Crypto volume is dying. If you haven’t noticed it yet, you’re not paying enough attention. A lot of that volume is moving toward betting platforms, prediction markets, and fantasy platforms. Web3 loves speculation. that’s one of the reasons you love memecoins so much. But when you bet on a token, you don’t really hold the power. The project does. and when 99% of tokens eventually go to zero, people start looking for better ways to speculate. They just don’t want to do it through a token that goes to zero.
