According to ChainCatcher, Franklin Templeton Digital Assets has released its 2025 outlook for the crypto industry. Franklin Templeton states that as the underlying technology of cryptocurrencies becomes an integral 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 integration of artificial intelligence with cryptocurrency to navigate this dynamic landscape.
The specific content is as follows:
In 2025, there may be significant advancements in the cryptocurrency space, influenced by factors such as regulatory clarity, institutional adoption, and the evolution of technology.
U.S. regulatory bodies, such as 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 itself as a global center for crypto innovation.
Traditional finance (TradFi) players are beginning to intersect with crypto infrastructure. A stablecoin regulatory framework is expected to be introduced in the U.S., 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 global decentralized finance (DeFi) growth.
As sovereign nations and institutions adopt Bitcoin, Bitcoin will solidify its position as a global financial asset for digital value storage. Some countries are expected to increase their BTC strategic reserves.
As various industries prioritize providing decentralized, 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. Blockchain will provide transparency and verification, which is crucial for expanding the AI-driven economy.
AI agents will utilize blockchain tracks to automate on-chain transactions and portfolio management, combining digital content and social media with on-chain activities.
