Genius Act Sparks Institutional Frenzy
2025 is seen as a breakthrough year for institutional crypto adoption. At the Consensus Hong Kong event, Sui executives noted a significant increase in institutional interest and allocation to digital assets following the Genius Act.
Accelerated Infrastructure Development
The surge in digital asset vault tools and the successful launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs signal intensified institutional activity in crypto infrastructure and talent acquisition. Even amid market fluctuations, record options trading volumes highlight unprecedented institutional demand.
Convergence Between TradFi and DeFi
Traditional finance and decentralized finance are expected to merge rather than compete. DeFi's T+0 settlement offers a clear efficiency advantage over the T+1 model in traditional finance. Through asset tokenization, investors can instantly use assets for staking or borrowing, combining traditional positions with DeFi strategies.
Tokenization and AI-Driven Transactions Take Center Stage
Tokenized assets and agentic commerce (AI-powered blockchain transactions) are seen as key trends for the next phase. This shift could reshape financial transactions and enable smarter, more efficient investment strategies.
