Bullish
Na be sentiment catalyst for World Cup-linked crypto assets. The Brazil vs Morocco draw plus Neymar no dey play give new narrative flow, and the 48-team format go expand tradable matchups and keep engagement higher than smaller brackets. Kraken official-partner status and higher Chiliz activity at kickoff dey reinforce the "attention/liquidity" backdrop.
