A crypto-focused financial media outlet is naming the top crypto sectors to invest in before 2024.
In a series of tweets, Blockworks and explores seven crypto areas that they expect to produce the best investments over the next two years.
The Next Big Crypto Narratives? ?
Here are 7 areas to keep a close eye on for capital injections over the next 2 years

First on the list is Ethereum (ETH) layer-2 (L2) solutions, referred to as L2s. Blocksworks highlights projects like Arbitrum, Optimism, and Starkware, pointing out their tremendous total value locked (TVL) values.
“These three L2s alone have a TVL of over $5 billion, a number likely to only go up. L2 token launches are imminent and worth noting.”
Next, Blockworks that the multi-chain world is on the rise, meaning that interoperability of assets between blockchains will be important for mass adoption. Based on this assumption, Blockworks says that blockchain bridges, such as Anyswap and Wormhole, are one of the “most important factors in Web3 adoption.”
Third, Blockworks anticipates the sector of decentralized data storage to grow over the next two years, specifically highlighting top altcoins like Filecoin (FIL) and Arweave (AR).
5/ Decentralized data storage has yet to see a bullish narrative among the masses.
Projects have been innovating in this space for over 5 years and a large corporation utilizing a decentralized provider will be the catalyst needed.

Next, Blockworks expects decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) and social tokens to explode in terms of adoption.
“DAOs will purchase and control real-world assets and protocol governance alike, and these purchases will act as a testament to the power that stems from decentralized communities. Social tokens, not necessarily for managing funds, will also pop up.”
Blockworks then predicts blockchain gaming, a sector that has already been blowing up over the last year, will continue to gain mass adoption once a major gaming studio begins to assimilate digital assets.
“A significant game studio will adopt digital assets and implement them in a high-grossing game. This sector has the most potential to push digital assets into the mainstream, outside of value speculation.”
At number six, Blockworks names derivatives trading as another area that will see incredible adoption by 2024.
@GMX_IO@DDX_Official@dopex_io are just a few of the builders looking to decentralize derivatives.

Finally, Blockworks foresees another sub-arm of decentralized finance (DeFi), undercollateralized lending, potentially infiltrating the entire lending industry.
“Under collateralized lending enables Defi will infiltrate the entire lending industry. Mortgages, exchange margin, insurance, and credit cards are just a few of the use cases.
Development here will lead to the most progress for decentralized finance.”
