Sergey Nazarov, co-founder of Chainlink, a blockchain oracle platform, recently presented his thoughts on the potential future narrative for cryptocurrency. Speaking at the Token2049 event in Dubai, he discussed the possibilities for expansion in the crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) sector and the potential catalysts for greater mainstream uptake of Web3 and digital assets.
Nazarov anticipates further approval of Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs which could pave the way for ETFs for alternative coins and tokens. He suggested that, in addition to BTC and Ether (ETH), there are other tokens that could qualify for their own ETFs. He said, "The trend for ETFs will likely not just persist but multiply in the year to come."
Nazarov also elaborated on how tokenized real-world assets (RWA) could be created by Web3 enterprises and banks in the forthcoming years. He foresees a growing integration of the Web3 sphere with traditional financial systems through RWA. He prophesied that in about three to four years, bank assets might be procured by Web3 protocols and reciprocally, Web3 assets could be bought by banks.
In Nazarov's view, there is a need to enhance the user-friendliness of crypto to accelerate its adoption into the mainstream. "Crypto's usability has room for considerable improvement," he observed, adding that there is much work ahead in that area. Nazarov then identified 'usability', 'scalability', 'connectivity', and 'privacy' as the four fundamental elements that would encourage broader adoption of the crypto industry.
In his summarizing comments, Nazarov indicated that the crypto industry is steadily approaching these objectives and will continue to "expand the boundaries of what is feasible.
