Here are some Blockchain Trends which are expected to be seen in 2024

Blockchain as a service (BaaS)

Since startups and enterprises are working on their own blockchain solution, itโ€™s not always feasible to create and manage one.

Thatโ€™s where BaaS comes in handy. Blockchain as a Service (BaaS) is basically an offering that allows customers to leverage cloud-based solutions to build, host, and use their own blockchain applications, functions, and smart contracts on the blockchain.

Moving from crypto to digital assets

With various indicators pointing towards the possibility of a global slowdown this year, investors are looking for alternative asset classes.

With the market developing for security tokens, there are tremendous possibilities in the tokenization of well-performing assets that previously lacked liquidity.

More Security Tokens

In 2024, the utility token market witnessed a slowdown, so the arrival of security tokens will be one of the hot topics this year.

The market has waited for the grand entrance of institutional investors for a long time, but they havenโ€™t yet somewhat entered the scene. The success of security tokens is contingent on digital asset exchange being up and running.

More digital asset services by financial institutions

This trend was initiated last year and, most likely, will continue in 2024.

The user experience of managing your own assets might be scary for a lot of people, also there is a tenacious desire from a business point of view to have custodial services for digital assets.

While many businesses are eyeing for new blockchain use cases, some are circumfusing the cryptocurrency market.

UX Development and scalability

Both enterprise and public adoption are affected by scalability and performance hurdles. Promising solutions, like innovative platforms or sidechains, are expected to follow sophistication and are likely to be adopted this year.

Furthermore, many blockchain apps mostly have a complex user interface, which isnโ€™t very intuitive for a non-tech user.

Thus, in 2024 expectations are to see more user-friendly solutions, which are capable of promoting mass adoption both in technology and design.

More favorable regulations around the world

European countries like Switzerland, Lithuania, Malta, and Liechtenstein will see competition around the world heating up as various states push forward for additional favorable regulations around blockchain and crypto-ventures.

Malaysia, for instance, is planning to review its crypto and ICO (Initial Coin Offering) regulations in Q1.

Stablecoins

Stablecoins could also witness a boost in 2019. Cryptocurrency is the side product of blockchain, but they are volatile in nature.

That gives more market propulsion to Stablecoins. Stablecoins have stable prices, unlike cryptocurrencies. Itโ€™s not affected by the market condition, thus ensuring stability at all times.
