in conclusion
Even for the top ten popular rune projects, the trading volume is not high, and only the RSIC official project has a market value of over 100 million US dollars. Once liquidity is lost, there will be a problem of being unable to exit. On the other hand, due to character restrictions, it is difficult for longer names to have differentiated characteristics. Unlike the inscriptions that have run out of the zoo concept, the market has chosen long-term operating projects and words related to community culture, which may serve as the basis for subsequent decisions.
