NFT trading volume has exploded in 2022, with $1.6B in trading volume as of Jan 9th.

That’s already 47% of the $3.4B trading volume in Aug-21, the highest volume month for #NFTs to date.

At this rate, trading volume is on track to surpass $5.5B this month.

The increase in #NFT trading volume is driven by a spike in activity on both #Etheruem and #Solana, partially offset by a decrease in trading volume on #Ronin (an Etheruem sidechain designed for @AxieInfinity). Image
The rise in #NFT trading volume follows an all-time high in Google searches for NFTs, indicating that interest in NFTs hasn’t faded. Image
Google searches for @opensea also hit an all-time high last week as retail traders and collectors flocked to the leading #NFT marketplace. Image

Not surprising that Ethereum leads total Web3 developers by a long shot with ~4,000 developers.

Somewhat surprising to see Polkadot ranking second with ~1,400.

2/ Looking at monthly active developers since launch, Etheruem again leads the pack.

But the Polkadot ecosystem is clearly showing impressive developer traction.

There is also a noticeable spike in monthly active developers working on Cosmos in 2021 versus prior years.
3/ Full-time developers on Near skyrocketed in 2021, surpassing Cardano and Tezos.

Avalanche and Terra appear to be following a similar trajectory.

1/ Major new research drop on “The Outlook for #DeFi” from @Bitwiseinvest. Key takeaways:

1. DeFi is positioned to disrupt finance like Amazon disrupted Sears
2. DeFi is currently undervalued using P/S & P/SG metrics
3. The market growth opportunity is up to 15X-114X

2/ What is DeFi?

DeFi creates a more accessible, efficient, & transparent financial system. It applies one of crypto’s greatest breakthroughs—programmable money—to financial services.

It’s completely changing the way we think about the financial system.

3/ There has been a widespread failure to innovate across the global financial industry over the past 30+ years. Fintech has been a long-promised revolution that never arrived.

DeFi fixes this. It rewires the back end of the legacy system while offering fintech-like front ends.
