defi: Crypto trends in Q3 2021 and most anticipated events in incoming weeks

What events (othen than EIP 1559 and the ETH2.0) in crypto and blockchain space are most anticipated in your opinion?

Taproot. Maybe right now, as you say, we are all talking about EIP1559 and the imminent ETH 2.0, but the long-awaited upgrade in Bitcoin is not lagging behind, whose main objective is to bring smart contracts to its ecosystem and allow it to be experienced from another perspective. Right now the topic only takes place in some blogs dedicated to Bitcoin but in a few weeks I'm sure I'll start to see it on other sites that are much more massive and with more people participating. Perhaps there is no greater novelty when talking about smart contracts, but for Bitcoin users who proclaim themselves Maximalists, this can be a new market entry point to the DeFi world for those who refuse to give up their $btc or simply they see any other new proposal on a project as an attempt to take away their precious asset or as a scam. On the other hand, in the Cardano ecosystem, the launch of the first DEX (sundaeswap) is underway, which I think is also very important considering the development time it has taken to get to this point. Cardano is one of my favorite projects and I think it will also be a focus of attention in the medium term

Everyone is still waiting for what regulators in the EU & the USA will be doing regarding this whole space especially after countries like El Salvador making a big move by declaring Bitcoin as a legal tender. The official launch of central bank digital currencies (CBDC) is also another factor to consider. China many believe will be the first to launch theirs. Finally, we're going to see more activity in the DAO (decentralized autonomous organization) area and believe this will be the next hyped up thing in the crypto space after DeFi & NFTs.

What events (othen than EIP 1559 and the ETH2.0) in crypto and blockchain space are most anticipated in your opinion?

Personally Ill be watching how some of the new generation of blockchains e.g. Cosmos & Polkadot. Since I've started to become aware of how these newer gen blockchains actually work, it will progress the crypto world but I do wonder if these chains that offer inter chain trading as well as private blockchain networks all work as intended. I am hedging my bets since being affected by ERC20 tokens migrating to other networks such as Polkadot private blockchains and being totally unaware of the migration period and now have redundant ERC20 tokens I was hodl'ing but now are totally worthless. I personally will take a step back from actively trading, hodl'ing and using DeFi apps until I see signs that I wont see a repeat of my losses as well as seeing cross chain tolerance i.e. being able to easily use one blockchains token on another blockchains tokens network.

Exciting times. Bitcoin got a haircut, and is now implementing Taproot. Cardano will implement smart contracts. Stacks is building on the Bitcoin blockchain and we will see a variety of dApps actually deploy. There are a variety of Ether bridges taking shape which will allow Defi investment from sources of value not seen before. But mostly we are seeing the usual Bureaucratic dithering when it comes to Crypto regulation, except this time, Crypto actually matters from a national economic standpoint, so it’s time for the governments of many nations to make some decisions. The lawsuit against Ripple looks to be sputtering its way to an end and I believe that we will see some governmental decisiveness as a result. So, hold on tight, folks! This rollercoaster is nearing the top of the hill. It’s time to throw your hands in the air and scream like a little girl.

What events (othen than EIP 1559 and the ETH2.0) in crypto and blockchain space are most anticipated in your opinion?

EIP 1559 is a big thing. Another one is that smart contracts will be working in August on the Cardano Blockchain. I think this will be a huge boost for ADA. There are numerous updates and news one so many projects. I think NFTs and DEFI will be having a huge run again. Plus the major coins like ETH, ADA; DOT; KSM, BNB, LINK, SOL, MATIC and the like.

What events (othen than EIP 1559 and the ETH2.0) in crypto and blockchain space are most anticipated in your opinion?

Crypto Trends in Q3 2021 1. Bitcoin "hoarding" reaches its peak. 2. End of positive correlation between Bitcoin & Ether prices. 3. Start of demonetising of Gold, due to price stability of Bitcoin. 4. Crypto currencies start to divide into different asset classes. 5. Increased security for DeFi protocols and markets. 6. The NFT market reaches its highest level ever. The Q3 will be as exciting as Q1 of 2021 for All Things Crypto and we will have our "First Billion People" experiencing The BlockChain Revolution...

The EIP 1559 and ETH 2.0 upgrade are nice and unarguably the most anticipated crypto events in 2021, but I have a few more that I look forward to and they are as follows 1. Global DeFi Summit 2021: The annual gathering of DeFiers in the blockchain and cryptocurrency community. This is something big and needs to be highly anticipated 2. AIBC Africa 2022 This will come off the cusp of the first AIBC Digital summit as part of SiGMA Asia Digital Summit, which brought together over 100 speakers, taking part in more than 40 panel discussions or speeches. Scheduled to take place Online on 22 – 23 March 2022

I anticipate the launch of an NFT and Defi launchpad that takes care of liquidity and scalability issues new users face on the constant. It will be great to see such implementation within the crypto space.

Well I feel Eth2.0 upgrade and ethereum based projects are meant for the elite due to its exorbitant gas fee from my own point of view I think defi projects are about to surprise the crypto market and the foreign exchange as a whole. Defi took everyone by surprise let's take uniswap as an example after airdropping UNI worth $2500 to users of its platform and it also offered a means of gaining more UNI by providing liquidity on its platform which we call staking .These strategies can make more people partake in defi space built on Binance smart chain blockchain.
