What else does 2022 have to offer us? According to William Quigley, quite a lot. The cryptocurrency fund manager at Magnetic is also the co-founder of Tether, the world’s most traded cryptocurrency, and WAX, a purpose-built blockchain for virtual items in video games.
Reviews of crypto projects
The valuations of many private crypto companies are probably overstated.
The projects should first of all do justice to such assessments. In addition, many massive VC financings are open, which the companies should still repay. Only then can ordinary shareholders receive proceeds from a sale, but many first-time entrepreneurs do not understand this dynamic.

If Metaverse means an open and permissionless blockchain-based environment, established Web2 companies are unlikely to support such a project. New market participants will take over this and that means a long development period.

Apple and Google are against the core principles of blockchain-based environments. None of them will contain the coveted advantages of the blockchain, which make the Metaverse concept a desirable alternative to the current Internet ecosystem.
Forecasts for DeFi 2022
DeFi has held up quite well during the crypto crash. However, the concept suffers from confusion with blockchain companies such as Celsius, Luna and BlockFi, which have performed particularly poorly in recent months…
