The cryptocurrency industry in 2022 is expected to undergo a series of significant developments and changes, trends that will not only affect the dynamics of the crypto market but also have a profound impact on the global economy:
1. Strategic Reserves and Adoption: Major countries within the G7 or BRICS may establish and announce their own strategic Bitcoin reserves. This will mark a further recognition of the position of cryptocurrencies as national strategic assets.
2. Growth of Stablecoins: The market value of stablecoins is expected to double, exceeding $400 billion. The widespread use of stablecoins will facilitate more efficient cross-border payments and transactions.
3. Development of the DeFi Ecosystem: The Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem is expected to achieve rapid growth leveraging L2 networks (such as Stacks, BOB, Babylon).
