<blockquote>It&#39;s been 3 months since TokenInsight Rating v2 went live in November. Let&#39;s take a look at what has changed in these 3 months and what trends can be seen through the rating results.</blockquote><h2 id="header-0">Rating Overview</h2>As of February 6, 2023, TokenInsight has rated a total of 292 projects across public chains, DeFi, exchange tokens, stablecoins, NFT, and more. The ratings are presented in letters AAA-D, with AAA representing our highest rating of a project&#39;s credentials with very low-risk level, and D representing that we consider the project to be extremely risky.<img src="https://tokeninsight.feishu.cn/space/api/box/stream/download/asynccode/?code&#61;OWVmODU2N2E1OTM3YzVjMmI2ZmQzMGQzYzBlMDkzNjJfZkxwR3dIRjM4TmVvRjlkZW00Zkk1WUZJOFVQdW1lMDhfVG9rZW46Ym94Y252blQwRlZuMlhyck1xNlA0MkZ5RHRjXzE2NzYyNTU0MzY6MTY3NjI1OTAzNl9WNA" />Among all projects, the largest number of projects are at BB, accounting for about 25% of the total rated projects. As the rating results improve/decline on both sides, the number of projects corresponding to the rating results gradually decreases, basically showing the characteristics of a Normal distribution.On November 1, 2022, we had only completed ratings for 143 projects. Of these projects, about 15% have improved their rating scores in the past 3 months, with <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/coins/optimism/overview" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Optimism</a> and <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/coins/gmx/overview" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">GMX</a> being the most significant.The rating score is an objective score used to determine the rating result, and each rating result corresponds to a certain score range. When a project&#39;s qualification or risk changes, it is first reflected in the score, but the rating result does not necessarily change. The rating score provides a more detailed picture of dynamic changes.About 31% of the projects have seen their rating scores drop, with the most severe declines including <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/coins/ftx-token/overview" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">FTX Token</a>, <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/coins/serum/overview" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Serum</a>, and <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/coins/solana/overview" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Solana</a>, all of which are closely related to the FTX bankruptcy. <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/coins/crypto-com-coin/overview" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cronos</a>, <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/coins/binance-usd/overview" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Binance USD</a>, and <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/coins/huobi-token/overview" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Huobi Token</a> also appear in the list of declines. The remaining approximately 54% of the projects&#39; rating scores are unchanged from 3 months ago.As we can see, the current market environment is slightly less favorable than it was before the FTX bankruptcy. While the FTX bankruptcy was a devastating blow to the Crypto industry, it has also given rise to more opportunities, with more latecomers emerging and new technologies and projects taking shape.<img src="https://tokeninsight.feishu.cn/space/api/box/stream/download/asynccode/?code&#61;MDRhOGMxMDBjZDJkNWU0MWM1YWI5OGE0ODJmYTJlNzhfZ1czSmVHS2xVdFV6UmZDRmt3Q0pGSWpacUhpWjVFRUpfVG9rZW46Ym94Y25VaXdoMUxJZTVwYmV4RHRYRkhPSXZnXzE2NzYyNTU0MzY6MTY3NjI1OTAzNl9WNA" />Of the 149 projects that were newly rated, we found that most of them included the keywords <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/cryptocurrencies?tag&#61;Infrastructure" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Infrastructure</a>, <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/cryptocurrencies?tag&#61;Public-Chain" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Public Chain</a>, and <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/cryptocurrencies?tag&#61;Layer-1" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Layer-1</a>. Even in a bear market, the development of infrastructure does not stop.<a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/coins/ethereum/overview" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum</a>, <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/coins/optimism/overview" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Optimism</a>, and <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/coins/cosmosatom/overview" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cosmos</a> are the most frequently seen ecosystems in that these projects were built, while the once-hot <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/coins/binance-coin/overview" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BNB Chain</a>, <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/coins/polygon/overview" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Polygon</a>, and <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/coins/solana/overview" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Solana</a> are nowhere to be found.These projects are in a variety of industries, with <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/cryptocurrencies?tag&#61;DeFi" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">DeFi</a> still firmly in the top spot, followed by <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/cryptocurrencies?tag&#61;Derivatives" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">derivatives</a>, <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/cryptocurrencies?tag&#61;Liquid-Staking-Derivatives-%28LSD%29" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">liquid staking</a>, <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/cryptocurrencies?tag&#61;Social" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">social</a>, <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/cryptocurrencies?tag&#61;Storage" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">storage</a>, and more. Perhaps we are approaching the peak of the explosion of these industries. <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/cryptocurrencies?tag&#61;DEX" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">DEX</a> and algorithmic stablecoins, which were once the most popular, seem to have receded from the history books.