Retail Demand Surge

Definition

Retail demand surge describes a sudden and significant increase in purchasing activity for digital assets by individual, non-institutional investors. This phenomenon is typically driven by widespread public interest, positive news, social media trends, or rapid price appreciation, leading to a large influx of smaller investment amounts. Such surges can cause rapid price movements and increased trading volumes across cryptocurrency exchanges. It often reflects a broader speculative interest or growing mainstream adoption of digital assets.
