There are two types of hot projects in the cryptocurrency world: one type is hot before the token is issued, like Filecoin and ARB, with no opportunities in the primary and secondary markets; the other type has no initial popularity but can make money later, like Aster and Hyperliquid.
Whether trading stocks or cryptocurrencies, the opportunity to make money relies on the leading stocks in the sector — when a leading stock's market cap rises, there are opportunities in the same sector initially, but when too many people get involved, those opportunities disappear.
Now many people are scrambling to get EdgeX and Lighter, but the cost is high and the token will be issued soon; temporary efforts are not useful, so don't follow blindly.
