2025 is expected to be a significant year for the cryptocurrency sector with the influence of tokenization, AI, Bitcoin adoption, and corporate mergers.
Tokenization of Smaller Businesses
Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley emphasized that tokenization could help small businesses access capital markets and shift from demand-side benefits to supply-side opportunities. Brickken CEO Edwin Mata stated that real-world asset tokenization would transform traditional markets, particularly in real estate, debt, and equity.
AI Driving Tokenized Companies
Horsley noted that advances in artificial intelligence could lead to niche businesses opting to tokenize instead of going public, potentially creating new capital markets.
Bitcoin Standard Corporations
Horsley forecasted that in 2025 more companies would include Bitcoin in their balance sheets. Leading companies with substantial Bitcoin holdings include MicroStrategy, Marathon Digital Holdings, Riot Platforms, and Hut 8 Corp.
As 2025 unfolds, tokenization, AI, and Bitcoin adoption are expected to significantly impact the crypto sector. Additionally, the revival of corporate mergers may accelerate crypto adoption.
