2022 has been a banner year for crypto

And possibly one of the most brutal, chaotic, and volatile years.

This year has seen BTC and ETH experience -75% drawdowns off the all-time-high set in November. Bitcoin fell from an ATH of over 68,000 USD in November 2021 to $16,000 in 2022.

This year has seen a series of big digital-asset collapses. After the implosion of Terra, major crypto players fell like dominos: the bankruptcy filing of Three Arrows Capital, Voyager Digital, Celsius Network, BlockFi, and the spectacular downfall of FTX empire.

Now the market is full of FUD, and contagion floating around.

But every cloud has a silver lining

It’s important to note that neither the crypto slumps nor bankruptcies were caused by the failure of underlying blockchain technology.

This year the long-term holder supply of Bitcoin has climbed to yet another all-time high. With many of the speculators gone, long-term investors are stepping in with increasing coin volume on each price leg down.

This year many blockchains have undergone monumental technical developments. Ethereum merge was executed successfully, with a transition from a proof-of-work blockchain to a proof-of-stake blockchain.

This year the use cases for blockchain technology are continuing to grow. Blockchain is no longer only relevant to cryptocurrency, but also provides support for many other scenarios that require decentralization.

So, what’s next for 2023?

No one can predict if 2023 would be a better year for crypto. But we can definitely learn from the past year and bring out the best of the crypto market.

All crypto players, from retail to institutional investors, from fledgling initiatives to established businesses, should view 2022 as a turning point for the industry. Be aware of the continuing pressure from macro market and crypto industry. Watch out on the scrutiny, regulations and legal frameworks. Review your crypto portfolios and investment thesis. And most importantly, secure your ownership of assets. Stay safe.

After all the dust settled, one can be quite certain that crypto will rebound even stronger.

There will be something to look forward to in 2023.

  • Crypto-Friendly Bank Erebor Seeks $1.5B Funding with a16z Participation

    On August 11, Erebor Bank, a crypto-friendly bank co-founded by Oculus and Anduril founder Palmer Luckey and Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale, is seeking $1.5 billion in funding, with a pre-money valuation target of $8 billion. This valuation is nearly double the $435 million valuation the company had when it completed a $350 million funding round in December 2025. Erebor has already received support from investment institutions such as 8VC and Haun Ventures, and the new funding round is expected to attract participation from Lux Capital, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Human Capital, Valor Equity Partners, and SV Angel, among others. As AI infrastructure investment enters a phase of rapid expansion, Erebor is targeting the financing needs of AI companies. AI companies require substantial capital to purchase GPUs, build data centers, and secure energy supplies, while traditional financial institutions are gradually exploring financing models for AI infrastructure assets. However, whether Erebor can maintain rapid growth after the AI and crypto industry cycles cool down remains a key focus for the market. The funding round has not yet been finalized and is expected to be completed within the coming weeks.

  • Vitalik Updates Ethereum Roadmap: Privacy, Post-Quantum Scaling, and Native Rollups Become New Priorities

    On August 10, Vitalik Buterin stated that he had compared the 2023 Ethereum roadmap with the current Strawmap. The overall direction still overlaps considerably, but some priorities and technical paths have been clearly adjusted, including raising the priority of quantum safety, downweighting VDF and some EVM improvements, and replacing old designs with solutions such as a unified binary tree, PBT, and new state types. He noted that the most notable change in the current Strawmap is the emergence of several new topics not included in the 2023 roadmap, reflecting a shift in Ethereum's R&D focus. These new priorities include: stronger native privacy support, aggressive scaling in a post-quantum context, specification streamlining for formal verification, Blob and Gas futures, native Rollups, and a more open design space for the future shape of the EVM. Vitalik also emphasized that Ethereum's scaling approach is shifting from 'expanding all activities comprehensively' to 'designing more scalable dedicated mechanisms for specific high-load scenarios,' and he regards STARK proofs and AI-accelerated formal verification as important foundations for the protocol's future. Overall, this update shows that the Ethereum roadmap is evolving toward quantum safety, privacy-first, censorship resistance, high performance, and simpler protocol design.
