Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency in the world, continues to attract the attention of investors, developers, and businesses. In this article, we will examine the main drivers of Ethereum's development and discuss the possibility of it overtaking Bitcoin in terms of market capitalization.

In this article, we will examine how Bitcoin differs from popular altcoins such as Ethereum and Solana and why it remains the focus of investors and users.

Economic instability accompanied by high inflation is becoming a reality for many countries. In such conditions, protecting savings becomes a priority for citizens and organizations. One instrument attracting attention is Bitcoin, the first and most popular cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin, being the most recognizable cryptocurrency, plays an important role in the development of DeFi. In this article, we will look at how Bitcoin is used in DeFi, what technologies ensure its compatibility with decentralized applications, as well as popular projects that integrate BTC.

In 2024, new bills define a specific regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies.

Uniswap was the first native decentralized exchange (DEX) token to emerge almost just before the Decentralized Finance Marketplace (DeFi) boom.

The fact that memcoins created for the sake of a joke and without a definite initial purpose bypass many large companies with real business in terms of capitalization has long become commonplace.

One of the most prominent players in the liquid steaking segment amidst the booming popularity of the Solana ecosystem and growing demand for it among crypto investors has been the Jito Network protocol.

VeChain was one of the first blockchains where developers found a real-world business application, namely providing logistics transparency.

Ethereum Classic, which preserved the state of the original Ethereum blockchain, continued to exist as it was backed by a substantial part of the crypto community and several major miners, such as AntPool and MinerGate.

Memcoins continue to flood the cryptocurrency market. While most of these digital assets remain virtually unnoticed and have no value or future, some still manage to draw the attention of the crypto community and stand alongside the leading cryptocurrencies.

In 2024, institutional investor interest in Bitcoin continued to grow, opening up new prospects for the cryptocurrency market. This article explores the key factors influencing the activity of major players and their role in changing the market dynamics.

The cryptocurrency market, including stablecoins, continues to be heavily regulated. The new Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) bill, which came into effect in the summer of 2024, has tightened requirements for stablecoin issuers providing services with their digital assets within the European Union.

Cryptocurrency developers often create solutions that act as analogs to centralized services, giving users access to uncensored platforms and new revenue opportunities.

Decentralized exchanges (DEXes), such as Uniswap and Balancer, have become an alternative to centralized trading platforms (CEXes) like Binance or Coinbase, allowing users to trade without having to make deposits or undergo identity verification (KYC or Know Your Customer).

Understanding the key trends helps to determine which assets are likely to be most in demand. Although the trend may change at any moment and other segments may come to the forefront, in any case, the leading projects of each sector will remain in high demand.

Cryptocurrencies focused on providing transaction privacy have always been highly controversial. The potential for anonymous and untraceable currencies to be used in criminal activity is more than obvious.

Non-fungible tokens have been one of the hottest topics in the cryptocurrency community and the art world, especially among digital artists, for quite some time. The crash of the NFT market itself significantly reduced interest in this field.

On June 29, 2024, one of the fundamental bills regulating the cryptocurrency market in the European Union - Markets in Crypto-Assets or MiCA - came into force. This document is vital to regulating stablecoins, which are pegged to the exchange rate of the euro, the U.S. dollar, and other currencies.

Polkadot (DOT), one of the most innovative cryptocurrency platforms, continues to actively develop, remaining at the center of the attention of the community and investors.

The NFT market has slowed down its decline - we can already talk about its stabilization and recovery prospects in the foreseeable future. The appearance rate of new projects does not seem to decrease either, but their fate is often diametrically opposite.

Memcoins are one of the hottest topics in the crypto community today. The memcoin market is constantly growing, and new projects appear like mushrooms after rain, and it is often difficult to find differences between them. In many ways, the situation is reminiscent of the "NFT fever" of 2021.

Over the past 3 years, dozens of Layer-2 solutions have appeared on the crypto market, whose developers are trying to fix Ethereum's main problems related to low network bandwidth.

The Dash protocol has been around for more than 10 years and continues to evolve and improve its market performance alongside other key players in the crypto industry.

In November 2024, the event that perhaps every Bitcoin holder was waiting for happened: the exchange rate of the first and leading cryptocurrency, BTC, reached its all-time high (ATH).

Online payments are one of the main areas that blockchain developers seek to address, creating alternatives to traditional systems to reduce costs and increase transaction speeds.

USDC (USDC) stablecoin will play an increasing role in cross-border payments and integrations with traditional financial systems in the second half of 2024. Many companies are using USDC to simplify payments and reduce costs associated with currency conversion. Let's look at these topics in detail.

From 2020 to 2023, the memcoin market grew by 7,400%. However, this growth has been accompanied by significant risks: almost 80% of memcoins lose more than half of their value in the first year after launch.

Over the past two years, amid the popularity of AI solutions, more and more new crypto-projects focused on the artificial intelligence sector have emerged. The Virtuals Protocol project has become one of them.

Developers of decentralized applications such as DEX exchanges, credit protocols, and cross-chain bridges often release tokens with a specific purpose that are used within their ecosystem and sometimes even outside of it.
