5.a16z's 2025 crypto trends: decentralized chatbots, on-chain government bonds
According to Golden Finance, a16z listed the key areas of the cryptocurrency industry in the coming year, emphasizing that tokenized use cases and the integration of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology are potential growth drivers. According to a16z's report, applications based on artificial intelligence and running on the chain are expected to bring at least three emerging trends throughout the industry: wallets driven by artificial intelligence agents, decentralized autonomous chatbots, and identity solutions. The company believes that decentralized chatbots can be used for social media content and asset management through a trusted execution environment: "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, and several companies and protocols have launched new stablecoins pegged to the US dollar. a16z predicts that stablecoins will gradually replace everyday credit card transactions starting next year. In addition, as the infrastructure matures, more "unconventional assets" are expected to be on-chain by 2025, enabling cross-sector tokenization. The report predicts that previously overlooked assets such as biometric data will generate new sources of revenue. "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 through decentralized scientific protocols has become possible, 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.
