In recent years, the popularity of crypto trading in certain regions has indeed been exaggerated. From 2018 to 2025, the number of trading participants has surged from 2 million (3.9%) to 16.3 million (31.6%), more than a sevenfold increase. The growth rate is astonishingly fast, especially in the past year. Even more outrageous is that some places have turned esports competitions into crypto trading contests. This shift warrants reflection—what's the difference between turning mainstream entertainment into trading competitions and encouraging nationwide participation in speculative trading? What does this imply behind the numbers? This is a question worth pondering.

A 7x comeback is indeed crazy, but turning the esports into a trading competition was a brilliant move... Truly making everyone a leek.

A 7x growth is outrageous. Esports has even turned into trading competitions. How far is this from a casino?

7x growth? That's really crazy, from 3.9% to 31.6%... almost everyone is trading cryptocurrencies now.

7x multiplier, this data is really incredible... But changing the esports competition to a trading contest? I really can't quite wrap my head around that logic.
