Let's take a look at the performance of the crypto sector in 2024. How much have you earned this year?

The 'gains and losses' of the crypto market in 2024, where will the road lead in 2025?

● ETFs and national reserves have successfully pushed Bitcoin to $100,000, officially declaring that Bitcoin transcends the definition of cryptocurrency, becoming a globally resilient anti-inflation asset, with its value as a store of wealth recognized. BTC is gradually transitioning from digital gold to a super-sovereign currency, marking a phased victory in this grand financial experiment that began with Satoshi Nakamoto.

● Back in the public chain domain, the leading Ethereum is not having such an easy time this year. The strong rise of Solana sharply contrasts with it. In terms of TVL, Ethereum's market share in public chains has dropped from 58.38% at the beginning of this year to 55.59%, while Solana has skyrocketed from obscurity at the beginning of the year to 6.9% by year-end, becoming the second-largest public chain after Ethereum. SOL has created a growth miracle, soaring from $6 two years ago to $200 today, with over 100% growth just this year.

TON and SUI have also broken through this year. With 900 million users, Telegram has single-handedly ignited the blockchain gaming sector, opening up a new entry point for Web3 traffic, providing strong stimulation to a market that had been quiet for a long time before September. Backed by a strong foundation, TON has finally entered the fast lane of growth after a long period of stagnation. According to Dune data, the cumulative on-chain users of TON have exceeded 38 million, with a total transaction volume of over $2.1 billion.

● SUI has completely impressed with its growth, making rapid progress with the Move language public chain, expanding hardware, diversifying protocols, and introducing airdrops, making its prospects seem very bright.

● Looking ahead to 2025: New cycle, new applications, new directions.

As we return to the present, the New Year’s bell is about to ring. Looking forward to 2025, with the Trump administration ushering in a new era for crypto, well-capitalized institutions are also eager to try. So far, more than 15 institutions have released their market predictions for next year.

● Conclusion: Where will investors go?

Although opinions vary slightly and there are differences in subfields, it is clear that all institutions hold optimistic and positive expectations for next year. Whether it is price increases, ecosystem expansion, or mainstream adoption, it is expected to continue to reach new heights in 2025.
