Stablecoin Usage Patterns Reveal East-West Divide in Blockchain Adoption

PANews reported on November 13th that crypto analyst Route 2 FI posted that in November 2021, there were 477 projects with a market capitalization exceeding $100 million, while now that number has dropped to 388 (including stablecoins). His analysis is as follows: 1. November 2021 was almost the peak of altcoins in the previous cycle, and altcoins haven't truly experienced a crazy surge in this cycle; 2. At that time, tokens with low circulating supply and high fully diluted valuations (FDV) were uncommon. If ranked by the number of projects with a fully diluted valuation exceeding $100 million, this number should be higher now than in 2021; 3. Liquidity and funds are increasingly concentrated in fewer, larger projects, meaning that even with an increase in total market capitalization, smaller altcoins will find it difficult to achieve high valuations; 4. After several rounds of hype, retail and institutional investors are more cautious, favoring tokens and ecosystems with practical value and proven track records, rather than speculative tokens. In addition, the analyst mentioned that there were 1,153 projects with a market value of over $10 million in 2021, while the number has now reached 1,227, and he originally thought the number would be higher.
