Crypto analyst Jamie Coutts identifies five key trends that will promote the widespread adoption of blockchain technology.

Formerly a crypto market analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, Coutts shares on the social media platform X that payments, account abstraction, real-world assets, non-fungible tokens (NFTs)/gaming, and artificial intelligence (AI) will all expedite the global utilization of blockchain.

In relation to payments, Coutts predicts that stablecoins will become pervasive in both developed and emerging economies.

Account abstraction, as explained by the Crypto Council for Innovation, aims to enable smart contracts to operate without necessitating blockchain users to surrender control of their funds to the contract. Coutts envisions that account abstraction will blend the web3 user experience with web2 and empower the development of "next-gen programmable financial products."

Regarding real-world assets, the analyst anticipates a significant surge in tokenization. Coutts highlights a recent report from 21.co, suggesting that the tokenization sector could grow to between $3.5-$10 trillion by 2030. Notably, 21.co is the parent company of 21shares, the world's largest issuer of crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs).

Coutts also asserts that blockchain scaling efforts are preparing NFTs for mass adoption, asserting that non-fungible tokens will play a central role in corporate customer loyalty strategies.
