<p data-block-id="91aaa323-d2dc-47e8-9219-8a6d112e7073">Now, let’s look closer at Coingecko’s Q3-2024 Crypto report.</p> 
<h5 data-block-id="8184a88c-d55f-450d-b023-e7cdd485aac7"><strong>A Quarter of Stability</strong></h5> 
<p data-block-id="1a16ba10-aa98-4dad-9aef-8ba2adce82e3">According to CoinGecko’s Q3-2024 Crypto report, there was a 1% depreciation, which reduced the <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/global-charts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">crypto market’s value</a> to $2.33 Trillion. This might have looked like a slight dip; it was one part of a roller coaster. The market reached $2.61 trillion in July and reduced in August following the issues in the international economy.</p> 
<p data-block-id="1a16ba10-aa98-4dad-9aef-8ba2adce82e3">However, the market declined in the middle due to news of a global recession. Still, by the end of September, the U.S. federal cut 50 bps in interest rate. It stimulated China to raise the market back to the previous level.</p>

<h5 data-block-id="579a5631-e2d3-4e8c-8324-3afdc19159fa"><strong>Bitcoin Tightens Its Grip on the Market</strong></h5> 
<p data-block-id="50772f8e-253b-4be2-9c8d-6de339ec16ed">As Q3 closed, <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bitcoin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin</a> continued to gain ground and showed that it now controls 53.6% of the total market capitalization — its highest level since April this year.</p> 
<p data-block-id="50772f8e-253b-4be2-9c8d-6de339ec16ed">Its hash power increase was 0.8%, but it performed better than most altcoins. Bitcoin’s more significant share showed it was a reliable asset during shaky times in the crypto market.</p> 
<p data-block-id="50772f8e-253b-4be2-9c8d-6de339ec16ed"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-153095 aligncenter" src="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/vcxfbgfhjgjhjk-296x300.png" alt="" width="576" height="583" srcset="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/vcxfbgfhjgjhjk-296x300.png 296w, https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/vcxfbgfhjgjhjk-414x420.png 414w, https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/vcxfbgfhjgjhjk.png 429w" sizes="(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px"></p> 
<h5 data-block-id="982e45df-45ea-4ec8-946d-a6431da166f4"><strong>Gold Outshines Bitcoin and Other Assets</strong></h5> 
<p data-block-id="41158fc3-47a5-4d3e-8ddd-7041147e1694">While Bitcoin made an incremental bullish movement on the charts, <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/?s=gold" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gold</a> was up by 13.8% over the quarter and did better than Bitcoin. Accompanying this rise was the global hunt for yield during periods of economic weakness and emerging market stresses, especially in the Middle East.</p> 
<p data-block-id="41158fc3-47a5-4d3e-8ddd-7041147e1694">The Japanese Yen also did well in the quarter we’re looking at because the Bank of Japan raised rates more than expected.</p> 
<p data-block-id="41158fc3-47a5-4d3e-8ddd-7041147e1694"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-153097 aligncenter" src="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/vcxvcbnbvhghj-297x300.png" alt="" width="583" height="589" srcset="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/vcxvcbnbvhghj-297x300.png 297w, https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/vcxvcbnbvhghj-416x420.png 416w, https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/vcxvcbnbvhghj.png 431w" sizes="(max-width: 583px) 100vw, 583px"></p> 
<h5 data-block-id="fd730ea3-e652-4894-9ac6-96886fc8b9c8"><strong>Prediction Markets Skyrocket—Polymarket Takes the Lead</strong></h5> 
<p data-block-id="8211d537-09ac-4406-a3dd-42c1bb5e8872">Another exciting experience of Q3 was the fast growth of prediction markets. These betting platforms by individuals on future event results increased by 565.4 % due to the U.S. elections.</p> 
<p data-block-id="8211d537-09ac-4406-a3dd-42c1bb5e8872">The lion’s share belonged to Polymarket, with 99%. Most wagers on Polymarket focused on the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, making it a hot topic.</p> 
<p data-block-id="8211d537-09ac-4406-a3dd-42c1bb5e8872"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-153098 aligncenter" src="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/xvcfghgffh-300x300.png" alt="" width="577" height="577" srcset="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/xvcfghgffh-300x300.png 300w, https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/xvcfghgffh-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 577px) 100vw, 577px"></p> 
<h5 data-block-id="e3563843-b35a-4e3a-94f5-4f0d8aba1b37"><strong>Ethereum Layer 2s: The Real Winners</strong></h5> 
