Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley predicts a significant transformation in the business landscape by 2025, driven by advancements in AI and tokenization. He anticipates that these technologies will empower smaller niche businesses with access to capital markets, allowing them to thrive even without going public. The tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) may emerge as a key trend, revolutionizing how assets are traded on the blockchain. Furthermore, Horsley foresees a surge of ‘Bitcoin Standard Corporations’—companies that retain Bitcoin on their balance sheets, similar to MicroStrategy’s strategy. The potential deregulation of mergers and acquisitions under the Trump administration could also favor the cryptocurrency sector, fostering consolidation among large corporations. This scenario could amplify the self-interest inherent in crypto, as larger institutions are not always aligned with user wellbeing, according to Horsley.
