This week, Serdar Serdengecti, Listing Director at HTX, was invited to participate in the roundtable discussion during the 2024 Istanbul Blockchain Week, themed “Ushering in the New Wave of Trading”, where he shared his insights on the concept of the “New Wave of Trading.” HTX Square has compiled Serdengecti’s remarks, as detailed below:

Q1: Defining the “New Wave of Trading”?

A: The “New Wave of Trading” represents a significant evolution in how we engage with cryptocurrencies. Let’s explore what sets this new wave apart:

• Accessibility: Trading has become more inclusive, thanks to user-friendly interfaces and mobile apps. This makes the world of crypto trading more approachable, even for those who may not have a technical background.
• Institutional Adoption: Major players in traditional finance are entering the crypto space, lending legitimacy and drawing in a broader base of investors.
• Innovation: The rise of DeFi, NFTs, and advanced trading tools is opening new and exciting avenues for trading, redefining the possibilities in the market.
• Regulation: The introduction of more regulation is aimed at bringing greater stability and security to the crypto ecosystem.

Breaking it down further we can also see 3 stages: 

• Wave 1: Projects with high FDV and low circulation are prevalent. Top projects have valuations from hundreds of billions to nearly a trillion, while mid-level projects face immense selling pressure in the tens of billions. The market cannot absorb this.
• Wave 2: Public blockchains, like L2s, become empty. This round saw significant infrastructure development mainly aimed at the coming bull market. In previous cycles, limited infrastructure and abundant new funds led to effectiveness—everyone was just speculating.
• Wave 3: Innovation decreases, users decline, and making money becomes harder. With too many projects and too few users, it becomes increasingly difficult for users to profit.

Q2: What are the key elements of the New Wave of Trading and how do these elements impact current trading methods?

A: 1. Innovation

• New Technology Applications: Introduces cutting-edge technologies such as DeFi, smart contracts, AI, and cross-chain technology, driving fundamental changes in trading methods.
• Introduction of New Assets: Converts real-world assets (e.g., real estate, stocks) into digital tokens, allowing these assets to be traded and ownership to be divided on blockchain platforms.
• Use of Machine Learning and AI: Enhances market insights and automating aspects of trading, offering traders deeper analysis and more informed decision-making.

2. Diversity

• Expansion of Asset Classes: Introduces new asset classes such as tokenized real-world assets, NFTs, and assets in virtual worlds, broadening investment and trading options.
• Diversification of Trading Platforms and Tools: Offers a variety of trading platforms (e.g., DEX and CEX) and tools to meet the needs of different traders.
• Innovation in Investment Models: Introduces models like social trading, DAO investment funds, and Play-to-Earn, enriching investment and trading methods.

3. Decentralization and Centralization Coexist and Integrate

• Centralized exchanges and decentralized exchanges have long coexisted, catering to different trading needs.
• The emergence of more CeDeFi and RWA projects signifies the potential for integration between decentralization and centralization, leading to new changes in trading models and asset management paradigms.

4. Security Enhancements

• Improved security protocols and custodial services are crucial in building trust and safeguarding user assets in an increasingly complex environment.

5. Rise of Stablecoins

• Cryptocurrencies pegged to traditional assets, such as the US dollar, provide price stability, which is particularly valuable in a volatile market.

Q3: What are HTX’s recent successes and strategic moves?

A: At HTX, we are actively contributing to and shaping this new wave by:

• Prioritizing User Experience: We focus on developing user-friendly interfaces and providing educational resources to empower all traders, regardless of their experience level.
• Embracing Innovation: We’re integrating DeFi protocols and offering innovative products such as staking and margin trading, providing our users with cutting-edge opportunities.
• Fostering Security: We implement rigorous security measures and cold storage solutions to ensure that our users’ assets are well-protected.
• Supporting Crypto Listings: Our listing process is designed to ensure that only high-quality projects are featured on our platform.

Q4: Future Expectations?

A: The cryptocurrency market is exceptionally dynamic, with constant evolution in trading trends and technologies. As we look into the future, several emerging trends and technological innovations are poised to shape the landscape of crypto trading. Here’s an overview of what we might expect:

• Mainstream Adoption and Institutional Investment

As regulatory clarity improves and the infrastructure supporting crypto matures, we can expect increased mainstream adoption and significant institutional investment. This trend will likely bring more liquidity to the market, reduce volatility, and encourage the development of more advanced trading platforms and tools tailored to institutional traders.

• Advanced Trading Algorithms and AI

The use of AI and machine learning in crypto trading will become more prevalent, offering traders advanced tools for market analysis, prediction, and automated trading. These technologies can help identify market trends, optimize trading strategies, and manage risks more effectively, giving traders a competitive edge.

• Cross-Chain and Interoperability Solutions

The future of crypto trading will likely see enhanced interoperability among different blockchain networks, enabling smoother and more efficient transactions across various cryptocurrencies and assets. This could lead to the emergence of cross-chain trading platforms that allow users to trade assets across different blockchains without needing to rely on centralized exchanges or multiple wallets.

TON and Solana Blink are two examples. TON is connecting Web2 users and Web3 developers, allowing us to use credit cards to buy NFTs/crypto currencies. Blink enables people to buy Meme coins directly through Twitter posts shared by friends or KOLs.

• Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and Stablecoins

The potential widespread adoption of CBDCs and the continued popularity of stablecoins could significantly impact crypto trading. These digital currencies may provide more stability and reliability in the market, act as a bridge between traditional finance and cryptocurrencies, and potentially introduce a new realm of trading pairs and strategies.

• Continued Regulatory Clarity

Ongoing regulatory developments will likely encourage further institutional adoption, creating a more stable and secure trading environment.

In conclusion, the future of crypto trading is likely to be marked by significant technological advancements, regulatory developments, and shifts in trader behavior. Staying informed and adaptable will be crucial for success in this rapidly evolving space.
