TL;DR, all trends mentioned: • Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSDs) • Ethereum L2s and zkEVMs • Decentralized Stablecoins • Real-world assets (RWA) • NFT financialization • Account Abstraction • Increased adoption of DeFi platforms and decentralization

The top 3 common trends mentioned among several KOLs are: • L2 scaling solutions & Zk-Rollups • Growth of LSDs • Real-world-assets

Below is their favorite trend: • @rektdiomedes - Synthetics He's a big macro/TradFi nerd and likes the emergent synthesis of macro and DeFi. • @crypto_ita2 - L2 solutions for ETH "I'm a software engineer so I love the tech side of crypto more than the speculative one."

• @thedefiedge Decentralized stablecoins It is a crucial aspect of the crypto industry that will secure freedom and prevent points of failure. • @DeFiMinty' growth of NFTFi There's a lot of untapped potential with NFTs and it's the closest to mainstream culture and adoption.

• @TheDeFinvestor rise of Ethereum L2s. The best for L2s is yet to come and it's exciting to see the Ethereum vision of scaling through rollups becoming a reality. • @Louround_ Increased adoption and decentralization of DeFi, Ethereum scaling solutions & copy trading.

• @TheDeFISaint L2s. This is just the beginning. More of them are still launched on Mainnet with no token and much speculation for airdrop, and we’ll keep seeing redistribution of TVL inflow.

As for me? Smart accounts (Account Abstraction) I want more funding to flow towards teams working to make crypto easy to use and hope that it will bring 1 billion people to the crypto world. twitter.com/DefiIgnas/status/1641058491501805568

"What's the project that has great potential and would still exist in three years?" • @rektdiomedes - FRAX • @crypto_ita2 - Uniswap, Aave, Compound, Gains, Dopex, and OpenSea • @TheDeFinvestor - EigenLayer • @thedefiedge - FRAX

• @Louround_ - Ethereum • @DeFiMinty - Chainlink • @TheDeFISaint - Vela Exchange • @DefiIgnas - Ethereum and Bitcoin (boring, I know).
