Cryptocurrency’s $1 trillion rally has yet to reprise pandemic-era mania

Controversial crypto mogul Justin Sun beamed as he ate a $6.2 million banana in Hong Kong, a spectacle that ratcheted up the spotlight on digital assets as the industry tries to keep an historic market rally on track.

The banana comes from a viral conceptual artwork, Comedian, comprised of the fruit duct-taped to a wall, which Sun bought in a Sotheby’s auction last week.
