Web3, Blockchain, and the Future of Crypto
In 2021 and 2022, terms like Web3, blockchain, and crypto were all the rage. However, over the past year, media coverage shifted to focus on FTX exchange and its founder’s trial. The attention has now swung back to the pending spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund applications and a resurgence in nonfungible token (NFT) markets. Perhaps Web3 is making a comeback.
The Ongoing Blockchain Revolution
In a recent podcast episode, Alex Tapscott discussed how Web3 will transform existing industries. He emphasized that Web3 tools can be integrated into current structures rather than replacing them entirely. These tools include NFTs, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), and the metaverse.

“The existing companies will not change to be like the new thing. New things will come along that will drive adoption because people prefer them. Part of Web3 is giving individuals more control over their data and assets.”
Tapscott also addressed the regulatory challenges facing the Web3 industry and emphasized that technology alone cannot solve every problem.
“Blockchain technology is a toolkit that can be used to build new business models, create new organizations, and transform existing industries. It gives more power to people and makes it easier for anyone to connect to the global economy.”
Hot Take: Embracing Web3 as a Toolkit
Web3 provides tools for transformation rather than being a one-size-fits-all solution for industries. Listen to the full podcast episode on Cointelegraph’s Podcasts page or Apple Podcasts to hear more from Tapscott about how Web3 will become an integral part of everyday life.
