2023 Q2 Crypto Industry Report

The crypto market underwent consolidation in Q2, following Ethereum’s successful Shapella upgrade in April. Yet, there is never a dull moment in crypto – LSDs may have surged in popularity and NFTs faced its share of challenges, but this quarter’s drama was served up by the US SEC. Regulation takes center stage as Coinbase and Binance face lawsuits for allegedly operating illegal securities exchanges. Meanwhile, BlackRock’s application for a spot bitcoin ETF marked a positive end to the quarter, with the total crypto market cap closing Q2 at $1.24 trillion.
