this cycle isnโt like any other cycle
the closest comparison i see is the 2020 DeFi expansion, when an entirely new vertical brought billions of dollars onchain
this time, stablecoins and especially tokenized stocks are opening another new lane for crypto
institutional capital, retail and developers are all entering through different channels, while the market structure itself has played out differently from prior four-year cycles
trying to map this cycle one-to-one with the last one could miss whatโs actually changing in front of us
