What did I miss from 2023 to now?

[Nihal6443]

Hello everyone,
​I was very active in crypto industry from 2018 to 2023. In that time I learn many things like Bitcoin, altcoins, ICO, DeFi, GameFi (play to earn), crypto bridges, halving, NFT, staking, Web3, Metaverse, AMMs, yield farming... so much things I am even forgetting now.
​After that I totally move to different industry and stop following the market. Now I want to know, what did I miss from 2023 until today? What are the new big trends?
​Thanks for your help!

There is no much big trends for now than RWA tokens. But there have been some RWA tokens in the past like PAXG, XAUT and few other ones, but it is now the trend as other ones like tokenized stocks, metals and commodity have been included. You can trade them on crypto exchanges now.

Memecoins have been strong since 2023 but I don't See a bright future for Memecoins anymore as it has been a temporary Hype for a few years and Memecoins are losing Position in CoinMarketCap again.

Cryptocurrency ETF's became a big thing. Right now Michael Saylor alongside other whales is leading the charge on Bitcoin ETF's. Altcoin ETF's are also in the game but they have not grown yet to a hype or anything similar...

ICO's are dead, thankfully.

What else... Well the world is starting to adopt cryptocurrency at a stable rate but that is not new. I just thought to mention that the demand for cryptocurrency is still quite high and has not dwindled as many say it would.

Not many things changed from 2023 until today, but the only more automations in doing daily trade and most of tokens even meme token can be paired with the stock tokenization such as NVDA, CRCL, and etc due to the approval of stock tokenization issuance. For a small insight, i give you a picture about the growth of crypto stock commodities.

Beside that there is also a blockchain called robinhood being dedicated for the stock tokenization purpose such as Robinhood. A part from that prediction market is also getting massive because it provides you a place to gamble in everything.

So far those are the new trends, and those trends are slowly getting bigger here. The other is still relatively the same such as meme and etc.

Almost all of those you've known are dead except bitcoin and altcoins who are reputable. The halving for bitcoin will continue to happen but a lot of those buzz from metaverse, nfts and those others that you have mentioned are no longer a thing these days. If you're still interested in some of it like yield farming, I'll be careful with it. Because many of the hacks are also happening in it and of course with the centralized exchanges.

[Ruttoshi]

Almost all the real world asset will soon be tokenized because that's the current trend. Imagine, when you can buy gold and trade gold on crypto exchanges. However, from 2023 till date, we have seen a lot of projects (memecoins) popped up and fade away at the same time.

Institutions are now part of bitcoin after the lunch of Bitcoin ETFs and that has also reduce the volatility in bitcoin compared to previous circles.

[Stalker22]

You didnt miss as much as you think.  It is mostly the same circus with a few new labels. 

a few things that i would single out:

- Solana and memecoins comeback (and pump.fun became a thing)

- Bitcoin ETFs. Blackrock and others got spot etfs approved, so institutional money drives the cycles now.

- AI hype

DeFi, NFTs and ICOs are mostly dead now.  everything else is pretty much the same.

[Odogwu-Blockchain]

You haven't missed anything, except few memecoin that was built on Solana then started trending but fade away after then, as Charles Tim had said, that RWA assets are beginning to come into the game, stocks are now tokenized. SPCX is now accessible as tokens on various centralized exchange, someone talking about Bitcoin ETF, you could take a look at that too.

[TastyChillySauce00]

Agree with the others, you don't really miss nothing much, almost everything is 2017-2023 rebranded, RWA has now become a more popular even though back then we've seen RWA popping up but all of them always about tokenizing real estate, and similar thing which have no market for it, we're now getting RWA stock that actually quite convenient to have, I could diversify my portfolio across stocks from different countries stock market seamlessly.

maybe several things that you should know

• Meme launchpad with curve bonding, some kind of virtual pricing.
• Stablecoin become so common, and there's synthetic dollar where every stablecoin isn't backed by t-bill but it acts as receipt token for deposit
• Perp dexes with huge volume, you can trade derivative directly from your self custody wallet. It existed before 2023 but they become better

Memecoins have been strong since 2023 but I don't See a bright future for Memecoins anymore as it has been a temporary Hype for a few years and Memecoins are losing Position in CoinMarketCap again.

Well I don’t know if I should call it being strong, when you don’t see a future in memecoin, it’s just about playing around with memecoins and wasting our time, well if I choose to play around with a memecoin I wouldn’t see a future in memecoin as well just for the short term, just like you have mentioned they’ve lost positions in the market, there is absolutely nothing op have missed because it seems like people have been going round in different circles, there have been nothing special so far, so you didn’t miss anything, it’ just seems like everything is stagnant, few of this memecoins have died off in the market and some few others are just waiting to die as well, which is why I don’t see anything special thing happening with the memecoin.

[naikturun]

now crypto has different from before, since pump fun. and other dex or platform do the same thing, now everyone can create their token, so now liquidity is separate to many of them.
if before we always see big pump in some coin, now we will  not the that again, that will be a nice history

During that year which happened to be 2023 the Memecoins is also among of the the most valuable coins of the year because even the traders have gain alots of profits from the Memecoins, I don’t know how it take lose value in just once time. Or is because hype of the influencers that is too much; in that 2023 nobody expected to lose position even in the Coinmarketcap, especially the traders because some Memecoins traders turned small dollar into huge amounts of dollars.

Biggest trend since then was memecoin, and that was actually a very worthless trend which didn't add anything new or exciting to the market. What I most miss are blockchain games, but nobody managed to make them work in sustainable way, so it's better that new trends regard that matter don't appear anymore, unless solid and sustainable blockchain games can be launched. I don't know when it will happen, but I'm still hopeful it will happen at some point.

The altcoin market stagnated between 2023 and 2026; in fact, altcoin prices remained high only because of Bitcoin's price surge. If Bitcoin's price had remained at $60,000 for years, for instance, altcoin prices would have simply fallen which is why I consider the altcoin market to have been stagnant. What happens is that marketing has become the primary weapon for celebrities, influencers, and wealthy individuals: they create " meme coins " launch massive marketing campaigns, and get people to buy in without caring about the project's utility people just look for a quick profit over a day or two before jumping ship. After two days, the meme coin's value plummets, and it dies. That is what you missed out on during those three years: nothing important.

Nothing much like back then when there use to be a seasonal trends like the altcoins boom of 2018 and etc, but what have been on the news lately combine of both cryptocurrency regulatory framework by countries.

Another recent cryptocurrency hypes is the ETF buying, tokenized stocks and predictions market.

All of that have made headlines in cryptocurrency-related news trends and hypes; altcoins are at the centre of all of that because of their flexibility of use.

It looked worthless but it did few investors got some money from the many of us who have lost so much money..

What I most miss are blockchain games, but nobody managed to make them work in sustainable way, so it's better that new trends regard that matter don't appear anymore, unless solid and sustainable blockchain games can be launched. I don't know when it will happen, but I'm still hopeful it will happen at some point.

I also miss the games, the legitimate ones.

Everyone thought that it can be a way to earn more money while enjoying at the same time. But it didn't end the way we like it because it was hype and the developers were overwhelmed with its growth.

Right now, the games are just pure games and they better be left like that without any intervention and connection to earning some tokens.

It's just a few things you missed. US is a pro-crypto country that they now has a Bitcoin strategy reserve.

Many hacks happened in the crypto space last year and this year; Bybit recorded the highest losses from hacks($1.5 billion).

The regulation is now clear on Bitcoin; the SEC is no longer suing people for owning Bitcoin as an asset
