The new year is officially here and with it, we are continuing our series "2022 Predictions in Digital Wealth from the C-Suite". Just like last year, we've been blessed with so many submissions from amazing fintech founders that we've opted to break the series up into 3 weekly articles. This week, you'll find Part 2, and MORE GREAT INSIGHT from the industry movers and shakers on what to expect for the coming year.

This article highlights market and economic predictions that are so obvious they should be called, certitudes. Here's a peek at what we believe the future will bring for cryptocurrencies, NFTs, DeFi and the broader markets.

It's that time of year, friends, when we look to the best and brightest across the many sectors of financial technology and digital wealth to share their prognostications for what the New Year may hold in 2022.

There seems to be a race on to see which city is the real "Crypto City", which of course means that city would be the coolest and most "cryptonized." Miami and its Mayor, Francis X. Suarez, kicked things off a while back when the city launched "MiamiCoin" and the mayor offered to take his salary in Bitcoin. Not to be outdone, New York City mayor-elect Eric Adams endorsed the NYCCoin (New York City Coin), offered to take his first three paychecks in Bitcoin AND declared “NYC is going to be the center of the cryptocurrency industry."

Jack Dorsey is shaking things up at Twitter. Ready or not the holiday season has kicked off, and the threat of yet another COVID variant coupled with the supply chain disaster has American shoppers shifting gears.
