Santiment: Cryptocurrency community market participation interest is rebounding, focusing on the three major sectors of Meme coins, RWA, and ETFs

Coin World reported that on January 8, crypto sentiment analysis platform Santiment stated that market participation interest in the crypto community is rising, concentrated in the following areas: Meme tokens: Tokens like PEPE, POPCAT, and MOG have experienced strong price surges, with speculative rallies driving significant increases in Meme coin sector market capitalization, attracting trader attention once again after a challenging 2025. Even established Meme coins such as DOGE, PEPE, and SHIB are seeing gains driven by renewed retail participation, indicating that community-driven hype cycles still have the power to move markets despite previous bearish sentiment. Real-World Assets (RWA): Blockchain platforms like Solana reported tokenized real-world assets reaching all-time highs, making RWA a popular narrative for institutional liquidity and diversified crypto investments. Crypto investors are also exploring RWA tokens from projects like Ondo and Clearpool, with the potential of on-chain bonds, real estate, and other traditional assets attracting traders seeking alternatives beyond pure speculation. ETFs: Major institutions submitted new product applications, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana ETFs proposed by Morgan Stanley, with large banks taking regulated cryptocurrency investments seriously. Structured investment vehicles are able to attract institutional capital and influence market trends.
