Coinbase's presence at the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos signals growing mainstream adoption of crypto. Meanwhile, the Davos focus on real-world assets this year foreshadows major moves by players like Avalanche, which facilitates such assets on blockchain. Stablecoin regulation also looks increasingly likely in 2024 according to Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire, with bipartisan support in Congress. This could set the stage for a breakout year in legitimizing certain crypto assets.
Other developments to watch include a highly anticipated airdrop from DeFi protocol Jupiter on January 31st, which could bring huge attention and users to the Solana ecosystem. Apple's Vision Pro headset launch could also ignite interest and development around spatial computing, virtual reality and associated crypto projects. And upcoming Coinbase and Meta earnings reports in January may reveal stunning reversals of fortune for both companies as crypto and metaverse bets seem to be paying off more than critics expected.
On the policy front, an SEC vs. Coinbase court decision on January 17th could have major implications depending on the outcome. And review of the recent SEC hack by Senators may influence crypto regulation debates going forward. Meanwhile, appearances by Ripple, Grayscale and others around digital assets at Davos draws global elite interest.
Overall, January shapes up to be an eventful month between blockchain conferences, tech product releases, crypto platform upgrades, major token distributions, and regulatory/legal happenings – all setting the tone for markets and industry momentum heading into 2024.
