How do you see the development in 2025?
Q1: What are you most looking forward to seeing in the Web3 industry in 2025?
Regulatory policies in various countries around the world are clearer, making companies willing to invest in blockchain innovation, talents willing to join in development, and more groundbreaking applications in the industry. In particular, more countries with imperfect financial systems and suffering from high inflation can benefit from blockchain technology and improve the current situation.
There are more teams and companies in the Chinese-speaking area willing to expand their spending on the community and give back to the community. When I am busy with content creation, meetings with project developers and exchanges, and chasing investment hot spots, I can allocate more time and energy to community services.
The community in the Chinese-speaking area can be better taken care of, and more new users can be properly accompanied to grow up, so that the Taiwanese community and newbies can continue to thrive. And there will be more self-media that do not only rely on industry distribution as a source of revenue, but can maintain team operations through the support of the community, leading to a positive cycle.
Q2: From the perspective of your professional field, what do you think is the most important trend in the blockchain industry in 2025? What are your prospects and observations?
The results of the 2024 US election may affect the development speed of the blockchain industry in 2025 and in the future. Everyone who wants the industry to thrive needs to pay attention to the results of the US election.
The effect of the adoption of Bitcoin spot ETF will continue to ferment in 2025, helping cryptocurrencies become more integrated into traditional financial asset allocation. In addition, if Bitcoin is encouraged by the interest rate cut cycle and can have a good trend, it may cause the public to rekindle higher attention to cryptocurrencies.
As the interest rate cut cycle continues to develop, funds will begin to seek profits again, which may lead to the revival of Defi (Decentralized Finance). Traditional financial institutions and well-known public chains continue to deploy RWA (Real World Assets) and PayFi (Payment Finance). You can expect to see more combinations of blockchain and real life and the popularity of payment applications.
Unlike past hardware mining, both Solana mobile phones and Sui game consoles are expected to be shipped in 2025. Hardware built with blockchain applications may have the opportunity to drive a new industry development narrative.
Q3: Are there any interesting plans or products you can share in 2025?
