Crypto Sectors: DeFi, NFTs, Gaming & Beyond - indigostrader - 23.11.2025
Crypto Sectors: DeFi, NFTs, Gaming & Beyond
While macro trends move the entire market, sector-specific expertise creates alpha. This sub-forum is for traders who understand that crypto isn't one asset class—it's a constellation of interconnected ecosystems, each with its own dynamics, metrics, and catalysts. Here, we move beyond "crypto" to master the specific verticals where fortunes are made and lost.
Whether you're a DeFi degen, NFT flipper, or gaming guild master, this is where you'll find your tribe. Specialization is the path to superiority.
