Welcome,

Although cryptocurrency prices consolidated last week, the industry is moving faster than ever. Centralized exchanges rush to provide proof-of-reserves data, and analyst firms are catching up by releasing transparency monitoring tools.

DeFi, on the hand, keeps trending, and Uniswap will have a vote on a series of governance changes on Dec. 14 that seek to “improve the efficiency and efficacy” of the DAO.

Now, let’s look at the latest market snapshot and cryptocurrency news.

Final word

While centralized exchanges continue to fight over stablecoins and proof-of-reserves, crypto funds are falling. Decentralized finance is gaining popularity in the middle of everything, and large players are rushing to release their DeFi products.

If current trends continue, most of the crypto landscape will revolve around DEXs, dApps, DeFi wallets, and cross-chain bridges next year.
