AI Evaluation Notes

The predicted timeframe (November 2023 - February 2024) did see the beginning of a significant upward trend in the crypto market, indicating the start of a bull market. However, the prediction that this bull market would be primarily characterized by a 'battle' between DeFi and centralized entities, particularly centralized exchanges and big banks like BlackRock, was not entirely accurate. While there's an ongoing dynamic between CeFi and DeFi, the dominant narrative and market driver during this specific period was the approval and launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs by traditional financial institutions, including BlackRock, which facilitated significant centralized institutional inflows into the crypto space. Although DeFi experienced growth in volume, the impact of these centralized financial products was a more defining characteristic of the market's movement during this initial bull market phase, and the CEX to DEX ratio even fell in Q1 2024.
