The crypto market is witnessing a significant shift in capital as Ethereum (ETH) begins to show signs of outperforming Bitcoin (BTC) for the first time this quarter.

Key Market Updates:

Global Macro Outlook:
Markets are staying cautious due to ongoing U.S.-Iranian tensions and the temporary closure of the Strait of Hormuz. While these geopolitical events usually push investors toward "Digital Gold" (Bitcoin), the massive institutional demand for Ethereum ETFs is creating a rare divergence in price action.

Are we finally seeing an 'Altseason' starting with ETH, or is BTC still king in 2026?
