Bitcoin is back — but the market is still waiting for a true altcoin season. So are 100X returns gone, or has the altcoin cycle simply changed? In this episode of Trade Secrets, Ciaran sits down with Alice Liu, Head of Research at CoinMarketCap, to discuss whether Bitcoin’s $58K low marked the bottom, what could trigger the next altcoin rotation and why opportunities are moving faster than ever. Alice breaks down the outlook for Hyperliquid and HYPE, the staying power of real-world assets, the return of meme coins and why some AI tokens may never recover. She also explains where she would invest $10,000 today — and whether Bitcoin can reach $500,000 or even $1 million by 2030. 00:00 Are 100X altcoins still possible? 00:27 Meet Alice Liu 00:44 Has the crypto market finally turned? 03:04 Is Bitcoin’s bottom already in? 04:22 Could Bitcoin fall back to $40K? 05:13 What will trigger altcoin season? 08:38 Can HYPE still deliver massive gains? 11:57 Is tokenized RWA more than a narrative? 13:44 Where the next 100X tokens are hiding 15:13 Could the CLARITY Act move crypto? 16:45 Which crypto sectors could go to zero? 18:31 Why some AI tokens may never recover 20:09 Bitcoin, altcoins or AI stocks: Where to put $10K? 22:33 Bitcoin to $1 million by 2030? 23:50 Could Bitcoin be cheaper in 2030?
