Cryptocurrency-native users are flooding into the US stock market, undergoing a mindset shift

Based on user data from various channels, an interesting phenomenon is happening — players holding crypto assets are experiencing a "cooling-off" period in US stock investments.

Looking back to the third quarter of last year, that market rally, the enthusiasm of crypto users for US stocks was, to be honest, somewhat similar to the meme coin craze back in the day: the story was compelling, and the quick feedback on returns was incredible, with price movements visible within seconds.

But now, things are different. After experiencing a market cycle, this group is starting to become more rational. They no longer chase quick feedback and extreme volatility; instead, they focus more on fundamentals and long-term logic. From chasing gains and selling on dips to carefully selecting investments, this shift indicates that crypto users are maturing — speaking with data and proving with time, US stock investing has entered its second phase.

Haha, this is what they call learning from past mistakes. The memecoin approach is indeed addictive. Wait, really... Are these people actually starting to look at fundamentals now? I feel like they're still a bunch of retail investors... But honestly, the attitude shift from intraday short to holding overnight is quite obvious, just not sure how long it will last. After all this, it turns out that the US stock market is the ultimate dream. Thanks everyone for the lesson. Alright, alright, I’ll stick to mining steadily. You guys take your time to "mature." When will this second stage reach the third stage... waiting for the moment to lose money?

Haha, I witnessed this transformation firsthand. I've really gone from a gambler to a retail investor. To be honest, the excitement of US stocks isn't as intense as memecoins, but maybe that's why they last longer. Those still chasing gains in the group are all trapped now. I've started looking at financial reports instead, feeling a bit more grounded. Doubling within seconds to an annualized percentage—this process is quite exhilarating. From harvesting the leeks to planting the leeks, have we really grown up?

Ha, this is what they call the "Eureka moment," the transformation from gambler to investor... Honestly, I'm tired of the quick feedback loop. Really, last year's frenzy of memecoins moved to the US stock market, and now I finally understand that long-term holding is the way to go. It's a bit ironic but also expected. Crypto enthusiasts are starting to analyze financial reports. It must be incredibly boring to endure this pace, but I have to admit, people are indeed growing.

I've been duped again. Isn't this just my self-redemption story from meme coins to US stocks, just with a different disguise?

Really? Those people used to go crazy when trading memes, and now that they're trading US stocks, they also talk about fundamentals. I feel like they're just switching places to continue gambling...
