If you ask people at random why they decided to engage with crypto, a lot of them would mention financial reasons. That said, I've noticed that not a lot of people are able to maximise the financial opportunities in web3 beyond just buying and selling crypto.
Personally, I am big fan of DeFI so I'm inclined to engage with projects like peaq that gives users easy access to DeFi services,and eliminating the complexities around cross-chain payments.
I don't know if the growing engagement on Bitget's poolx means anything, but at least it tells me that like me, other people also see the potential with DeFi and related projects.
