Ansem: This crypto cycle may see the largest retail participation in history, with infrastructure and narratives ready

Odaily Planet Daily News Ansem posted on platform X, stating that the current market is still in a stage of high growth potential, with Bitcoin (BTC) and Solana (SOL) having significant room before reaching their all-time highs. SOL is down about 75% from its all-time high, while BTC is down about 50% from its peak. Compared to previous cycles, this cycle boasts more mature user experiences and infrastructure, including improved mobile trading interfaces, lower barriers to wallet access, and enhanced cross-chain capabilities, making it easier for new users without prior crypto experience to enter the market.

Ansem noted that an increasing number of high-quality developers are aligning interests through a "token + equity" model, providing investors with richer exposure to various industry sectors. Meanwhile, institutional interest in Real World Assets (RWA), the regulatory framework surrounding the U.S. CLARITY Act, and the entry of major tech-finance companies like Stripe and Robinhood into the crypto space are all bolstering market confidence. The wealth effect generated by AI stocks in recent years, coupled with the wealth-creation stories of Meme coins from past crypto cycles, is reinforcing the market's perception of high-yield trading opportunities. While some Meme coins previously grew from zero to tens of billions of dollars in market cap, the current circulating market cap of popular Meme projects like $ANSEM remains below $100 million, attracting speculative capital.

This cycle simultaneously possesses two types of market drivers: institutional narratives and high-risk speculative opportunities. On one hand, mature financial applications like perpetual contracts and RWA will attract more professional capital; on the other hand, trading in Meme coins and low-market-cap tokens will continue to attract significant retail participation.

Ansem stated that as more teams launch user-friendly mobile crypto applications, lowering the barrier to entry, this cycle may become the one with the largest scale of retail participation in crypto history.
