Will Crypto’s FOMO Wave Reshape Global Markets Again?

The Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) has been a driving force in every major crypto cycle. As Bitcoin hit $20,000 in 2017, retail investors flocked to Ethereum and Ripple. In 2021, meme tokens like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu experienced explosive growth driven by hype and community enthusiasm. Early indicators suggest that FOMO may return in the crypto market by mid-2025, potentially reshaping global markets. Bitcoin has already broken its all-time high, institutional investment through ETFs is steadily growing, and retail interest is slowly surging back into search trends, forums, and trading volumes.
