Why does LBank believe crypto growth needs to change?

Q: What’s wrong with the current crypto growth model?
A: According to LBank’s Head of Social and Partnerships Muha, crypto growth has historically depended too much on market hype cycles—like token pumps or trending narratives. Users would join during bull runs, but engagement often faded just as quickly.

Q: Why is that a problem now?
A: Market cycles are getting shorter. Trends like meme coins or AI tokens can rise and fall within days or weeks, making it harder for platforms to rely on sustained growth from hype alone.
