Capital gravitates to Layer-1 and smart-contract platforms as each nears $1.8 trillion in market cap

Recent category rankings indicate capital is clustering in infrastructure segments rather than more speculative tokens. Proof-of-Stake led the top sectors with a roughly 2.1% weekly gain. The shift broadly aligns with Wall Street’s growing focus on tokenization and staking-linked products.
