TL:DR, Yes.
Long Answer:
After the announcement of Metamask integration to LeoFinance, people can register by just connecting their MetaMask accounts and therefore create a Hive account and start posting on LeoFinance. Since LeoFinance is using Hive's ecosystem, that benefits Hive and all other apps that use Hive as their ecosystem.
I believe that this is a great move. We have millions of people using ETH and are interested in trading, finance, stocks, you name it. If those people stumble upon "LeoFinance" where they can freely discuss all of the aforementioned topics without any censorship, fast and for free, I am sure Hive and LEO would both benefit from new users. Because you don't have to bother with any other platform to register, it doesn't redirect you to anywhere else. Simple enough, connect your MetaMask, choose a username, and you're good. Start posting, sharing your thoughts about financial topics and earn tokens.
I also believe that this is also the reason why LeoFinance has been gaining a lot of traction in the last couple of months. Khal, rest of LEO team, LEO users and of course, LeoFinance itself has a clear goal. Finance. Finance and related discussions. I think that's why Hive as the core blockchain/platform (talking about the social media layer here) is confusing to some people since it's too broad. You can have gaming, finance, people blogging daily about their lives, people rambling about their thoughts and for some, it becomes confusing.
I am certain with the release of HMT/HATs we might see even more projects centralizing around a certain topic. Making it easier to onboard users.
Just my two cents.
Thank you for reading through the post.
I think you hit it on the head. The focus of Leofinance makes it ideally suited to be marketed outside the Hive ecosystem.
For two years I have stated that if people on Hive want to market this place, choose an app and get behind it. That targeting is what enables success. You are right, the general focus of Hive makes it impossible to truly market. The gamers are different from the Dporn people who are different from the bloggers who are different from the traders.
That is why the community mindset makes sense. Yet for some reason, it has not translated into the marketing around here.

I think big boost can also be done if we more often share good posts from Leo on our Twitter,FB walls. We all have our followers in those places.
The least I can do - always retweet smth with #leo #leofinance #crypto #bitcoin tags. I not hold a large fan base there (~1450) , but... every bit ads up.

Absolutely. Anyone who uses the mainstream social media can grab a few posts and send them out.
I always state that anyone who wants to send any of my posts out on social media, feel free. If one thinks it can help to attract users to Leo and Hive, have at it.

I think whenever you pair something with another token that has high liquidity you help the weaker one, if there were more ETH pairs for lets say LEO on more exchanges nad if LEO could get a BTC or EOS pair it just makes it so much easier and more efficient to get in and out, the capital flows much easier, and people are willing to get in because they can also get out without moving the price down
