Predictions for the Blockchain Segment in the Coming Years

Emerging Blockchain Milestones

As the new bull market gains momentum, key developments in the blockchain sector are anticipated over the next two years. Important milestones include the approval of Ethereum ETFs and the fourth Bitcoin (BTC) halving, which are expected to enhance institutional adoption of digital assets. The sector is advised to be approached as a marathon, given the volatility that could resemble a roller coaster.

Growth of Web3 Games

Web3 games are projected to attract the next 100 million active users to cryptocurrencies. This expansion indicates a significant increase in the mainstream adoption of blockchain technology. With the potential for a pro-crypto administration in the U.S. by 2025, regulatory environments may become more favorable.

Economic and Market Outlook

In the broader macroeconomic landscape, a full rate cutting cycle is expected, with interest rates potentially returning to 2-3%. This economic shift follows the period when rates were last below 2% in mid-2022. However, market participants should anticipate volatility in the cryptocurrency market during the next 24 months.

DeFi Sector Advancements

The approval of Bitcoin ETFs might pave the way for similar financial products focused on various altcoins. The decentralized finance (DeFi) sector is poised for substantial growth, with revenues of DeFi protocols expected to rise significantly. At least two major DeFi projects are projected to surpass $1 billion in revenue within the next two years. This growth will likely lead to the emergence of leading DeFi entities, expected to maintain sustainable cash flow and resilience against competitive threats.
