As we enter 2025, the digital asset industry is at a turning point. Regulatory transparency is improving, institutional adoption is increasing, and new technologies are reshaping our view of finance. However, challenges remain, particularly in global policy coordination, retail customer protection, and infrastructure development. Many industry leaders emphasize key trends that will determine the next few years. Some of these developments seem inevitable, such as stablecoins as a widespread payment tool and the rise of institutional participation in cryptocurrency. Other technologies, such as the tokenization of RWA (real-world assets) and on-chain compliance solutions, could fundamentally change finance but require further innovation and regulatory approval.
