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

BlockBeats News, January 8 — The crypto sentiment analysis platform Santiment reports that market participation interest in the crypto community is on the rise, focusing on the following areas:

Meme Tokens: Tokens like PEPE, POPCAT, and MOG have experienced strong price surges, with speculative rebounds driving a significant increase in the market capitalization of the Meme coin sector. After a tough 2025, it has once again attracted traders’ attention. Even well-known Meme coins such as DOGE, PEPE, and SHIB are seeing gains driven by retail participation, indicating that community-driven hype cycles can still propel the market despite previous bearish sentiment.

Real-World Assets (RWA): Blockchain platforms like Solana have reported record highs in tokenized real-world assets, 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. On-chain bonds, real estate, and other traditional assets have attracted traders seeking purely speculative alternatives.

ETFs: Major institutions have submitted new product applications, including Morgan Stanley’s proposed Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana ETFs. Large banks are taking regulated crypto investments seriously. Structured investment tools can attract institutional capital and influence market trends.
