Examine them one by one.<h2 id="strong-fintech-adoption-crypto-as-a-backend-strong">Fintech Adoption Crypto as A Backend</h2>Svanevik noted that major fintech firms are increasingly moving towards using blockchain as their main backend.<figure class="media"><oembed url="https://twitter.com/ASvanevik/status/1710275535635640627"></oembed></figure><a href="https://cryptonews.com/exclusives/paypal-is-highly-unlikely-to-become-a-dominant-player-in-stablecoin-market-tether-co-founder.htm">PayPal</a> has already launched a stablecoin and <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/major-shapeshift-crypto-boom-at-revolut-interest-in-ethereum-8824.htm">Revolut</a> is already letting its users stake ETH, he noted.<a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/new-perspective-towards-fintech-2023.htm">Fintech</a> firms are attracted to <a href="https://cryptonews.com/guides/what-is-blockchain.htm">blockchains</a> because of their potential to offer complete transparency, enhanced security, censorship resistance, fast and cheap transactions that offer zero cross border frictions.&ldquo;Long-term, crypto replaces the backends for fintech,&rdquo; Svanevik noted.<h2 id="strong-gambling-and-betting-moving-to-blockchain-strong">Gambling And Betting Moving to Blockchain</h2><a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/best-gamblefi-coins.htm">Gambling and betting</a> &ldquo;just makes a lot more sense with a <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/defi-news/">DeFi</a> backend,&rdquo; Svanevik noted, explaining that &ldquo;instead of house taking a spread&rdquo;, protocols can &ldquo;live off the yields on capital&rdquo;.<figure class="media"><oembed url="https://twitter.com/ASvanevik/status/1710275538445836519"></oembed></figure>Crypto casinos have been a huge success in 2023, with the likes of Rollbit seeing explosive user growth.Meanwhile, a new Telegram-based crypto Casino called <a href="https://tg.casino/#stakingRewards">TG.Casino</a> is currently enjoying a highly successful presale, having last raised over $725,000 to power its new platform.<a href="https://cryptonews.com/guides/what-is-web3.htm">Web3</a> can solve a number of problems that have plagued the traditional gambling industry by providing greater transparency, security and offering an avenue to gamble without having to give up custody of your funds.<h2 id="strong-real-world-assets-rwas-strong">Real World Assets (RWAs)</h2>Svanevik predicts that real-world assets will increasingly move on-chain, particularly US government bonds or &ldquo;t-bills&rdquo;.Given they are yield-bearing, Svanevik hypothesized that on-chain t-bills will eventually eat up a substantial portion of the stablecoin supply.<figure class="media"><oembed url="https://twitter.com/ASvanevik/status/1710275541167915038"></oembed></figure>He noted he &ldquo;would be surprised if @circle (and) @Tether_to don&rsquo;t move here&rdquo;.The total market cap of all <a href="https://cryptonews.com/coins/tether/">USDT</a> and <a href="https://cryptonews.com/coins/usd-coin/">USDC</a> currently in issuance was last around $110&nbsp; billion.<h2 id="strong-web3-gaming-strong">Web3 Gaming</h2>Svanevik admitted that he has been touting the potential of web3 gaming for some time, but noted that, &ldquo;in the next 6 months, we&rsquo;ll see games launch after 2+ years of building&rdquo;.<figure class="media"><oembed url="https://twitter.com/ASvanevik/status/1710275544024252462"></oembed></figure>He noted he is backing Sipher Odyssey, MixMob and Axie Infinity.<h2 id="strong-socialfi-strong">SocialFi</h2>Given the recent growth of protocols such as friend.tech, Svanevik noted he expects SocialFi to be a major pillar of future crypto growth.<figure class="media"><oembed url="https://twitter.com/ASvanevik/status/1710275546981269699"></oembed></figure><a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/friendtech-developers-amass-nearly-20-million-since-august-debut.htm">Recent reports</a> suggest that the development team behind friend.tech has amassed nearly $20 million in revenue since its launch in August.At its current pace, the platform is projected to generate an annualized revenue of $180 million.&ldquo;It&rsquo;ll take a few iterations (and forks), but I think this (SocialFi) is here to stay&rdquo;, he noted.<h2 id="strong-physical-nfts-strong">Physical NFTs</h2>Svanevik hailed Pudgy Penguins&rsquo; Luca Netz as &ldquo;showing us the path to Walmart&rdquo; for NFTs.<figure class="media"><oembed url="https://twitter.com/LucaNetz/status/1706687294109864390"></oembed></figure>Pudgy Toys are <a href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pudgy-Penguins-Plush-Buddie-1-with-Giraffe-Skin-and-a-Teddy-Bear-Hat/1203879422?athbdg=L1102&amp;from=/search">now available across 2,000 Walmarts in the USA</a>.As per Walmart, &ldquo;each toy has an official, scannable, redeemable code that unlocks digital penguin customization using different trait boxes&rdquo;.&ldquo;That way, you can obtain rare and epic traits and have a one-of-a-kind forever Pudgy Penguin registered to your name on the blockchain&rdquo;.
