A new report from the trading platform CoinList analyzed the future of the crypto industry after polling nearly 5,000 of its users.

The market thinks we have an interesting year ahead
In its year-end cryptocurrency report, CoinList surveyed nearly 5,000 community members about Bitcoin price predictions, Tier 1 platforms, NFT use cases, and everything in between.
CoinList allows users to buy, trade and monetize new cryptocurrencies before listing them on other exchanges. It was one of the first platforms to offer new and exotic coins to users such as Filecoin (FILE), Flow (FLOW) and Solana (SOL). As such, CoinList also contributed to the popularity of these tokens in the past year.
When asked what projects they would like to be engaged in on CoinList next year, most users answered that these are gaming projects. At the same time, they are equally enthusiastic about the decentralized financial sector, because over 52% of those surveyed would like more DeFi tokens.
NFT lags far behind, with 41.6% of users supporting this asset, which won’t explode until 2021.

Just because the market is focused on DeFi doesn’t mean it doesn’t want to interact with bitcoin.

More than 28% of respondents say it will remain below $ 100,000, and only 6.1% believe it will exceed $ 250,000.

El Salvador’s ambitious plans for bitcoin have led many to ponder the impact of the adoption of cryptocurrency as legal tender on other countries. More than 87% of respondents believe other central banks will follow in El Salvador’s footsteps and embrace digital assets as legal tender. Only 12.7% believe that this is a far-fetched idea, and it will not gain widespread acceptance.
