The cryptocurrency industry is buzzing with high expectations for 2025, with many experts anticipating an extraordinary bull market.
Alex Svanevik, CEO of Nansen AI, has offered his insights into what could define the year ahead, presenting a range of predictions spanning decentralized finance, tokenization, artificial intelligence, and more.
Svanevik envisions a significant resurgence in decentralized finance (DeFi), driven by increased capital inflows and renewed interest in governance tokens. He also highlights the rising importance of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, forecasting a substantial market expansion as more traditional assets become blockchain-based. According to him, memecoins will play a pivotal role in introducing new retail investors to decentralized ecosystems, while permissioned chains may see renewed attention as key platforms for tokenization efforts.
The potential of artificial intelligence and decentralized science (DeSci) is another area where Svanevik predicts substantial growth. With crypto leaders showing interest in advancing longevity and scientific research, he expects these sectors to attract considerable funding and drive innovation.
Institutional interest is set to grow as well, with Svanevik predicting that a Solana ETF could surpass Ethereum ETFs in performance, bringing additional capital into the space. He also sees Bitcoin continuing to expand its influence both within the cryptocurrency ecosystem and traditional financial markets.
On the regulatory front, the potential passage of the U.S. Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21) could provide a clearer framework for the industry, supporting broader adoption and innovation.
