State of Crypto 2025 – TL;DR

We’re finally shifting from hype back to hardcore building: Bitcoin clings to roughly 50% of market share, and out of 716 million crypto owners, about 70 million are active on-chain. Institutions aren’t just sending press releases—they’re integrating real products, with stablecoins now matching Visa-level volumes and ranking among the top U.S. Treasury holders.

DEX spot trading sits near 20%, rewriting price discovery, while perpetuals, infrastructure throughput, and fee-switch models are reshaping revenue across chains. On the horizon: a comeback for prediction markets, killer AI×crypto mashups (think autonomous agents, proof-of-humanity NFTs, IP on the blockchain) and Bitcoin’s looming quantum threat with long-dated countermeasures in the works.
