Crypto
Cryptocurrencies — digital assets recorded on blockchains and traded outside traditional banking.
Coverage of Crypto is fading : 42 signals on the latest tracked day, down 26% from its three-week baseline of 57, across 13 domains (up from 8 a week ago). That makes it the #55 most-covered of the 348 concerns we track.
If Crypto matters to your work, attention is draining away — the pace of news no longer demands a daily check.
What’s changed
7 of the last 7 tracked days ran below the three-week baseline — a sustained cooling, not a one-day dip.
