The article highlights that while Bitcoin is nearing a new all-time high of $73,000, the retail trading participation has decreased, leading to weaker-than-expected earnings for Coinbase. The decline in retail trading is attributed to negative sentiment discouraging traders and reduced volatility in the market.

However, there are positive signs of a resurgence in retail interest as Bitcoin volumes on Coinbase have been growing faster than on Binance.
