What do you think about the development in 2025?
Q1: From your professional perspective, what do you think is the most important trend in the blockchain industry in 2025? What are your insights and observations?
The cryptocurrency industry has always been considered a trusted industry, and I believe that virtual currencies will have a clearer positioning in the capital market.
From the approval of the Bitcoin spot ETF in the United States, to the regulation of Taiwanese virtual currency operators by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and the establishment of the RWA (Real World Assets) research group initiated by the Financial Supervisory Commission, it is clear that virtual currencies have officially entered the fields of investment and finance.
It can be imagined that this may be a new type of capital market without time zone and spatial limitations, based on blockchain technology and virtual currencies, but the products or services of this new capital market are variations of existing investment products. However, because it can operate without time zone and space restrictions, the thresholds for participants can also be more flexible.
Q2: Are there any interesting plans or products to share for 2025?
Next, the MaiCoin platform and MAX Exchange will also strive to obtain registration licenses to ensure the normal operation of the platform and not to betray user trust.
In addition, the progress of IPOs (Initial Public Offerings) is also proceeding vigorously, hoping to have good news to share with everyone next year.
