Call me crazy, but retail is pretty jaded at this point and I don't think a loose SEC means they suddenly become popular again. The well capitalized coins like XRP or SOL will maybe get an ETF, but Dogwifhat? I doubt it.
As the upcoming Trump administration is gearing up to establish a regulatory landscape facilitating full-on anything-goes multicoinery, and with Gary Gensler gone, we could well see the most atrocious scam coins proliferate and soar— before they inevitably implode.
