Coinbase analysts noted that the main drivers for the growing interest of large corporations in DLT systems are:
- hype around spot Bitcoin ETFs, whose issuers have a total of just over $58 billion in assets under management as of June 13, 2024;
- pending final approval of spot Ethereum ETFs;
- development of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, in particular, active growth of the market for tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds;
- popularization of stablecoins; PayPal already issued them for corporate use, while Ripple and Sony are also planning to do the same.
Coinbase analysts also found that 68% of small and medium-sized businesses in the United States are interested in blockchain technologies. Companies in the payments, gaming, healthcare, and restaurant industries are particularly active in this area.
According to surveyed executives from large companies, the main barrier to the mass blockchain adoption in the U.S. is the lack of qualified blockchain developers. For example, only 26% of blockchain specialists work in the U.S. Executives believe that regulatory clarity in digital assets and blockchain will attract more IT specialists and DLT developers to the region.
The number of active Web3 developers reached a record high in 2022 and began declining gradually in 2023.
