Bitcoin and Ethereum social buzz hits 12-month low as retail stays silent

Wall Street is buying the dip, but the public hasn't logged back in yet. Data shows tweet volume for Bitcoin and Ethereum has collapsed to levels not seen since 2020, even as ETFs draw billions in fresh capital. It's a jarring disconnect. While BlackRock and Fidelity aggressively expand their crypto footprints, the casual trader's appetite for social media chatter has completely evaporated. The frantic hype cycles of 2021 feel like a distant memory. Analysts point to a market dominated by quiet, institutional accumulation rather than the loud, meme-driven rallies that previously defined the space. This shift suggests the 'smart money' is currently operating in a vacuum without the usual retail exit liquidity. If the largest assets in the sector can't spark a conversation on X, it raises a tough question for the next bull run. Will the memes return, or has the conversation moved permanently behind closed doors?
