Everything You Need to Know About Crypto Growth in 2024

Hey everyone,

When I reflect on 2024 in crypto, the first thing that comes to mind is Notcoin blowing up—so many of my friends were making bank off it! This project basically kickstarted the “Tap2Earn” era, blending gaming with crypto rewards and creating a wild ride of highs (like the Bitcoin halving) and lows (like the security breaches we saw in Q2).

One under-the-radar trend this year has been mass adoption by first-time users. Newcomers are dipping their toes into crypto through centralized exchanges (CEXs) like Bitget, Coinbase, and Crypto.com before venturing into decentralized platforms (DEXs). Interestingly, while giants like Binance and OKX saw slower growth compared to 2023, these newer-friendly CEXs onboarded tons of users into Web3.

Another standout insight comes from Foresight Ventures, which reported that 60% of global crypto adoption and fresh liquidity in 2024 originated in Asia. But here’s a thought: could unexpected players like TRUMP (political tokens?) or MENALIA (community-driven projects?) shift the momentum toward North or South America in the future?

What’s your take? Will CEXs stay the go-to for beginners, or will DEXs catch up? And which regions do you think will dominate crypto’s next growth phase? Let’s chat!
