Honestly, I wanna ask all my fellow traders: is crypto trading becoming more passive?

Ever since US stocks like Token and RWA took off, the whole market's been getting pulled around by them.
We used to have our own cycles and hot trends, no need to watch other people's moves. Now, all the liquidity and sentiment are tied to the past, and it feels like we're just a side show.

When US stocks are bullish, they suck up our liquidity, and the market can't catch a break;
When US stocks dive, the risk sentiment spreads, and we end up taking a bigger hit.
Not much profit when prices go up, but we all suffer when they crash.

Is there still hope for the crypto space?
