Many may not understand the technical aspects, but I have been closely following the advancements, among which there are several very important updates.
Today, as most are still on vacation, I won't talk too much, but I want to share some key points.
First, Bitcoin could receive a new soft fork update.
Mining companies will deeply integrate with the realm of high-performance computing and AI. This will slow down the growth of the hashrate and allow for more DeFi scenarios with Bitcoin. The total value locked in Bitcoin DeFi is expected to double, and more BTC will be backed or staked through smart contracts.
On the other hand, Ethereum will complete a major upgrade in 2025.
L2 solutions will significantly improve scalability and user experience. The price of Ethereum could exceed $5,500, and its staking rate could exceed 50%. Ethereum will continue to be the main platform for DeFi and innovative applications.
The era of DeFi 2.0 will drive the development of on-chain credit and the tokenization of real-world assets, promoting greater efficiency in capital use. This will attract more institutions and users to the market. In addition to the continued expansion of spot ETFs for Bitcoin and Ethereum, ETFs for assets like Solana and XRP may also be approved.
