Key Numbers and Statistics for 2024
This year wasn’t just big for Binance — it was monumental for the entire crypto industry. From the adoption of stablecoins in emerging markets to breakthroughs in Web3 gaming and tokenized real-world assets, 2024 showcased the limitless possibilities of blockchain technology. Bitcoin also hit an all-time high in Q4, further solidifying its position as the cornerstone of the crypto market.
Crypto in 2024: Industry Highlights*
Stablecoin Adoption: Addresses holding dollar and crypto-pegged stablecoins grew 15% to 93.6 million. Stablecoins gained traction globally, with major companies like Stripe reintroducing crypto payments and Tether reporting record profits in Q3. Emerging markets, including Nigeria, India, and Brazil, saw a preference for stablecoins, driven by economic stability and efficiency.
RWA Tokenization: The market value of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) reached a record $3.45 billion, with $8 billion total value locked — a 700% year-over-year increase. This shift reflects the growing utility of blockchain for real-world applications, with major brands like Louis Vuitton tokenizing items.
Memecoins: The memecoin sector surged, capturing 11% of the crypto market cap (excluding BTC, ETH, and stablecoins). Despite volatility, community-driven tokens remain a unique driver of market engagement.
Web3 Gaming: Investment in Web3 gaming hit $1.1 billion in Q2 2024 alone, with leading companies embracing decentralized gaming experiences. This trend emphasizes the transformative potential of blockchain in entertainment.
