The VC fund a16z predicts that emerging trends in the crypto space in 2024 will develop into tangible innovations in 2025. These developments include the use of autonomous AI agents on the blockchain, crypto app stores, improved prediction markets, and the integration of AI technology with autonomous decentralized chatbots. Additionally, stablecoins are expected to gain more traction, with the potential to replace credit card payments for small businesses and facilitate large-scale payments. Governments may also explore putting their bonds on the blockchain, and there will likely be increased regulations in the industry. The DUNA standard, a regulated status for decentralized organizations, may become the norm for startups. Liquid democracy, or voting based on token ownership, has the potential to expand in 2025. Lastly, the crypto industry aims to create mainstream app stores that offer reliable apps, with the goal of increasing user engagement and encouraging spending.
