This is a summary I've been reflecting on repeatedly at the end of 2024, both a review of the past and a vision for the future. These trends have long been emerging, but in 2025, they may see a full-scale explosion. For me, this is not just a personal record but a roadmap worth discussing with everyone. I hope that by the end of the year, these predictions can come true, helping me and everyone seize key opportunities, strategize appropriately, and go further!
Next, let's break down the seven future new battlefields of 2025 and see which fields will create the next miracle 👀
▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰
1. AI from Warm-Up to Explosion
In 2024, AI is just testing the waters; in 2025, it will officially take the stage. Imagine that automated trading AI agents could emerge, directly disrupting the tradition of manual trading. Even the old-fashioned ICOs could be replaced by IAOs (Initial Agent Offerings), becoming the new protagonists of the story. With the addition of brain-machine interfaces, AI + Neuro could really achieve 'thoughts become things'. Want to buy meme coins? You might just need to think about it, and AI will automatically complete all operations for you.
Summary: AI in 2025 will no longer be cold, hard code, but your reliable assistant, wealth creator, and possibly even your life partner.

2. Stablecoins
Don't be fooled by the current stablecoin market cap still hovering around 500 billion; in 2025, it could surge by two-thirds due to large-scale adoption by institutions, especially public chains like @trondao, which may see an unprecedented peak in issuance. With the backing of #PayFi (Payment Finance), the demand for stablecoins is like a volcanic eruption, instantly igniting the entire market.
Summary: Stablecoins have stabilized the foundation of Web3, but no one expected it could run this fast.

3. Meme King Changes Hands
Solana is currently the 'dog house' for meme coins, but in 2025, it may be challenged by contenders such as Tron, Sui, and Base, all eyeing the prize. Various public chains are launching reward policies to attract developers and communities, and the meme coin war is about to break out!
Summary: Don't underestimate meme coins; they can not only create wealth but also determine the life and death of a public chain and its activity!
▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰
4. DeFi Capital Efficiency Soars
In 2025, the market cap of DeFi may surpass 250 billion. Traditional institutions can no longer hold back and are starting to bet on Web3, with lending and staking platforms becoming the new darlings.
Especially in the staking field, it may not just be as simple as 'staking once'; multiple staking (restaking) and cross-staking (multistaking) methods will completely ignite TVL (total locked value).
Summary: DeFi is no longer exclusive to geeks; more and more traditional players are entering the arena, and the speed of making money may be faster than you think.
▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰
5. DEX Becomes More Mainstream and Popular
Decentralized exchanges (DEX) will welcome a spring, especially with some more user-friendly wallets (like @OKXWeb3_CN), which will help DEX achieve a doubling of market share. Users are starting to truly understand how important it is to hold assets in their own hands. After all, no one wants to experience a disaster like FTX again.
Summary: DEX is synonymous with freedom; no one wants to hand over their fate to others.
▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰
6. BTCFi Makes Bitcoin More 'Valuable'
In 2025, Bitcoin will no longer just be 'something to look at'. Through BTCFi projects, Bitcoin will find more practical uses, such as staking, lending, arbitrage, etc., becoming a real asset tool. The #TON tgBTC project will seamlessly link Bitcoin to the TON blockchain network, giving Bitcoin a new value imagination space.
Summary: The story of Bitcoin is far from over; BTCFi opens up new fun with more exciting and broader applications.
▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰
7. PayFi: The New Force in Payments
PayFi will gradually replace traditional payment systems, with stablecoins as the core fuel, driving on-chain payments to become the mainstream method for global transactions. From personal payments to corporate settlements, decentralized payments will permeate all aspects of life.
Summary: PayFi is the future Alipay, but more open, freer, and more borderless.

8. Summary
This year is a year of acceleration, AI is becoming smarter, stablecoins are more stable, meme coins are more quirky, DeFi and DEX are easier to use, and BTCFi and PayFi are closer to everyone's daily life. The future is no longer unreachable but within reach!
