According to BlockBeats, on December 31, Binance Labs announced on social media that as we transition into 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. It is expected that the incoming Trump administration's supportive stance on cryptocurrencies will create a more favorable regulatory environment. This shift may enhance institutional interest and investment in the crypto space, aiding the maturation of the industry and building a stronger foundation on solid ground.

Binance Labs' main focus areas for 2025 are cryptocurrency/blockchain, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology, and they are also pleased to see the intersection of these three fields giving rise to innovation. 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, thus supporting new use cases. Additionally, existing narratives such as DeSci, RWA/stablecoins, and AI agents should continue to perform well with strong momentum.
