The world of crypto assets & blockchain tokens has seen its fair share of ups and downs over the years.

As we stand on the cusp of the next massive bull run, let's take a trip down memory lane to examine the history of crypto booms & crashes. From there, we'll delve into the exciting prospects of tokenization and its potential to fuel the next surge in the crypto market.

1. A Glimpse into the Past: Crypto Booms & Crashes

(Note: Some figures have been rounded off.)

2011: Bitcoin's Wild Beginnings

Bitcoin burst onto the scene, soaring to just over a dollar ($1.06) in February, only to dip to $0.67 in April.

This initial excitement was driven by Slashdot posts about the world's first cryptocurrency.

In June, news about Bitcoin's use on the dark web market Silk Road pushed its value to $30, but it eventually crashed to $2.14 by November.

2013-2015: The First Major Crash

Bitcoin's value climbed from $1,127 in November 2013 to a low of $172 in January 2015.

2017-2018: A Record High and the Great Crypto Crash

In 2017, Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of $19,783.

However, the Great Crypto Crash of 2018 saw most cryptocurrencies plummet by 80% from their peak.

Contributing factors included:

  • FUD surrounding South Korea's potential ban on cryptocurrency trading.

  • The hacking of Japan's largest cryptocurrency OTC market, Coincheck, leading to suspended trading.

  • Compromised Binance API keys used to execute irregular trades.

  • Facebook, Google, and Twitter banning advertisements for ICOs and token sales.

2020-2022: Elon Musk & the Memes Take Over

Bitcoin's value rose from $13,200 in October 2020 to an all-time high of $66,974 in October 2021.

Almost all crypto projects, including meme coins Dogecoin & Shiba Inu, experienced booming growth.

Elon Musk's tweets significantly impacted market movements, and Bitcoin became a legal tender in El Salvador.

However, the party eventually ended, with many cryptocurrencies dropping by over 90%.

Major factors for this crash included global regulatory crackdowns, the Terra Luna bust, and the FTX scam.

2. The Tokenization Revolution: 2023 and Beyond

As we venture into the next era, the stage is set for a new blockchain bull run, fueled primarily by the tokenization of real-world assets, such as:

  • Art: $65.1 billion

  • Collectibles: $402 billion

  • Copyright licenses: $3 trillion

  • Equities: $109.2 trillion

  • Precious Metals: $14.8 trillion

  • Real Estate: $326.5 trillion

Tokenization converts rights to an asset into digital tokens on a blockchain, enabling fractional ownership, improved liquidity, and more efficient trading and management of assets.

With a current crypto market cap of $1.23 trillion, imagine the possibilities when almost $500 trillion worth of real-world assets are added to the mix!

Factors that will drive the next blockchain bull run include:

  • Advancements in blockchain technology.

  • The rise of regulated permissioned blockchains.

  • Increased adoption by businesses and governments.

  • Growing public awareness of the benefits of decentralized finance.

  • Increased regulatory clarity.

  • The entrance of institutional investors.

Now let’s get to the most important question - How to profit from the next Crypto Bull run?

If you are an entrepreneur, now is the time to start building amazing projects around the tokenization of real-world assets.

If you are a crypto enthusiast, now is the time to become a Token Economist so that you can help the next generation of blockchain projects.

If you are a holder, now is the time to identify and pick up tokens of budding blockchain projects.
