The current year is still known as the gold year for DEFI projects but it is a bit complicated to predict what upcoming years will be the home will be. Maybe NFT or anonymous altcoins can be the candidates for this position, I prefer to wait for the right time to analyze the market situation.
And on my end, don't wait what hype will gonna be coming next. It is better to look for projects with tangible plans and that can really execute their objectives. Those projects that will be created according to the current hype will most likely end up as pump and dump and will be short-lived. So it is better to look for projects with actual use case in the market with very good applications where a lot of users are being catered. With active users, it means the platform will generate income and will sustain its presence in the market.
