[ SLANG ][ CRYPTO ][ MARKET ]

An asset's price action becoming entirely dependent on a continuous stream of new hype narratives to sustain momentum, with no organic demand strong enough to hold the price once the narrative attention moves elsewhere.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"The coin only moves when the influencers are actively talking about it. The second the narrative shifts, it's dead weight."

LORE & ORIGIN

Crypto analysts named this around 2023-2024 observing that many tokens only pump in sync with active marketing narratives, collapsing predictably the moment community attention rotates to the next story.
