We are firmly in a Bitcoin Dominance Season (60.4%). This is driven by the "Nation-State Front-Running" narrative.
-
The Driver: With the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Brazil's RESBit initiative, sovereign entities are now the primary "Whales."

The Shift: Liquidity is moving away from "AI-themed coins" and into "Compute Utility" projects like Bittensor (TAO) and Render, which provide the hardware backbone for these agents.
