Political developments and regulatory approaches in the U.S. are revitalizing the crypto sector. While the fundraising volume is expected to reach $18 billion by 2025, stablecoins and artificial intelligence projects are attracting investors' interest. The CEO of HashKey Capital is optimistic about the future of the industry.
The cryptocurrency sector is preparing for a new growth period alongside positive political developments and regulatory approaches in the U.S. HashKey Capital CEO Deng Chao stated that cryptocurrency projects are expected to attract significant amounts of capital by 2025, particularly highlighting stablecoins, digital assets, artificial intelligence projects, and infrastructure initiatives. According to PitchBook data, the fundraising volume of crypto firms is expected to reach $18 billion in 2025.
STABLECOINS AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE PROJECTS HAVE BECOME THE NEW FAVORITES OF INVESTORS
The changing political atmosphere in the U.S. and positive developments in regulations regarding cryptocurrencies are increasing hopes for the future of the sector. HashKey Capital's CEO, Deng Chao, predicts that cryptocurrency projects will attract significant investments in 2025.
In his assessment, Chao noted that investors are particularly focused on four areas: stablecoins, the digitization of real-world assets, AI-supported projects, and infrastructure initiatives. With the improvement of the political environment in the U.S. and the clarification of the regulatory framework, along with the expected increase in digital asset values, a faster flow of capital towards crypto projects is anticipated in the upcoming period.
However, Chao also warned that, alongside positive developments, geopolitical tensions and increasing budget deficits could trigger fluctuations in the markets.
Stablecoins are becoming an attractive option, especially for people living in countries experiencing depreciation of local currencies and subject to strict capital controls. Low transaction fees, the possibility of fast transfers, and the lack of a requirement for a bank account make these tools an ideal alternative for individuals without access to banking services.
According to World Bank data, 1.4 billion people worldwide lack adequate banking services. This issue is particularly rooted in infrastructure deficiencies in developing countries. However, it is noted that smartphones and crypto wallets could provide a solution to this problem.
According to Infinity Hedge's forecasts, the fundraising volume of crypto companies was $10.1 billion in 2023 and is expected to rise to $13.6 billion in 2024. PitchBook predicts that this figure could reach $18 billion in 2025. Galaxy Digital expects a 50% annual increase in investments. However, experts believe that reaching the record levels seen in 2021-2022 will be challenging.
