 NEW YEAR, WHO DIS=20

5 crypto storylines to watch in 2023

Crypto=E2=80=99s 2022 was tumultuous, to say the least. The year began with=
 NFT sales=20
volumes peaking in January, and ended with many assets down 90% or more as=
=20
FTX=E2=80=99s demise dominated headlines (There weresome positive developme=

 So,=20
what can we expect to see in 2023? Here=E2=80=99s a look at some of the key=
 themes and=20
storylines that crypto experts believe could emerge this year.

Investors will continue to de-risk crypto portfolios

The 2021 bull market saw institutional and retail investors alike taking on=
=20
outsized risks in crypto investments. Expect far less of that in 2023,says=
=20
<https://www.coinbase.com/institutional/research-insights/research/market-i=
ntelligence/2023-crypto-market-outlook>
 David Duong, Head of Institutional Research at Coinbase. Investors will li=
kely=20
focus on high quality assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, which still have st=
rong=20
narratives, Duong says. Bitcoin is becoming less volatile, with 85% of hold=
ers=20
keeping their investments for more than 155 days, and Ethereum=E2=80=99s re=
cent and=20
forthcoming upgrades are solidifying it as the predominant layer-1 blockcha=
in.



Crypto technology will see some highly anticipated updates

After the long-awaited Merge upgrade in September, Ethereum=E2=80=99s netwo=
rk will see=20
more updates in 2023. The Shanghai update, expected in March, will allow th=
ose=20
whostaked <https://www.coinbase.com/learn/crypto-basics/what-is-staking>=20
Ethereum to begin unlocking their rewards. The upgrade will also pave the w=

<https://decrypt.co/117392/crypto-crystal-ball-biggest-trends-to-watch-in-2=

, that many see as key to Ethereum=E2=80=99s future as a secure and reliabl=
e network=20
that=E2=80=99s also fast and cheap.

Zero-knowledge rollups (ZKR), a long-awaited scaling solution, are also=20

<https://www.theblock.co/post/198755/the-block-researchs-analysts-2023-pred=
ictions#:~:text=3DGeneral%2Dpurpose%20zk%2Drollups%20will%20finally%20launc=
h%20in%202023>
 across several blockchains in 2023. A key issue plaguing current networks =
is a=20
limited ability to process large numbers of transactions. ZKRs allow millio=
ns=20
of transactions to be bundled into a single transaction, enabling them to b=
e=20
settled faster and more cheaply while also maintaining the privacy of each=
=20
user. Polygon, zkSync, Scroll, StarkWare, Loopring are among the layer-2=20
blockchains that are planning to release ZKRs.



Stablecoin regulation could get passed in the U.S.

The incoming Chair of the House Financial Services Committee, Rep. Patrick=
=20
McHenry (R-NC), has been working on astablecoin regulation bill=20
<https://fortune.com/crypto/2022/10/12/rep-mchenry-confident-stablecoin-leg=

 for years alongside Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA). 2023 might be the year it=
=20
happens, crypto policy experts say, especially after the collapse of the $4=
0=20
billion UST stablecoin last spring. =E2=80=9CIf anything moves, stablecoin =
regulation=20
seems to be the area where action is most likely to occur legislatively,=E2=

believes =E2=80=9Cglobal adoption is probably the number one story=E2=80=9D=
 for 2023.



More countries will test and implement CBDCs

China, Jamaica, and The Bahamas are among the 11 countries that have launch=
ed=20
