Binance, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, has released its H1 2023 report, highlighting the crypto market’s resilience despite challenges. 

The crypto market capitalization ended the period on a positive note, showing signs of recovery. Bitcoin’s dominance reached its highest level since April 2021, with an impressive year-to-date price performance of over 87%, outperforming many traditional financial investments. The emergence of Ordinals and Inscriptions has energized the Bitcoin ecosystem, promising continued development and innovation in the coming months.

The first half saw significant developments in Layer 1 networks, with Ethereum’s liquid staking reaching new heights, giving rise to LSTfi. BNB Chain focused on scalability, while Solana and Tron made notable strides in their respective ecosystems. Avalanche and Cosmos also advanced through subnets, partnerships, and shared economic security models.

In the Layer 2 space, optimistic rollups remained dominant, while ZK rollups achieved new heights with the launch of fully functional zkEVMs. The industry witnessed a convergence of major players around the concept of networks of blockchains, such as L3s, Superchains, and Hyperchains.

The stablecoin sector underwent significant reshaping, with USDT experiencing a remarkable 25.8% increase in market share YTD, leading it to break away from the major trio of stablecoins.

DeFi demonstrated remarkable growth, driven by the ascent of liquid staking and user migration to DEXes. However, DeFi’s dominance experienced a slight decline compared to the overall crypto market.

NFTs saw higher trading volume in H1 2023, driven by increased activity on the Blur marketplace. However, NFT collections’ floor prices declined YTD, underperforming the broader crypto market.

Gaming-related tokens experienced positive price trends, benefiting from the market recovery. Over 67% of games are built on BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Polygon.

According to Binancee’s report the first half witnessed a decline in overall crypto deal activities and venture capital funding. Infrastructure projects attracted the most investments, followed by gaming/entertainment and DeFi.
