The Q3 report focuses on the trending topics in the crypto space and points out the future trends in each section. It analyzes the unique financial and economic attributes of GameFi that will continue to capture massive users and indicates the long-term compliance risks it may face. In addition, the report comments on DeFi as it entered a stable period with tightening global regulations after its explosive growth in Q2.
Following the heat of DeFi Summer, other trending areas such as NFT, GameFi, and SocialFi emerged by creating more value while aggregating an increasing amount of capital in the growing sectors. By diving deep into the blockchain infrastructure, the report also evaluates the current stage of Layer2 and figures out the intensifying market competition as Layer2 matures and when ETH 2.0 finally approaches.
The research findings also point out the great potential of further development in the Metaverse infrastructure, such as the tier architecture of the underlying blockchain, NFT, server and cross-chain stability architecture that constitute the trade chain of the virtual world; back-end infrastructure like GPU, artificial intelligence and cloud computing that supports the infrastructure of the Metaverse; and VR, AR, smart wearable device and other front-end that support the immersive experience.
