Crypto Fundamentals Outpace Prices as Industry Focus Shifts
The crypto market has reached an inflection point, according to CEOs of two major US companies. Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley claims that for the first time in his eight years working in the sector, technological integration is progressing faster than price growth.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong agrees with this assessment, stating that the industry's focus has shifted from short-term price cycles to modernizing financial rails.
This shift can be attributed to several parallel processes. The tokenization of stocks and bonds on blockchain platforms has become a standard practice, generating direct revenue for DeFi protocols.
Stablecoin market capitalization has exceeded $300 billion, establishing the digital dollar as a tool for international B2B settlements.
