In 2022, he predicted an “explosion of activity based on Ethereum” and first-level solutions, or aimed at improving the underlying protocol. Bitwise spokesman highlighted sectors DeFi, NFT, Web 3.0 and the metaverse, and the growing potential of altcoins.
“Investors will be looking at Ethereum, Solana or Polygon. They are beginning to understand that cryptocurrency is more than just bitcoin, ”admitted Hugan.
