The crypto industry has seen a massive surge in user engagement, with monthly active addresses tripling from 70 million in 2023 to over 220 million in 2024. Despite this growth, the blockchain ecosystem remains fragmented, with most activity and liquidity concentrated in Ethereum’s Layer 2 solutions. Ethereum, while boasting a robust DeFi ecosystem, struggles with asset utility on its Layer 1. The current solutions for interoperability, like token swaps, are basic and do not fully empower users. In 2025, the industry aims to address this fragmentation by enhancing existing infrastructure rather than creating new, competing blockchains. This includes improving user experience, making blockchain technology seamless, and allowing assets to move freely across networks without complex bridging. The focus will be on creating a collaborative environment where every asset can reach its full potential, fostering a global marketplace where everything interconnects effortlessly.
