In September, we saw some major trends shake up the crypto space.

Layer X solutions like Optimism and Arbitrum gained traction, while the frenzy around FriendTech showcased the power of social finance.

Liquid Staking Derivatives ($LSDfi) surged, with protocols like Lido gaining attention.

Speculation around Bitcoin ETFs heated up, and despite a quieter market, niche excitement grew in the NFT space with Ordinals & AI art.

October Predictions: Expect more from #zkEVM rollouts, a possible rebirth of PlayToEarn gaming, growth in CrossChain protocols, more regulatory clarity on Bitcoin ETFs, and continued growth in #SocialFi.
