ZBT, ETH, and other cryptocurrencies' trends are inseparable from changes in global capital flows. Recently, a major event happened in the US stock market—retail investors are completely rewriting the market.
JPMorgan's latest statistics show that: by 2025, retail investors' capital pouring into the stock market will surge by 53%, directly surpassing the historic high set in 2021. Even more astonishing, retail trading volume accounts for 1/4 of the total trading volume, and in April, it even reached 35%. To put it another way: out of every 10 trades, 3 are from ordinary investors.
Why is this happening? Zero-commission trading has changed everything. Opening an account and trading now is as easy as ordering takeout. More and more new retail investors are jumping in, buying the dip when they see opportunities, and every major decline attracts a large influx of people buying ETFs. As a result, the S&P 500 has hit new highs.
Wall Street also has to face reality: retail investors have become the most powerful driving force behind this bull market. The Federal Reserve's rate cut expectations are growing stronger, and this enthusiasm could last until 2026. Capital continues to flow in, and the market looks very hot.
But there are risks hidden here. The higher the heat, the more caution is needed. The market's frenzy is the easiest time to make mistakes, and those who truly profit are often the ones who can stay rational amid the madness. Are you confident that you will be the one to laugh last?

It should be pointed out that this JPMorgan data actually demonstrates an ancient market truth—herd irrationality. Let's return to the original thinking of Satoshi Nakamoto's white paper: the essence of decentralization is to break this information asymmetry. However, retail investors are now instead deceived by the superficial benefit of zero commissions, becoming the hype men for a new round of bubbles. Clearly, history is always astonishingly similar.

Retail investors really do catch the bottom fiercely, but every time they end up trapped, history always repeats itself.

Retail investors leading the way? Sounds good, but I think most people end up as just the little guys... Zero commission just makes people feel like they're traders, it's hilarious.

Retail investors' 53% increase... This wave is indeed bullish, but I just have a feeling something's not quite right.
