HONG KONG, Jan. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Huobi Research
Institute, the leading blockchain application research team, today
released its Global Blockchain Industry Overview and Trends
2021-2022 Annual Report.
2021 was a year for the blockchain industry to remember. This
past year, we witnessed rapid changes in the blockchain industry,
with many new milestones: Coinbase was listed, the first Bitcoin
futures ETF was approved, Bitcoin became legal tender in
El Salvador, amongst others. We
also saw the emergence of new public chains, NFTs, Metaverse,
Web3.0, GameFi, and other new concepts. As we kick off the new
year, what kind of trends do we foresee going forward?
The Global Blockchain Industry Overview and Trends 2021-2022
Annual Report released by Huobi Research Institute provides the
answers. A joint collaboration with the Blockchain Association
Singapore and supported by Huobi Technology and Huobi Singapore,
this report analyzes the development of the crypto industry over
the past year from four different aspects: finance, market,
technology and policy. The report also examines ten important
events that occurred in the blockchain industry in 2021, and uses
them as a basis to forecast trends for 2022.
From a financial perspective, bitcoin assets are being
increasingly accepted and adopted by listed companies and central
banks as a digital asset that can replace gold. Traditional
financial institutions are also actively stepping into this market,
and compliance has become an important trend in the virtual asset
industry. In the past year, DeFi has maintained rapid development
in both scale and type, and DeFi2.0 innovations have evolved to
provide better liquidity solutions. Stablecoin market value
increased rapidly and received attention from regulators around the
world. Crypto compliance businesses continue to grow, and demand
for such services will remain strong for the foreseeable
future.
Several hot topics also emerged throughout the year. NFTs showed
explosive growth, but behind the bubble, illiquidity and volatile
prices still pose problems. The popularity of meme coins has
skyrocketed, forming their own subculture and trends. But behind
the sudden price jumps, what greater utility do they provide to the
world? GameFi and Metaverse also became buzzwords in 2021. What's
driving them are innovations in organizational forms, improvements
in operating models, and further exploration of the boundaries of
virtual reality.
Technology drives innovation. This report analyzes the
advantages and disadvantages of Layer2 technology led by Rollups
and possible solutions in the future. The fierce competition
between old and new public chains constantly challenges bitcoin's
dominance; As cross-chain bridges became important infrastructure,
blockchain security is also likely to face more challenges.
In the future, DeFi will enter the 2.0 era, and CBDCs will
gradually be introduced to the public. Behind rapid technology
iterations and scaling markets lie enormous development
opportunities and a constantly evolving industry.
