Vitalik Buterin reveals 3 ‘huge’ opportunities for crypto in 2023
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has shared three “huge" opportunities yet to be realized in crypto, including mass crypto wallet adoption, inflation-resistant stablecoins, and Ethereum-powered website logins.
During an interview with Bankless co-owner David Hoffman, Buterin shared his outlook for the crypto industry in 2023, responding to Hoffman’s raised concern that the “adoption wave” for decentralized applications is now over and that there’s “less opportunity” for developers to come in and build new decentralized applications.
Buterin instead shrugged off the “limbo period” that Hoffman eluded to, firstly suggesting that more developments need to be made on cryptocurrency wallet infrastructure in order to make it easier to use for everyday people and ensure that it is capable of onboarding billions of users.
“If you can make a wallet that a billion people will use — that’s a huge opportunity,” the Ethereum co-founder said.
Secondly, Buterin said the creation of a hyperinflation-resistant and globally accessible stablecoin that can withstand all types of conditions — both on-chain and in the broader macroeconomy — would be a revolution for the industry:
Though Buterin didn’t offer any technical suggestions as to how this could be achieved.
Lastly, Buterin said any technical developments that contribute towards Ethereum taking login powers away from Facebook, Google, Twitter and other centralized monopolies would ultimately enable Ethereum to capture more market dominance on internet-based applications:
Buterin did however state that the opportunity to fill market gaps was becoming less obvious due to increasing competition and the maturation of the market.
