Bitcoin orgy has come to an end? Experts: It will fall to $10,000 in 2022

Bryan Gross, head of networking at crypto platform ICHI, said decentralized finance (DeFi) and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) "are probably the fastest growing segments of the crypto space." while DeFi aims to reinvent traditional financial products without middlemen, DAOs can be seen as a new type of Internet community.

Data shows that total DeFi protocol lock-in exceeded $200 billion for the first time this year, and experts expect demand to grow further in 2022.

However, analysts generally expect that regulation will be a key factor affecting the crypto industry in 2022. In addition to Bitcoin and Ether, regulators will also begin to review the stablecoin and DeFi space, among others.
