Ansem: This Crypto Cycle May See the Largest Retail Participation in History, Infrastructure and Narrative Are Ready

Odaily reported that Ansem posted on platform X, stating that the current market is still in a stage of relatively high growth potential. Bitcoin (BTC) and Solana (SOL) still have significant room for growth from their all-time highs, with SOL down approximately 75% from its peak and BTC down roughly 50%. Compared to previous cycles, this one already boasts more mature user experiences and infrastructure, including improved mobile trading experiences, lower-barrier wallet integration, and enhanced cross-chain capabilities, making it easier for new users without prior crypto experience to enter the market.

Ansem pointed out that an increasing number of high-quality developers are aligning their interests with investors through a "token + equity" model, providing investors with broader 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 boosting market confidence. The wealth effect generated by AI stocks in recent years, along with the fortune-creating cases of Meme coins in past crypto cycles, is reinforcing the market's recognition of high-yield trading opportunities. Previously, some Meme coins went from zero to a market cap of tens of billions of dollars, while the circulating market cap of currently popular Meme projects like $ANSEM remains below $100 million, attracting speculative capital.

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

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