De 2021 a 2024, o campo das criptomoedas experimentou um desenvolvimento magnífico e muitos tópicos importantes surgiram todos os anos, liderando a tendência do setor.
1. 2021: A ascensão de cadeias públicas e tokens como LUNA e SOL atrai a atenção
Em 2021, a característica mais significativa do campo das criptomoedas é a ascensão das principais redes públicas. Ethereum continua a consolidar sua posição, e cadeias públicas emergentes como LUNA, SOL (Solana) e AVAX (Avalanche) também atraíram a atenção de um grande número de investidores. Estas cadeias públicas utilizam diferentes métodos para expandir o rendimento, reduzir os custos de transação e atrair desenvolvedores de destaque para aderir, competindo assim por participação de mercado. Além disso, o mercado de NFT (tokens não fungíveis) também começou a surgir, proporcionando uma nova plataforma para a negociação de obras de arte digitais e itens colecionáveis.
II. 2022: The War of Expansion and the Rise of the Cosmos Ecosystem
Entering 2022, the war of expansion among public chains continues to heat up. The high fees and congestion issues of Ethereum have prompted developers to seek other L1 (Layer 1) and L2 (Layer 2) solutions. At the same time, the Cosmos ecosystem is gradually rising, with its interoperability and cross-chain bridge technology providing possibilities for communication and asset transfer between blockchains. In addition, the stablecoin market has also shown explosive growth, with a total market value exceeding $150 billion, becoming a 'killer application' in the cryptocurrency field.
III. 2023: Artificial Intelligence, GameFi, and Meme Coins Become Hot Topics
By 2023, artificial intelligence (AI), GameFi (game finance), and Meme Coins have become the most discussed topics in the cryptocurrency field. AI tokens like Akash Network (AKT) and Render (RNDR) have seen huge price increases, attracting the attention of many investors. GameFi has surged alongside the rise of blockchain game development, with seven top video game companies venturing into this field. Moreover, Meme Coins have also experienced a long season, with meme coins like HarryPotterObamaSonic10Inu (BITCOIN) and Bonk (BONK) showing astonishing price increases, contributing to the rise of new cryptocurrency millionaires.
IV. 2024: Bitcoin Shines and the Mainstreaming of the Cryptocurrency Market
In 2024, the cryptocurrency field welcomes the shining moment of Bitcoin. The price of Bitcoin breaks the $100,000 mark, signaling the end of the stigmatization of the cryptocurrency market. At the same time, cryptocurrencies begin to embark on the path of mainstream elevation, with institutionalization, regulation, and politicization becoming the core narrative. The approval of Ethereum spot ETFs has also brought new vitality to the market. Additionally, the approval of Hong Kong's virtual asset spot ETFs and the rise of concepts like stablecoins and RWA (real-world assets) showcase the limitless potential for future development in the cryptocurrency field.
With more and more L1 and L2 solutions continuously emerging, it is still too early to pick a specific asset, or even a group of assets, that will ultimately win this race. However, one thing is for sure: the competition in this field will only intensify.
From 2021 to 2024, the cryptocurrency field has experienced a journey from the rise of public chains and the war of expansion to the shining moment of Bitcoin. Each year has seen numerous hot topics emerge, leading the transformation and development of the industry. In the future, with continuous technological advancements and the increasing maturity of the market, the cryptocurrency field will continue to bring us more surprises and opportunities.
What do you think the topic will be in 2025?
