Franklin Templeton releases its 2025 outlook for the crypto industry. Franklin Templeton states that as the underlying technology of cryptocurrencies becomes an indispensable 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 AI and cryptocurrency convergence 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 technological evolution.
U.S. regulatory bodies like 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 financial (TradFi) players are beginning to intersect with crypto infrastructure. 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 for global decentralized finance (DeFi) growth.
As sovereign nations and institutions adopt Bitcoin, it 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 like logistics and the Internet of Things (IoT), the demand for decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) will rise.
Artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency will accelerate their convergence. Blockchain will provide transparency and verification, which are critical for expanding the AI-driven economy.
AI Agents will utilize blockchain tracks to automate on-chain transactions and portfolio management, integrating digital content and social media with on-chain activities.
