Challenges in Market Revival

When a project lacks market interest or perceived utility, market makers face significant challenges in reviving it. Despite their expertise, they can only provide the services outlined in contracts, without the ability to influence broader market perceptions. This underscores the importance of investor sentiment and market viability for the success of crypto projects. Without interest from the market, even the most competent market makers can struggle to generate traction.
