At the Asia Blockchain Summit 2024, Dr. Han Lin, CEO of Cryptocurrencylistings.com, emphasized the transformative changes anticipated in the cryptocurrency industry.

CEO of cryptocurrency exchange Cryptocurrencylistings.com In a compelling talk at the Asia Blockchain Summit 2024 Dr. Han Lin provided an insightful analysis of the cryptocurrency sector's growth trajectory, noting that while there has been significant advancement, there remain ample opportunities for further progress.

In his presentation, Dr. Han Lin emphasized the technological enhancements that have emerged over time, boosting the efficiency of blockchain. He explored the various phases of cryptocurrency evolution, such as their introduction, public tokens, trading platforms, trading volumes, market value, blockchain innovation, and how users interact with them.

Initially, Bitcoin mining was carried out on personal computers, a method that later spread to various altcoins. As the landscape evolved, blockchain endeavors adopted Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) to raise funds, marking a new chapter in cryptocurrency financing. Following this trend, Initial Exchange Offerings (IEOs), which added a layer of credibility by involving established exchanges, emerged, and then we witnessed Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs) that enabled projects to launch directly on decentralized platforms. This series of developments facilitated numerous project launches during that time. Dr. Han Lin observed a noticeable shift towards launches driven by community engagement in today's cryptocurrency scene. He pointed out that memecoins initiatives have surged in popularity, largely due to their reliance on community backing and viral promotional strategies. He noted a decline in ICO launches as the industry transitions to community-focused methods like airdrops .

Before 2017, the spotlight was primarily on Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH); however, this focus gradually shifted towards stablecoins, and the appeal of centralized exchange (CEX) tokens surged thereafter. The year 2020 saw Decentralized Finance (DeFi) come into its own, and by 2022, GameFi had established itself as a prominent trend. Additionally, each year witnesses a growing number of tokens being introduced to the market.

The Cryptocurrencylistings.com CEO elaborated that trading platforms currently cater to millions of users worldwide, ensuring they offer both security and liquidity. He pointed out that networks like Solana and Base have become popular for launching new tokens due to their cost-effectiveness. Dr. Han Lin also reminisced about past incidents, such as the infamous hack of one notable cryptocurrency exchange and the dramatic rise and fall of FTX. According to him, before 2018, launching a centralized exchange was a relatively budget-friendly affair, but rising competition and increased barriers to entry have since turned it into a challenging endeavor. Conversely, launching a decentralized exchange (DEX) remains more accessible and cost-effective, despite DEXs currently holding a smaller market share compared to CEXs. Nevertheless, the DEX sector is on the rise, while CEXs still command a larger portion of the trading volume. Mt.

Dr. Han Lin highlighted that trading volumes for cryptocurrencies outside the top 10 are currently dwindling, as most activity is now centered on the leading coins. He expressed caution for investors eyeing smaller cryptocurrencies, warning that those coins may struggle with liquidity when it comes time to sell. In general, a significant share of trading volume remains concentrated around BTC, ETH, and stablecoins.

When discussing market capitalization, Dr. Han Lin remarked that Bitcoin is closing in on Facebook's market cap. He anticipates that within the next one to two years, Bitcoin may very well surpass that figure. Although Bitcoin's market cap dipped from 2022 to 2023 amid a market downturn, it has seen an upward trend this year. Notably, Bitcoin continues to hold dominance, representing over half of the entire cryptocurrency market cap.

Dr. Han Lin also mentioned that

is currently leading the charge in the blockchain domain, with ambitions to outpace Ethereum as the most utilized blockchain. However, Ethereum still enjoys the highest trading volume and total value locked (TVL) on decentralized exchanges, as well as the largest active developer community. Solana In his presentation, Dr. Han Lin noted that while internet users have multiplied over the last two decades, the growth of cryptocurrency users has outpaced that, jumping from just 1 million users a decade ago to more than 500 million active users today.
