According to a report by the Ethereum blockchain analysis platform Nansen and the lending protocol MetaStreet, artificial intelligence and the emerging "NodeFi" market may become the most active vertical markets in the DeFi sector.
The report states that the cryptocurrency market "is moving beyond the initial focus on ERC-20 tokens and DeFi," and that these dominant technologies will ultimately tend to stabilize. As the generative AI industry matures, emerging blockchain-based vertical industries, such as distributed computing and GPU-as-a-Service projects, are expected to experience relatively explosive growth. According to the report, the vertical sector with the greatest growth potential is DePIN projects.
