Ive been around crypto for some time now about 5 years. And have always considered getting into the actual uses on DeFi. So ive held steth now for a while and some btc that I’m looking to make work for me on DeFi. I’m trying to take a loan out against my steth but I can’t really find any safe places to do so. I’ve looked at aave and morpho but I can only find wrapped Steth as collateral. If I was to go this route and use WSTETH, how would I convert my steth to wrapped? And would this be the ideal way to take a loan out? Also with Bitcoin, what way would be best to do this? Simply send btc to an exchange and take a loan out through coinbase or another?"

It visually reinforces the post's narrative of capital rotating into high-beta altcoins like HYPE and STETH, which are outpacing majors ETH (+16.85%) and BTC (+7.84%) amid the macro liquidity tailwinds mentioned.

> "Altcoin Roundup:

 Capital is selectively rotating into high-beta altcoins, with HYPE (+22.31%), STETH (+17.17%), and WETH (+16.91%) outpacing majors.  

 The rally is fueled by macro liquidity tailwinds (US Treasury debt buyback) and $71.5M daily inflows into US spot Ether"
