The Encryption Industry Enters a New Era: From Speculation to Practicality

As the underlying technology of encryption currencies matures, the industry anticipates that 2025 will become a key turning point in its development. The clarification of the regulatory environment, the participation of institutional investors, and the acceleration of technological innovation will drive the encryption industry from speculation-driven to practical value.

U.S. regulators are expected to introduce more financial products related to encryption, helping the U.S. re-establish its position as a global center for crypto innovation. At the same time, the introduction of a stablecoin regulatory framework will pave the way for major financial institutions to issue their own stablecoins. Bitcoin's status as a digital store of value will be further solidified and may even be incorporated into strategic reserves by some countries.

Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) are expected to see a growth in demand as various industries seek efficient decentralized solutions. The integration of artificial intelligence and encryption will also accelerate, with blockchain technology providing the necessary transparency and verification mechanisms for the AI economy.

However, cryptocurrencies still face challenges in becoming a "currency". San Francisco Fed President Daly believes that cryptocurrencies should be viewed as an independent asset class, rather than being equated with gold. She emphasized that understanding the nature of cryptocurrencies is crucial, as they may serve as a medium of exchange or an asset, but currently do not possess the necessary attributes to be considered a currency.

In terms of regulation, the trial of the civil case between the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and Gemini Trust Company has been postponed to January 21, 2024. The case involves whether the information provided by Gemini to the CFTC when applying to offer Bitcoin futures contracts was accurate. The outcome of the trial may impact the CFTC's future stance on dealing with encryption companies.

At the same time, the innovation pace in the encryption industry continues unabated. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong revealed that the ResearchHub community has seen significant growth over the past year. Looking ahead to 2025, he emphasized a commitment to improving the academic publishing process, optimizing the peer review mechanism, enhancing fundraising channels, and facilitating the reproducibility of research results.

The AI Meme token market is also showing an active trend, with tokens like ai16z and ELIZA reaching all-time highs. However, the rapid growth of ai16z has raised potential trademark disputes, as industry insiders question whether its market value infringes on the trademark rights of the well-known venture capital firm a16z.
