With North America projected to host 215 million 5G connections by the close of 2023, the swift adoption of these advanced networks is a driving force behind the growth of the web 3 blockchain market.

The increasing adoption of cryptocurrencies is anticipated to boost the growth of the Web 3 blockchain market in the future. A cryptocurrency is a type of digital or virtual currency that utilizes cryptography for security and functions independently from a central bank or governmental authority. In the realm of cryptocurrency, Web 3 and blockchain technology are closely connected, playing vital roles in its evolution and operation by automating the execution of contracts based on predetermined conditions, reducing manual tasks, and enhancing efficiency in cryptocurrency transactions and various applications. For example, in September 2024, a report from Security.org, a US-based nonprofit organization, indicated that cryptocurrency ownership among American adults has risen to 40%, compared to 30% in 2023. This translates to approximately 93 million individuals participating in the crypto market. Thus, the increasing acceptance of cryptocurrencies is propelling the growth of the Web 3 blockchain market.

A prominent trend gaining traction in the Web 3 blockchain market is the embrace of technological advancements. Key players within this market are strategically incorporating new technologies into their products to maintain their market standing.
