DeFi is set for transformative growth by 2025, driven by key trends like Bitcoin staking, RWAs, and Agentic AI. Bitcoin DeFi is rapidly expanding, with $2.5 billion in TVL from liquid staking tokens (LSTs) and new Layer-2 solutions like Babylon gaining traction. Meanwhile, RWAs, including tokenized U.S. Treasury bills and real estate, now hold $14 billion in TVL, with a market opportunity estimated at $30 trillion globally.
On the innovation front, Agentic AI is making its mark in DeFi. AI-linked tokens reached $10 billion in market cap in 2024, signaling rising interest in autonomous AI agents within Web3 ecosystems. These agents are expected to enhance decentralized applications, improve decision-making processes, and transform community interactions.
As these trends unfold, DeFi is positioned to unlock new liquidity sources and reshape global finance, bridging traditional assets with cutting-edge blockchain technology. The future of decentralized finance looks brighter than ever. Show Less
