Day 2 — Why Retail Is Quiet in 2026
Retail isn’t gone.
Retail is tired.
NOT and DOGS pulled in users who had never touched crypto before — and many of them got burned fast.
No surprise participation slowed.
Without a strong catalyst:
• fresh liquidity
• real yield
• or a new narrative
2026 could feel slow.
That doesn’t mean dead.
It means selective.
The next winners won’t scream.
They’ll compound quietly.
