The CEO of Binance, Richard Tengprepared perspectives towards 2025, among which the satisfactory scenario after the election of donald trump in the United States, which could bring new developments in the legislative framework after the regulation in Europe.
Cryptocurrencies: outlook towards 2025
During 2024, they were implemented regulatory developments throughout the world, standing out Mica in Europe. By 2025, it is possible that the election of the president-elect of the United States, donald trumpand several pro-crypto politicians in the Senate and House of Representatives, bring new legislative developments.
“This is the first US president with multiple NFT collections and your own DeFi collection (Decentralized Finance). Developments in crypto regulation are expected from the new US government in 2025, which will encourage greater participation across the market, especially from TradFi based in the US, and will help inform legislation for other countries around the world,” said the CEO of Binance.
There is also the potential for a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve in USAwhich could be a significant development and lead many other countries to follow suit. In this scenario, the Leading cryptocurrency could grow to new heights in terms of adoption.
The total supply of stablecoins reached an all-time high (ATH) of more than $200 billionthus showing the explosive growth of this important product. A recent report from Castle Island Ventures, Brevan Howard Digital and Visashowed that stablecoin liquidation volumes are also at ATH (over $2.6 billion in the first half of 2024).
DeFi grew and already has more than $125 billion in total value locked (TVL) along with new developments in 2024. In addition, Teng highlighted that large US institutions, such as BlackRock and fidelity, have already committed to the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs), which is considered a important step to drive blockchain adoption for traditional finance (TradFi).
“We expect to see developments across the board. Crypto regulation saw huge growth around the world in 2024 and we expect to see more in 2025. Given the recent presidential election in the US and the expected crypto regulation of its new government, we expect to see other countries follow the US example and enact more legislation around the world,” Teng analyzed.
New entries to the crypto sector
The financial giants BlackRock and Fidelity They entered the crypto business during 2024, and by 2025 Binance expects to see new players in the sector. “More companies are learning about crypto and integrating specific features of the sector such as tokenization into their businesses,” highlighted Teng, who also stated that there is a growing trend in recent years and they hope to see more developments in this regard.
About the Bitcoin ETFs and Spot Ether were successfully marketed in the United States during 2024. Given the pro-crypto government coming in in January 2025, and the recent filings of new ETFs by existing issuers, we are likely to see more ETFs approved next yearwhich will result in more institutional investors.
The madness for memecoins
Within the memecoinsthe robustness of the existing on-chain token creation and trading infrastructure is highlighted. Binance lists them as “revolutionaries”as these are permission-free, globally tradable assets that can be created and traded in volumes of millions of dollars within hours and at minimal costs.
“The ability to create new tokens at virtually no cost is expected to lead to a significant oversupply of various memecoins in the market. Ultimately, attention and resources will likely consolidate around a select few memecoins that demonstrate longevity and resilience” , reflects Teng, who exemplifies with the blockchain of Dogecoin and shiba inu.
Although many memecoins may not last, they reflect the innovative and dynamic nature of the crypto space and resonate with a young, internet-savvy demographic.
