Crypto investor Ansem said trading may evolve into one of the most popular forms of next-generation PvP activity, as tokenization becomes as common as posting on social platforms. In his view, the early phase of the 2023 cycle offered a preview when Unibot paired a trading terminal with a token and helped expand on-chain trading in long-tail assets, with its market capitalization at one point reaching $200 million. He expects this cycle to bring several mobile-first social trading platforms.
Ansem also said 24/7 perpetual trading in both stocks and crypto will likely keep drawing retail interest. He pointed to Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 stock product as evidence that the trend is already being tested in the market, and said platforms such as Lighter could also benefit. He added that Robinhood was the first platform to prove the viability of “gamified trading,” though he argued no platform has yet fully captured the social layer embedded in trading.
For this cycle, Ansem said his main focus is on unresolved issues around creators and the attention economy. He said many token projects want distribution through creators with large audiences and are willing to pay significant sums, but that demand cannot be effectively handled through a standard meme coin model.
Crypto investor Ansem said trading could become one of the most popular next-generation PvP activities, while tokenization may become as common as posting on social platforms.
In a post, Ansem said the early stage of the 2023 cycle showed how the model could work. He cited Unibot, which combined a trading terminal with a token and helped drive on-chain trading in long-tail assets. Its market capitalization at one point reached $200 million.
For the current cycle, he expects several social trading platforms built around mobile usage to emerge. He said that shift could push trading closer to a mass-market, competitive consumer product.
Ansem also said 24/7 perpetual trading tied to both stocks and crypto assets should continue attracting retail users. He pointed to Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 stock product as validation of that trend, and said platforms including Lighter may also benefit.
He added that Robinhood was the first platform to show that a gamified trading model could work. Even so, he said no platform has yet managed to truly capture the social dimension of trading.
Ansem said the area he finds most interesting in this cycle is the unresolved set of problems around creators and the attention economy. According to him, many token projects want to use creators with large followings for distribution and are willing to spend heavily to do so. He argued that ordinary meme coin structures are not an effective way to carry that demand.
His main focus, he said, is on turning creator-led distribution demand into a product and building a model that can also benefit token holders.
