1/ Utility Boom: In 2024, we expect that funding will rebound with a renewed focus on companies solving real-world problems and not centered purely around infrastructure – we’re going beyond this and focusing on the utility behind the tech.
There’s recently been a major resurgence in payments, with crypto’s democratization of finance front and center. While many have previously focused on the speculative, users are now moving back to the tried and true baseline use case: payments.
2/ Closing in on Traditional Fintech: 2023 saw increased interest in crypto from fintech companies, and according to Ripple’s 2023 New Value Report, 3/4 of financial institutions are likely to explore digital asset services in the next 3 years, especially for cross-border payments. In 2024, we anticipate an increase in fintech + crypto partnerships to close the gap between emerging and existing financial technologies to resolve legacy pain points.
TL;DR – Fintechs must adopt blockchain and crypto to be successful in the year ahead, and we expect to see greater collaboration amongst fintech and
crypto companies to keep up with the pace of innovation.
3/ Stablecoins dominate outside the US: While USD-backed stablecoins have largely been leaders in the market to date, according to @Chainalysis research, the majority of stablecoin inflows to the 50 biggest cryptocurrency services have shifted from US-licensed services to non-US-licensed services since spring 2023.
In 2024, we will see stablecoins from non-g7 currencies take off - creating a new entry point and gateway to crypto, providing exposure to currencies for consumers and allowing them to pay people and move money in real-time.
2️⃣ A major U.S. retailer will accept a cryptocurrency as a form of payment, allowing Americans the ability to use blockchain-based payments for everyday purchases.
2/ As 2024 approaches, EvM sees a “new era of finance” emerging featuring trusted utility, adoption by traditional financial institutions, and regulatory alignment.
3/ We’ve already started to witness the convergence of TradFi & DeFi solutions, a pattern that will only accelerate over the coming months & years. Five years ago, crypto was considered a dirty word by global FIs, yet in the past twelve months, we’ve seen these same players show more interest than ever in harnessing the power of blockchain.
4/ Skepticism toward crypto is abating as institutions begin to recognize the extent to which services [like Ripple’s] can plug into their tech stack & drive value, creating new revenue streams, enhancing customer benefits, and delivering material financial returns. The industry is maturing and next year it will help banks embrace the future of financial services.
