Hey everyone! With 2024 shaping up as a wild year in crypto, I've been looking into some major trends driving innovation (and profit!) in the space. Here’s a quick breakdown of seven key trends I think will be big. I'd love to hear your thoughts—any of these trends stand out to you? Are you investing in any projects aligned with these?
- Decentralized Social Platforms: Moving away from centralized control (think Instagram/Twitter) where you own your audience and posts across platforms.
- Restaking: A new way to earn yields on Ethereum by “restaking” assets for added security on networks.
- Data Availability Layers: Offloading data storage to help blockchains scale. Example: Celestia’s modular approach.
- Decentralized Physical Infrastructure (DePIN): Projects like Helium and Filecoin incentivize providing real-world infrastructure.
- Real World Asset (RWA) Tokenization: From real estate to fine art, assets are being tokenized for easier, fractioned ownership.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI): Huge demand for AI infrastructure—projects providing GPU power for AI ops are taking off.
- Political Memecoins: With the 2024 U.S. election, memecoins mocking political figures are on the rise (like $TRUMP and $BODEN).
