ChainCatcher message, Binance Labs stated on social media that as we transition to 2025, the Year of the Wood Snake, Binance Labs expects the cryptocurrency industry to enter a vibrant phase. The wood element symbolizes growth and creativity, heralding a mature year of innovation and development. The incoming Trump administration's supportive stance on cryptocurrency is expected to create a more favorable regulatory environment.
This shift may enhance institutional interest and investment in the cryptocurrency space, contributing to the maturity of the industry and building a more solid foundation on a robust base. Binance Labs' main focus areas for 2025 are cryptocurrency/blockchain, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology, and they are keen to see innovations emerging at the intersection of these three fields.
It is anticipated that underperforming sectors such as gaming, ZK technology, and privacy solutions may make a comeback as they transition from development to production, thereby supporting new use cases. Additionally, existing narratives like DeSci, RWA/stablecoins, and AI agents should continue to perform well with strong momentum.
