Top 30 Blockchain Figures
Yao-Wei Ou: Founder and CEO of KryptoGO
Contributions to the industry in the past year:
We are establishing partnerships with stablecoin issuers like Circle to strengthen the promotion of stablecoin wallet solutions and their application in payment and cross-border remittance scenarios.
Expanding digital wallet services into the B2B2C sector, enabling businesses to easily integrate Web3 technology and launch customized wallets through the KryptoGO Studio platform.
In 2024, significant progress was made in compliance and cybersecurity. In addition to upgrading our financial due diligence solution through new language model training, we also invited external cybersecurity companies to conduct penetration tests on the system intermittently, on top of achieving ISO 27001/27701 dual certification. The continuous introduction of new technologies helps customers comply with regulatory norms more effectively.
In 2024, KryptoGO actively collaborated with multiple public chains, exchanges, and Web2 payment platforms to promote the development of Web3 infrastructure. At the same time, we participated in international fintech organizations to promote the application and popularization of blockchain technology across different industries.
What are your thoughts on the developments in 2025?
Q1: What are you most looking forward to seeing in the Web3 industry in 2025?
What I look forward to seeing is the further maturation of Web3 infrastructure, especially breakthroughs in stablecoin transactions, digital wallets, and blockchain compliance. As regulations gradually improve, I expect more traditional enterprises and financial institutions to effectively utilize blockchain technology, truly achieving a seamless connection between Web2 and Web3.
This will facilitate broader mainstream adoption and allow emerging markets to fully leverage the opportunities brought by Web3 technology.
Q2: From your area of expertise, what do you think is the most important trend in the blockchain industry in 2025? What are your expectations and observations?
From my area of expertise, I believe the most important trend in 2025 will be the expansion of stablecoins and the deepening of application scenarios.
I have observed that the importance of stablecoins in payment, cross-border remittance, and B2B2C scenarios is increasing, especially in retail applications. Blockchain compliance and security will be key drivers for these developments.
Another trend worth noting is the combination of on-chain digital identity verification (such as decentralized identity) and DeFi (Decentralized Finance), which will further accelerate the pace of financial innovation. Our company will continue to focus on these areas and strive to provide enterprise-level solutions.
Q3: Are there any interesting plans or products for 2025 that you can share?
We are actively promoting a one-stop Web3 technology solution based on compliance and asset management products, particularly innovations around stablecoin infrastructure. Our AssetPro product will integrate with hardware security modules (HSM) to provide enterprises with safe and stable digital asset management solutions.
We also plan to launch more instant payment and settlement tools for stablecoins, which will help merchants and businesses gain new advantages in cross-border transactions and asset management.
