Coinbase App Store Rankings Show Retail investors Still Waiting for Waiting despite rising cryptocurrency prices

The Coinbase App Store Ranking is a key measure of retail engagement and is currently ranked 260th in the U.S., indicating that retail interest remains sluggish despite recent cryptocurrency prices. Historically, the rapid climb in that ranking—such as the surge from 480th to 12th during the memecoin frenzy in November 2024—pronounces market excitement and cyclical peaks. Current trends suggest that institutional funding is driving the market, and retail investors’ “miss-phobia” (FOMO) has not yet appeared, which may affect the sustainability of the cycle and the timing of peaking.