<img src="https://tokeninsight.feishu.cn/space/api/box/stream/download/asynccode/?code&#61;NDJkMDQ1YzdlNmM3YzE1ODA4YzE2MmIyNjlkN2E3M2JfNTRpRERXbG4xR3ZxS0dlajM2aTUyaDM2TkhJamwzVHhfVG9rZW46Ym94Y25YVGI0VldNZVlvQUk5eFpGR2ducmVkXzE2NzYyNTU0MzY6MTY3NjI1OTAzNl9WNA" />The global market cap of Crypto market has returned to the level it was at the beginning of November, before FTX went bankrupt. The Top 10 ratings have not changed much, with FTX Token unsurprisingly dropping out of the Top 10 list and being replaced by Cosmos.<h2 id="header-1">Market Trends</h2><img src="https://tokeninsight.feishu.cn/space/api/box/stream/download/asynccode/?code&#61;MDZjZjAzNTdmMzAyNWY5MjE0OWVjYThiOTY1M2YyZjNfeXlqalZyUVRaQTdPSE80eXNpSmc2cWd0UzVWQnJ1TU9fVG9rZW46Ym94Y25rNWtKRUJ1RkRDZWpXMHE1NnU0eE1ZXzE2NzYyNTU0MzY6MTY3NjI1OTAzNl9WNA" />The average score of Bitcoin and Ethereum quickly returned to their previous levels after a brief drop in the FTX bankruptcy, indicating that the long-term outlook for the Crypto market as a whole remains positive.The average score of DeFi tokens rose 3%, making it the only type to close with a higher score. Public chain and exchange tokens stabilized after declines of 6% and 12%, respectively. Most public chains as well as exchanges have been affected by the panic exodus, and in the face of the crisis, only Bitcoin and Ethereum are the only places where people feel safe.The average score of stablecoins fell by more than 15% due to the <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/coins/usdd/overview" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$USDD</a> de-peg and <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/news/binance-acknowledges-past-flaws-in-management-of-stablecoin-s-reserves" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Binance USD reserve scandal</a>, as well as the fact that stablecoins have been in a net outflow for the past 3 months.<img src="https://tokeninsight.feishu.cn/space/api/box/stream/download/asynccode/?code&#61;NjVkYTRlNGY4NDI3YjRhMTZhOWVjMDBhZGYyNzc1MjFfdktOV2V6UjhZRVBoUzlHeVRaSmlOckZIR3FzUXdEdVhfVG9rZW46Ym94Y24zWXRBcjFxdU5LVm5lSFJ6QmoyNGtoXzE2NzYyNTU0MzY6MTY3NjI1OTAzNl9WNA" />We describe the future trend of a project&#39;s rating by its outlook. Generally, we believe that projects with positive outlooks have the opportunity to upgrade their ratings in the next 3-6 months. Conversely, a project with a negative outlook has the potential to be downgraded in the future.Please note that our project ratings only evaluate the qualification and risk level of a project and cannot be used as investment advice.<img src="https://tokeninsight.feishu.cn/space/api/box/stream/download/asynccode/?code&#61;YTU2YjFlODkwZTJkOTVjMGU5N2IxYWJiODU2NWJiNGRfb2tad085M3BMQ093eHNmUGVGN2cyaThQTGxtd081elJfVG9rZW46Ym94Y24wR0lXcDNsZzFsdVpwU1VaY0RvMmZkXzE2NzYyNTU0MzY6MTY3NjI1OTAzNl9WNA" />TVL of all public chains was down about 10%, with <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/coins/ethereum/overview" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum</a> and <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/coins/binance-coin/overview" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BNB Chain</a> in line with the overall public chain decline. <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/coins/solana/overview" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Solana</a> was the hardest hit by FTX bankruptcy, with a 72% drop in TVL.<a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/coins/optimism/overview" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Optimism</a> TVL closed down 21% while Arbitrum closed up 29%, with the two most popular Layer-2s showing opposite TVL trends.It is also worth noting that <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/coins/aptos/overview" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Aptos</a>, although not among the TVL Top 10, had the highest TVL increase among all public chains at 71%.<img src="https://tokeninsight.feishu.cn/space/api/box/stream/download/asynccode/?code&#61;ZDczNDM3N2NkMDNmY2FjNDE0YzIyMDMxNzNkNThmYWJfM3l0S2lWUm5PQ1dmZDRkRW9MNVowYW1tSm03eUpWZTlfVG9rZW46Ym94Y25MMmVpRXViWnd4cHJ0SWl6VVhFMjNiXzE2NzYyNTU0MzY6MTY3NjI1OTAzNl9WNA" />Among decentralized derivatives exchanges, <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/coins/dydx/overview" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">dYdX</a> remains firmly in the driver&#39;s seat, with its average daily trading volume in January up 37% compared to November. <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/coins/gmx/overview" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">GMX</a>, on the other hand, while more and more projects are starting to build GLP-based revenue strategies, its perpetual contract trading volume is on a downward trend, with its average daily volume in January down 41% compared to November last year - is this a bad sign?In addition, <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/coins/gains-network/overview" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Gains Network</a> has become the biggest dark horse, with its average daily volume up 1x compared to November last year and already in the Top 3.<img src="https://tokeninsight.feishu.cn/space/api/box/stream/download/asynccode/?code&#61;ZWNkNGI0ZmY1NDU2ODk5ODIwZmUwZDJmNDEyNjRkMjBfWHlZWWg1WXFETDhhdWQ4eVlsRkJXYWJ6QVVUUmM5VW9fVG9rZW46Ym94Y25wcVhtZUxPY3FyNzVZeEpJY05VVTFjXzE2NzYyNTU0MzY6MTY3NjI1OTAzNl9WNA" />The total staked $ETH on Beacon Chain has grown by about 11% in the last 3 months, with <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/coins/lido-dao-token/overview" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Lido Finance</a> still holding nearly 90% of the liquidity staking market share, growing at the same rate as the overall market.<a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/coins/frax-share/overview" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Frax Finance</a> is the best performer.
