and BNB seeing increased trading volume and investor interest, according to CoinDesk.