<p data-block-id="5de34bda-fc0e-4b6e-8a88-2d6bfcae0a96">Ethereum’s network slowed down, but Layer 2 solutions like Base and Arbitrum flourished. These Layer 2 networks handled 17.2% more transactions, with Base at the forefront.</p> 
<p data-block-id="5de34bda-fc0e-4b6e-8a88-2d6bfcae0a96">As Q3 ended, Layer 2 solutions dealt with 10 million daily transactions above Ethereum’s 1 million. This shows more users picking L2 networks to get cheaper and quicker transactions.</p> 
<p data-block-id="5de34bda-fc0e-4b6e-8a88-2d6bfcae0a96"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-153100 aligncenter" src="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/vxcvcbnbvnhjhgjh-300x297.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="584" srcset="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/vxcvcbnbvnhjhgjh-300x297.jpg 300w, https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/vxcvcbnbvnhjhgjh-424x420.jpg 424w, https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/vxcvcbnbvnhjhgjh.jpg 441w" sizes="(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px"></p> 
<h5 data-block-id="a1183e85-6dc5-4b15-a57a-c8697755580c"><strong>Centralized Exchanges See Declines, But There’s a New Contender</strong></h5> 
<p data-block-id="420ad0b9-58a8-4459-b5dd-2f73416b89ff">Q3 wasn’t the best time for <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/exchanges" target="_blank" rel="noopener">centralized exchanges</a> (CEXs). The total trading volumes on these platforms came down to 14.8%. Binance dropped for the first time since 2022, and its overall pool went under 40% of market value.</p> 
<p data-block-id="420ad0b9-58a8-4459-b5dd-2f73416b89ff">However, the greatest leap, although small, was when <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/exchanges/crypto_com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Crypto.com</a> jumped from ninth rank to second place based on volume. It’s clear that while some established platforms are losing ground, others are rising.</p> 
<p data-block-id="420ad0b9-58a8-4459-b5dd-2f73416b89ff"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-153101 aligncenter" src="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/vcxcvvbnnhgjhjg-300x300.png" alt="" width="578" height="578" srcset="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/vcxcvvbnnhgjhjg-300x300.png 300w, https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/vcxcvvbnnhgjhjg-150x150.png 150w, https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/vcxcvvbnnhgjhjg-419x420.png 419w, https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/vcxcvvbnnhgjhjg.png 446w" sizes="(max-width: 578px) 100vw, 578px"></p> 
<h5 data-block-id="cc74e038-0755-4ec2-94ea-24a0a3ca23d9"><strong>Ethereum Loses Ground in DEX Trading</strong></h5> 
<p data-block-id="4cf427d6-2373-4db0-8fdd-b9f823228688">Ethereum has always been the market leader in DEX trading, but from Q3-2024, it encountered increasing competition. Although Ethereum remains in the lead, its share is below 40%.</p> 
<p data-block-id="4cf427d6-2373-4db0-8fdd-b9f823228688">Pettersen also shares with readers that Solana has put up good numbers on post-Christmas trade wherein the rudimentary memecoin secured a 22% share of the trade. <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/?s=base" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Base</a> has recorded an astonishing 31.4% trading volume and edged ahead of Arbitrum.</p> 
<p data-block-id="4cf427d6-2373-4db0-8fdd-b9f823228688"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-153102 aligncenter" src="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/xvcfbgfhghgjjh-300x293.png" alt="" width="593" height="580" srcset="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/xvcfbgfhghgjjh-300x293.png 300w, https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/xvcfbgfhghgjjh.png 446w" sizes="(max-width: 593px) 100vw, 593px"></p> 
<h5 data-block-id="6a05e3c3-a300-414c-ab46-22fb3f0a38f4"><strong>Conclusion</strong></h5> 
<p data-block-id="dcb3a123-5d68-454a-bff4-02725c2fe283">Understanding how this industry moves is possible using insight from CoinGecko’s Q3-2024 Crypto Report. The market didn’t grow in the third quarter; however, bitcoin is up for the quarter. There was also an uptick in Bitcoin dominance, and gold was good against all other commodities. Predictions markets came to life, and Ethereum has had vigorous but aggressive competition in L2 and convenient trading in DEXs. CEXs could be in distress while new entrants appear, and Ethereum L2 is the solution for now.</p> 
<p data-block-id="4b6f8906-2319-4031-90b4-130334bff031">While moving into the next quarter or a new year, watch out for these trends; they hold the key to the future of crypto.</p>
