Not sure about 2x-3x increase, but this article gives lot of promises and hope for Waves: https://blog.wavesplatform.com/block-by-block-building-a-complete-blockchain-ecosystem-f6205b3c090c

To sum up what this thread has listed many times:

1) DEX
- increasing amount of gateways to other blockchains

2) TX speed
- Waves-NG: 100 tx/s
- fastest at the moment?

3) Blockchain mane easy
- anyone can create tokens for their needs
- downside: lot of shittokens as well

4) Incentives to good ICOs
- mechanisms to improve quality of ICOs?

Sounds good at least to me
