What the coverage is about
- Adoption and infrastructure (100%). News is about real-world use. Adoption stories rarely move price immediately, but they build the long-term case.
- Regulation and policy (33%). Policy is driving the conversation. Rule changes usually matter more for who can buy and hold the asset than for the next day's price.
- Central banks and macro (17%). Macro is in the driving seat: the asset is trading as a function of interest-rate expectations and the dollar.
