6 Predictions for Crypto in 2024: Pantera’s Paul Veradittakit

As we reach the end of 2023, we have perhaps made it through the worst of the bear market, turning over the page on the series of brutal collapses that we have seen over the past year and a half, and ready to begin exploring novel use cases. Today, we’re at an inflection point, where crypto is no longer solely about financialization, but rather a broader idea of how we redefine consumer, social, and developer experiences using blockchains.

Ripple Strengthens Its European Presence with Acquisition of Pantera’s State at Bitstamp Crypto Exchange in Q1

XRP price gained more than 34% YTD to trade around $0.45 as Ripple widens its portfolio in Europe.

Pantera’s Paul Veradittakit’s 2022 Predictions

To maintain DeFi’s pace of adoption, it’s absolutely critical that we develop even more protocols and tooling to ensure that users are interacting with safe financial products in crypto. Projects like Forta, which enables dapps to monitor runtime security, and Nexus Mutual, which offers dapp users insurance against smart contract exploits, have already made significant headway in securing the crypto financial ecosystem. Still, there remain a great many vulnerabilities in the smart contracts powering DeFi, the majority of which we still don’t know. In 2022, I expect to see security…
