KuCoin Labs released its Quarterly Crypto Industry Report, which covered developments and trends in the blockchain and crypto space. According to the report, decentralized or non-custodial exchanges are overtaking centralized competitors in terms of the volume of users.

The report revealed that centralized platforms will eventually have to move and rebuild themselves in order to follow the emerging decentralization trends and keep their market share. The report has also suggested that users following NFT and memecoins will eventually become DApp users. Both BTC and ETH addresses have been growing during Q2 of the current year. The rapid increase in BTC and ETH addresses has most likely followed the explosive growth of the NFT industry in the quarter.

The head of KuCoin labs expressed his excitement about the first industry research that contains an in-depth look into the currently developing trends and market performance of the crypto industry in the second quarter of 2021. KuCoin Labs consists of a group of analysts and market experts that regularly analyzes current cryptocurrency industry trends and supports projects with a lot of potential and those that positively contribute to the development of a sustainable ecosystem.
