Volatility Largely Stable

According to the data, total addresses have been rising since the beginning of 2022, but other measures like average transaction size and volatility have remained largely stable. The number of addresses has increased from 3.4 million at the beginning of the year to 5 million. However, Charles Hoskinson, co-founder of Cardano, predicted that the hard fork planned in the middle of the year would add many additional decentralized apps (Dapps).

At $303 million as of this writing, total value locked (TVL) falls short of the $326 million all-time high achieved on Thursday. At Binance Blockchain Week in Dubai on Monday, Hoskinson delivered a passionate keynote lecture that emphasized the need for decentralization and the problems in coordinating that it presents. Although “we are entering a new era,” “unlike with Web2, there’s no leader” to make choices for the business, he added.
