The latest on the bitcoin network is Ordinals, but this does not concern someone whose focus is on Bitcoin entirely.
It's based on hype, not actual development that will make Bitcoin a better protocol. Listen to what Ordinals developers like Udi and Casey Rodarmor have said. They said that they wanted to make "Bitcoin fun again". THAT shows they don't care about bringing the network forward, they merely want to build something like memecoins.
Bitcoin does not have trends like other networks which are focused on profits and finding new ways to attract investors. What you find on Bitcoin are implementations to improve the network.

The ETF could probably be considered a trend, no? Although it's a trend for the institutions, but it's still a trend.
