Crypto analysts have observed a major shift in investor sentiment over the past few weeks, suggesting a more knowledgeable investor base, even among retailers.
This market, previously dominated by speculative memecoin, is increasingly focusing on high-tech Altcoin projects with real-world utilities and new blockchain solutions.
Investor profits will move to RWA and Defi
Insights from Web3 Information Platform Kaito AI and Crypto analysts suggest that investors’ mindshares are increasing Shifting towards real world assets (RWAS), Decentralized Finance (DEFI), and Advanced Blockchain Protocols.
According to Kaito AI, RWA MindShare surged after hitting a 12-month low in January. This revival shows a renewed interest in tokenizing real-world financial assets that attracted institutional players.
Similarly, Defi has regained excellence and has surpassed AI tokens with market interests. The revival of Defi suggests a shift towards a more sustainable financial mechanism, in contrast to the speculative nature of memecoin.
Several blockchain projects have emerged as major beneficiaries of this emotional shift. Bellachine (Bella) and Meggers (Wes) gained traction. Kaito AI’s analysis highlights these as the best Mindshare Gainers.
However, for Bellachin, social domination or consumer awareness can be attributed to recent airdrops and subsequent lists on binance and Bitlou. In a statement shared with Beincrypto, Bitrue has committed to supporting Berachain developers. This is a blockchain that introduces its own Proof of Cleansing (POL) consensus mechanism, considered to be superior to Shoof-of-stake (POS).
“To celebrate this milestone, BitRue is rolling out two special events for Exchange users. First, the Power Piggy list: Bera is now available for Bitrue’s flexible investment product, Power Piggy. Secondly, Deposit Contest: Users who deposit Bera on Bitrue can earn rewards based on the amount of their deposit,” Bitrue told Beincrypto.
But despite the excitement, the price of the Bellachin token looks at downward pressure from post-air sales, indicating that speculative dynamics are still working.
Beyond Bellachin, Megaeth, Initia and Monad are attracting market attention. These projects focus on technological advances in scalability, defi, and blockchain efficiency. Defi expert Ignas said this new enthusiasm mirrors the early cycle of 2020/21. The project with substantial technical innovations subsequently won significant hype.
“The technologically innovative launches are once again hyped. It’s not just your degenerate monkeys blindly wrapped in meme coins or boiling down new celebrity coins. Your analysis and research “You can make your skills move again,” Ignas writes.
Rather than unquestioning short-lived trends, investors are now digging deeper into protocol mechanisms, agricultural strategies and long-term sustainability.
Meme coins lose ground as investors seek the foundation
Within the changing focus of investors, the market capitalization of meme coins has declined, bringing attention to projects of technical value. Previously, speculative enthusiasm around memecoin would drive short-term gatherings. Now, their lack of fundamental innovation is diminishing investor confidence.
Crypto executive Tarun Gupta acknowledges cultural change. He cites the true growth and innovation of protocols such as Fluid, Balancer V3, Uniswap, and Ondo Finance.
This maturation of the crypto market shows that investors are beginning to prioritize real-world applications and financial sustainability over short-term speculative trading. Consistent with recent insights from GlassNode, this shift is not a coincidence but a reflection of a more refined investor base.
Today, retail owners have a deeper understanding of blockchain technology and market change than in previous market cycles. Rather than chasing meme coins for quick profits, investors are doing detailed research into emerging protocols. We are also working on projects through governance and community building initiatives.
Furthermore, industry observers like Ignas have emphasized that projects that reward community involvement such as Megaeth and Berachain are gaining momentum. On the other hand, meme coin traders are often excluded from such incentives.
“Is it just me? We’ve always learned some lessons about how to reward our community. Both Bella and Megaes reward community members who have increased their value. Early via testnet It is beneficial to support the project at stages or simply yapping with X. Notice how meme coin traders didn’t get into the whitelist/airdrop. Also, those who burned badly in Altcoins are, I feel like I’m selling what’s already left behind in Stablecoins or consolidating it into the coins they really believe in,” Ignas added.
Despite these positive developments, the shift towards technologically innovative altcoins does not guarantee sustainable market stability. While many investors are heading towards high-tech projects, the crypto market remains volatile and emotionally driven. The market can always return to memecoin speculation, especially when broader macroeconomic conditions are unfavorable.
Furthermore, while Defi and RWA tokenization have gained traction, regulatory, security and scalability challenges remain. Investors should conduct research.
