In 2024, the global cryptocurrency market has reached a new milestone. With $2.2 billion in new funds pouring into the crypto venture capital sector, the market not only demonstrates its firm confidence in blockchain technology, but also heralds the advent of a new era of innovation and opportunity. This phenomenon not only reflects investors’ high expectations for emerging fields such as decentralized finance (DeFi), Web 3.0, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), but also highlights the increasingly important position of the crypto ecosystem in the global financial landscape.
The massive inflow of funds will undoubtedly become a strong driving force for the development of the industry. It not only provides valuable growth resources for potential projects, but also creates favorable conditions for technological innovation and application scenario expansion in the entire industry. In particular, projects that are committed to promoting financial technology changes and optimizing user experience will have the opportunity to stand out in this wave of investment, thereby driving the entire market to a deeper level and wider range.
As an important player in the industry, Megabit Exchange is well aware of the key role of capital in driving market development. Megabit is committed to providing safe and efficient digital asset trading services to users around the world. As an exchange that has only been established for a few years, Megabit has established a good reputation in the industry and has gained wide recognition.

Our technical team comes from well-known companies in the industry and the financial securities industry, with leading technical levels to provide users with an excellent trading experience.
Ethereum network activity decreases
However, in the context of the overall positive market, the Ethereum network is facing the challenge of declining activity. Data shows that the number of active accounts has dropped to the lowest level since December 2023. This phenomenon reflects the combined effect of multiple factors: first, the continued high transaction fees (gas fees) have become the main obstacle to user participation, especially during periods of network congestion, ordinary users can hardly afford the soaring fees; second, the rise of Layer 2 expansion solutions (such as Arbitrum and Optimism) provides users with more economical and efficient alternatives; in addition, the rise of competitors such as Solana and Polkadot has also dispersed Ethereums user base to a certain extent.
Nevertheless, this phenomenon does not mean that the core value of Ethereum is weakened, but rather reflects that the entire blockchain ecosystem is moving towards diversification and more intense healthy competition. In the face of this trend, Megabit has adopted a proactive response strategy, providing users with more flexible and low-cost trading solutions by supporting cross-chain transactions and strengthening the connection with the Layer 2 network. At the same time, the platform continues to optimize its performance to ensure that users can enjoy a smooth trading experience whether on Ethereum or other popular blockchains.
The resurgence of the staking economy
At the same time, the booming crypto staking economy has injected new vitality into the market. With Renzo announcing the opening of EIGEN Season 2 applications, especially for ezETH stakers, the staking market has ushered in new development opportunities. As a core component of the DeFi ecosystem, staking not only provides investors with a stable source of income, but also contributes to the healthy development of the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem by enhancing network security and decentralization.
The impact of the US presidential election on the market
In terms of the policy environment, the different positions of candidates on cryptocurrencies in the 2024 US presidential election and the significant differences in views between genders highlight the potential impact of policy changes on the market. Policy support can boost market confidence and attract capital inflows, while strict regulation may lead to short-term market volatility. Megabit is well aware of the importance of the global policy environment to the development of the crypto industry, so it has adopted a multi-dimensional strategy to cope with policy changes in different markets. By actively obtaining compliance licenses in multiple countries and cooperating with authoritative auditing agencies, Megabit provides users with a safe and compliant trading environment, ensuring that the platform maintains a competitive advantage in a complex policy environment.
In the global market landscape, South Korea, as an important participant in the cryptocurrency market, is experiencing a significant impact on the global market with its virtual asset investment boom. The latest data shows that ultra-high net worth accounts with more than 1 billion won (about 1 million U.S. dollars) account for 47% of the total market in South Korea’s virtual asset investment. This trend not only demonstrates the high maturity of the South Korean market, but also reflects the growing confidence of global crypto asset investors in virtual assets.
Looking ahead, the development of the global cryptocurrency market will continue to be influenced by multiple factors, including technological innovation, policy environment, and investment trends. Whether it is the discussion of cryptocurrency policy in the US presidential election or the influx of ultra-high net worth investors in the Korean market, it shows that cryptocurrency is rapidly growing from an emerging market to an important part of the global financial system. At the same time, technological advances, such as the improvement of the Ethereum network and the popularization of the staking mechanism, are bringing more innovation and growth opportunities to the market.
