Trends to Watch in 2023
This year, we’re seeing some exciting trends in the crypto world. With the dust settling from 2022’s turmoil, it’s time to look ahead and identify which industries may soar and which ones might still be catching some serious turbulence.
Learning from the Collapse of DeFi
2022’s DeFi debacle was like watching a circus act gone wrong. High yields might sound enticing, but they led to a big, inflatable collapse—like if someone took away the safety net. Our host, Ray Salmond, discusses with Grant Shears on what projects are rising from the ashes and how they plan to fix the mess left behind.
A Safer Bet: Traditional Finance vs. DeFi
In 2023, the stakes changed when traditional finance (TradFi) finally got its groove back, with yields stepping up their game, reaching between 1% to 4.65%. Meanwhile, DeFi remains tempting but risky. What can DeFi do to level up in a world where traditional options feel like a cozy blanket of safety? Salmond digs into these concerns with Shears, unraveling how DeFi could climb back into the spotlight.
The Scoop on NFT-Fi
What’s NFT-Fi? A magical realm where the blockchain meets the world of NFTs to bolster financial options! Wait, you didn’t hear of it until now? Well, Shears breaks it down in layman’s terms, discussing its purpose and potential for solving some of the sector’s biggest headaches.
Technical Analysis: A Peek into Market Movements
Next up is serious number-crunching as the pair ventures into the current market dynamics surrounding Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), and some popular altcoins. Are we looking at a price rally or a classic bull trap? With keen eyes, Salmond and Shears analyze the pressing factors driving these cryptocurrencies today.
Shanghai Upgrade and Staked ETH Unlocks
Exciting upgrade news is peeking out from behind the curtains—will the staked ETH unlocks associated with the Shanghai upgrade be a game-changer or just another chance to ‘buy the rumor, sell the news’? Shears lends his expertise to decipher what this could mean for the potential bull run, leaving crypto enthusiasts with holding their breath.
The Big Question: Will 2023 Revive Crypto Interest?
Last but definitely not least, the show dives into people’s ongoing love affair with crypto. Will 2023 ignite fresh enthusiasm among investors, or will we need to wait for 2024 before seeing any serious action? The crystal ball isn’t providing clear visions, but Shears shares his thoughts, reminding us that, in crypto, the only certainty is uncertainty.
