Deep Tide TechFlow News, December 31, Franklin Templeton Digital Assets released the 2025 Crypto Industry Outlook, with the following details:

In 2025, there may be significant advancements in the cryptocurrency sector, driven by factors such as regulatory clarity, institutional adoption, and technological evolution, leading to substantial progress in the development of cryptocurrencies.
U.S. regulatory bodies, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), will play a leading role in diversifying financial or investment products related to cryptocurrencies (such as ETFs or tokenized securities).
A favorable regulatory environment will help the U.S. re-establish its position as a global center for crypto innovation.
Traditional financial (TradFi) participants and crypto infrastructure are beginning to converge. The U.S. is expected to introduce a regulatory framework for stablecoins, opening the door for major financial institutions to issue their own stablecoins.
The adoption of token products and stablecoins will continue to expand and become a key driver of growth in global decentralized finance (DeFi).
As sovereign nations and institutions adopt Bitcoin, it will solidify its status as a global financial asset for digital value storage. Some countries are expected to increase their strategic reserves of BTC.
As industries prioritize providing decentralized and efficient solutions for real-world applications such as logistics and the Internet of Things (IoT), the demand for decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) will increase.
Artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency will accelerate their integration.
AI Agents will utilize blockchain tracks to automate on-chain transactions and portfolio management, combining digital content and social media with on-chain activities.

Franklin Templeton stated that as the underlying technology of cryptocurrencies becomes an indispensable part of global financial and operational systems, 2025 will mark a shift from speculation to practicality. Stakeholders should pay attention to regulatory dynamics, institutional initiatives, and the progress of AI and cryptocurrency integration to navigate this dynamic landscape.
