BNB Chain experiences significant growth, with stablecoins and prediction markets迎新机遇—Industry leaders discuss 2025 crypto market trends

【Blockchain Rhythm】Recently, the founder of a leading exchange shared his core views on the development of the crypto market during the year-end Q&A. He stated that his current focus is on four main areas: educational platforms, ecosystem laboratories, BNB Chain ecosystem development, and promoting the global adoption of cryptocurrencies.

According to data, BNB Chain has performed remarkably this year—annual trading volume increased by approximately 600% year-over-year, and daily active users have surpassed 2 million. The industry insider believes that the core mission of BNB Chain is to continuously create value for genuine developers. More importantly, he emphasized that the overall ecosystem scale should surpass any single business within it, including centralized exchanges and various protocols.

In the stablecoin sector, he expressed a clear optimistic signal. He pointed out that better stablecoins have not yet appeared on a large scale in the market. “The space is huge. What we see now is only stablecoin 1.0. The true iterative products are still in the early stages; FDUSD, USD1, for example, are already 1.5th generation products.” This indicates that there is several times growth potential in the stablecoin field.

Regarding the emerging hot topic of this cycle—“prediction markets,” the insider admitted that it is difficult to determine in the short term which project will ultimately succeed. However, he believes that teams capable of maintaining round-the-clock involvement and relentless effort during major upcoming events (such as next year’s elections) may gain a competitive advantage in the short term. “But true victory can only be achieved in long-term competition.”

The topics of AI and robotics are equally attracting attention. He predicts that AI and robots will inevitably be widely applied in cryptocurrencies—“This is inevitable; there is no other choice.” However, he remains cautious about products like AI Agent trading. The reason is straightforward: if AI strategies are truly feasible, why would project teams not use them themselves instead of selling to users? Moreover, in zero-sum games, if everyone uses the same AI strategy, it will eventually become ineffective. “But overall, traders will indeed use AI in various ways extensively.”

When discussing how to invest in startups, his core criterion is to prioritize supporting builders with genuine mission-driven projects. “Adjusting products according to market demand is fine, but if you change direction completely within three months, it shows you are not truly passionate about this.” In his view, the execution ability of the team is the most critical factor in investment decisions. Entrepreneurship has no fixed formula; there are many paths to success.

Regarding the long-term prospects of cryptocurrencies, he remains optimistic. Although the industry may face volatility, he believes the entire field is still in its very early stages. “In terms of population, the adoption rate of cryptocurrencies is only in the single-digit percentage. In terms of total wealth, the penetration rate is less than 1%. This means there is several orders of magnitude of growth potential.”
