The encryption industry moves into the mainstream, with 22 authoritative awards witnessing the highlights of the year.
The crypto market moves towards mainstream, 22 authoritative awards born
2024 is an important year for the encryption industry to move towards the mainstream. The successful listing of Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs has opened the doors to traditional finance. After the Bitcoin halving, the price surged, and mainstream media attention significantly increased. The liquidity of stablecoins continues to grow, and on-chain activities are heating up. Meme coins are rising, and the MEME cycle is in full explosion. The combination of AI and encryption has become a new hotspot, and Agent has become a new standard configuration for trading.
Against this backdrop, a well-known media outlet held an annual selection event themed "Becoming Mainstream", aiming to recognize outstanding projects, teams, and individuals that have promoted the industry into the mainstream spotlight. After more than a month of registration, voting, and professional evaluation, a total of 141 projects/companies and 10 individuals stood out and received 22 authoritative annual awards.
