Binance Research Quarter 4 Report

A team at Binance Research released its State of Crypto: Market Pulse report for Quarter 4 of 2022. Consisting mostly of graphs and data, the report highlighted how the year ended with a general downward trend, but several indications show a strong 2023 could be on the way.

The 45-page report of slides, released on January 27, reviewed several key verticles across the industry and gave a general assessment of the industry’s end-of-the-year performance. The overall market pulse is still positive despite the 15% decline in the market capitalization of the industry.

Here are some of the trends from industry verticles in the report:

• Layer 1s: General downtrend with Solana as an outlier
• DeFi: Long downtrend across 2022
• Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs): Down in Q4 but up for all of 2022.
