Deep Tide TechFlow news, on December 31, Franklin Templeton Digital Assets released its 2025 crypto industry outlook, detailed as follows:
In 2025, significant advancements may occur in the cryptocurrency space, influenced by regulatory clarity, institutional adoption, and technological evolution.
U.S. regulatory agencies, 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 its position as the global center of crypto innovation.
Traditional finance (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 major driving force behind the growth of global decentralized finance (DeFi).
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 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 convergence. Blockchain will provide transparency and verification, which are crucial for expanding the AI-driven economy.
AI Agents will leverage blockchain tracks to automate on-chain trading and portfolio management, combining digital content and social media with on-chain activities.
Franklin Templeton stated that as the underlying technology of cryptocurrency 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 progress of the integration of AI and cryptocurrency to navigate this dynamic landscape.
