According to Odaily, Pantera Capital Partner Paul Veradittakit has released his predictions for the cryptocurrency landscape in 2025, highlighting several key developments expected to shape the industry.
Veradittakit forecasts that risk-weighted assets, excluding stablecoins, will constitute 30% of the total value locked (TVL) on blockchain networks, a significant increase from the current 15%. This shift indicates a growing confidence in the potential of these assets to drive value within the blockchain ecosystem. Additionally, he anticipates that 1% of Bitcoin will be involved in Bitcoin financial activities, known as Bitcoin-Fi, suggesting an expansion of Bitcoin's role beyond a store of value to include more financial applications.
The predictions also emphasize the role of financial technology as a gateway to cryptocurrency, potentially broadening access and adoption. Unichain is expected to emerge as the leading Layer 2 solution in terms of transaction volume, reflecting the ongoing evolution and competition within the blockchain scalability space. Furthermore, Veradittakit foresees a revival in the non-fungible token (NFT) market, indicating renewed interest and innovation in digital collectibles and assets.
Other notable predictions include the strengthening of re-staking mechanisms, which could enhance the security and efficiency of blockchain networks. The introduction of zkTLS is anticipated to bring off-chain data onto the blockchain, improving transparency and trust. Finally, regulatory support is expected to play a crucial role in fostering a more robust and secure cryptocurrency environment, potentially paving the way for broader institutional participation and mainstream acceptance.
