The road ahead
TOKEN2049 Dubai 2025 marks the point where crypto moves from labs to global infrastructure.
There are many scams still at work, but crypto will be one of the defining forces of the modern world.
As regulatory changes are made worldwide, expect the entire industry to grow by ten times at the very least by this time next year.
The optimism is mixed with caution because of the lack of sweeping security standards and the lack of international regulatory enforcement.
2025 is the year when such changes are expected to take place.
And there has never been a more exciting time to be involved in crypto, AI, DeFi, DePIN, blockchain and Web 3.0 – ever.
