CryptoRank: Key crypto events this week.

The lack of excitement and thrill will lead the crypto market into stagnation, according to the head of CryptoQuant.

🔹The crypto industry is facing a crisis due to changes in the sector: new products fail to excite traders, leading to a downturn in the market, wrote Ki Young Ju, CEO of the analytics platform CryptoQuant, on X.

🔹A new "game" that can trigger a dopamine rush among market participants could push the cryptocurrency space forward, he believes. In the crypto industry, such dopamine triggers are profits from unpredictable bets (traders’ experience) and the creation of new technologies in uncharted territories (developers’ experience).

🔹"If we don't create a new game that stimulates dopamine in traders, the crypto industry as we know it will face a prolonged period of stagnation," Ki asserts.

🔹Only with a new level of excitement will "money flood the market, and the industry will be able to develop," Ki added, pointing to the dismal performance of altcoins and the lack of significant capital inflows into the market
