Many industry executives point out,With Bitcoin pledge, real -world assets (RWA) tokenization, and agent artificial intelligence catalytic applications, decentralized finance (DEFI) will reach the turning point in 2025.
In 2024, as investors invested more than $ 100 billion to the spot BTC Exchange Trading Fund (ETF), the price of Bitcoin exceeded $ 100,000 for the first time.
“The historical high of Bitcoin will trigger the new interest of cryptocurrencies in institutions and regulators, and will revive the entire cryptocurrency industry in 2025,” pointed out Dean Tribble, CEO of the first layer of Internet Agoric Systems.
According to DEFILLAMA data, in December, the total lock value (TVL) in the DEFI agreement reached US $ 130 billion, close to the historical highest level of about $ 175 billion in the ecosystem in 2021.The industry executives expect this upward trend to continue next year.
“By 2025, blue -chip protocols such as DEFI infrastructure and AAVE, MAPLE, and Maker will operate on a large scale for more than four years.Jacob Phillips, co -founder and strategic director of the Bitcoin pledge agreement, pointed out.
“These platforms will become a reliable place for institutions and new users to use Bitcoin,” PHILLIPS said.

Bitcoin pledge
Bitcoin’s emerging two -layer (L2) expansion network and DEFI protocol ecosystem are creating unprecedented opportunities for investors to gain benefits from Bitcoin.
“Bitcoin DEFI currently accounts for 0.1%of its total asset value. This is a 300 -fold opportunity to develop DEFI on Bitcoin,” Alexei Zamyatin, co -founder and CEO of Build On Bitcoin, pointed out: and added:
“We have talked with dozens of large Bitcoin DEFI users and funds. They are keen to use their Bitcoin assets to earn benefits.”
Bitcoin L2 like Babylon and CoreChain pays BTCs to pay the pledge to protect their network by locking BTC as collateral.
At present, the mobile pledged pledged token (LST), which represents the pledge of BTC claims, is surging.According to data from StakingRewards.com, as of December 19, the total lock value (TVL) of Bitcoin LST was as high as $ 2.5 billion.
Matt Hougan, the research director of asset management company BitwiseBy 2025, Bitcoin pledge ETF may also get attention.
“It is very demanding on Bitcoin’s income. Will it become an ETF structure in the United States? I’m not sure, but in Europe, it will definitely,”Hougan said.

RWA token
Colin Butler, the capital director of Polygon, pointed out in August that he pointed out in August thatADeritia’s Digital tokens that represent the claims of any assets such as US Treasury to art, such as US Treasury bonds to art, is a market opportunity worth $ 3 billion in global.
According to RWA.XYZ, they have obtained about $ 14 billion in TVL.Invented tokens, the US Treasury vouchers are particularly popular, with TVL more than $ 3 billion.
“The real -world assets of real estate and carbon credit will release unprecedented liquidity, and the progress of payment will further simplify cross -border transfer,” Raj Brahmbhatt, CEO of the Web3 settlement platform Zeebu.
Even the U.S. Treasury has praised the Tonseum to improve liquidity and reduce the potential of “operation and settlement friction”.
Brahmbhatt said: “In the United States, with the victory of Trump (elected President Donald), I am very optimistic about the United States to become a global leader in the field by the end of this year.”

Agent artificial intelligence
According to Coingecko,In 2024, the market value of tokens related to the agent artificial intelligence (machines pursuing complex goals) reached nearly $ 10 billion.
Analysts predict that the integration of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology will change Web3, create an independent artificial intelligence construction decentralized application and the future of transactions with human users.
Artificial Intelligence Agreement Raiinmaker CEO J.D. Seraphine pointedAgent artificial intelligence “has proven to be the core of the future of the industry.”
Seraphine said that in 2025, “artificial intelligence agents are expected to play more important characters in decentralized communities.”
Hougan said that the potential areas of artificial intelligence agents are almost infinite and added:
“If you don’t know what will happen, it doesn’t matter, as long as you know what is happening is really potential, and you want to contact it.”
