a16z lists key areas for the cryptocurrency industry in the coming year, highlighting tokenized use cases and the integration of AI with blockchain technology as potential growth drivers. According to a16z's report, applications based on AI and running on-chain are expected to bring at least three emerging trends across the industry: wallets driven by AI agents, decentralized autonomous chatbots, and identity solutions. The company believes that decentralized chatbots can be used for social media content and asset management through trusted execution environments: "By running a group of permissionless nodes and coordinated by a consensus protocol, chatbots can even become the first truly autonomous billion-dollar entity." Another trend expected to emerge in 2025 is related to stablecoins. In the past few months, the industry has established a market suitable for global remittances, with several companies and protocols launching new stablecoins pegged to the US dollar. a16z predicts that stablecoins will gradually replace daily credit card transactions starting next year. In addition, as the infrastructure matures, it is expected that by 2025, more "unconventional assets" will be on-chain, enabling cross-sector tokenization. The report predicts that previously overlooked assets such as biometric data will generate new revenue sources. “Individuals can tokenize their biometric data; the information can then be rented out to companies through smart contracts,” the report states, adding that the collection of medical data has become possible through decentralized scientific protocols, enabling users to profit from previously untapped resources. On-chain trading of government bonds is another prospect for 2025 and beyond. The market for tokens backed by government securities began to flourish in 2024, supported by institutional adoption of digital assets. Looking ahead, a16z expects governments themselves to explore the benefits of issuing debt on-chain. (Cointelegraph)
