Crypto Market and Retail Engagement

The retail engagement in the current crypto cycle appears limited, with retail not fully joining yet. The absence of a breakout killer app like DeFi or NFTs in previous cycles raises concerns about the current cycle's novelty and appeal. A prevalent cynicism hints that crypto may just be a speculative casino and falls short of revolutionary transformation. This skepticism, alongside the perception of crypto as slow to deliver on its promises after years, dampens bullish sentiments.
