Seven Major Trends in the Encryption Field and Prospects for Decentralization Governance in 2025

Recently, a report on the development trends of the encryption field in 2025 has attracted widespread attention within the industry. This report brings together the views of several industry experts and covers multiple hot topics such as stablecoin payments, national debt on the blockchain, and Decentralization governance. Here are the seven core trends mentioned in the report:

1. Enterprises will adopt stablecoin payments on a large scale.

It is expected that by 2025, more and more businesses will start accepting stablecoin payments. In particular, small and medium-sized enterprises, such as restaurants, cafes, and convenience stores, may be the first to transition from traditional credit card payments to stablecoin payments in order to reduce transaction costs. Large enterprises may also consider adopting stablecoins to directly enhance profit margins. Additionally, businesses will seek new solutions to address issues such as fraud protection and identity verification.

2. The On-chain of National Debt Becomes a New Trend

Some countries may attempt to issue government bonds on the blockchain, creating a government-backed, interest-bearing digital asset. This practice could provide a new source of collateral for the Decentralization finance (DeFi) ecosystem while avoiding the privacy issues associated with central bank digital currencies (CBDC). Countries like the UK have already begun exploring this area, and the US may also engage in further discussions on this matter.

3. DUNA Becomes the New Standard for Blockchain Networks in the United States

The "Decentralization Non-Profit Association" (DUNA) is expected to become the industry standard for U.S. encryption projects. This legal framework is specifically designed to support the decentralized governance of blockchain networks, providing legal status for Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) while protecting token holders and addressing tax and compliance issues.

4. Developers reuse existing infrastructure more.

In 2025, it is expected that more teams will choose to reuse existing blockchain infrastructure components rather than developing from scratch. This approach can help developers save time and energy, focusing on creating the unique value of their products or services. Ultimately, the successful teams will be those that can effectively leverage complex supply chains.

5. The Rise of Cryptocurrency Industry-Specific App Stores

With mainstream app stores imposing restrictions on encryption applications, emerging dedicated encryption app stores and marketplaces will provide distribution and content discovery features. These platforms may be tied to specific hardware (such as smartphones or authentication devices), offering users more convenient access channels.

6. Encryption users transition from holders to active users

In 2025, encryption technology is expected to further develop into a movement of computational technology. It is anticipated that more existing "passive" holders of encrypted assets will convert into active users. With improvements in blockchain infrastructure and reductions in transaction fees, new applications will continuously emerge for users.

7. "Hiding Technical Details" Aids the Popularization of Web3 Applications

To attract mainstream users, Web3 applications need to hide complex technical details and focus on intuitive interface design and clear communication. By 2025, it is expected that more companies will be dedicated to simplifying product design, making operations as simple as clicking a screen or swiping a card.

Six Major Trends of Decentralization Governance in 2025

1. The Popularization of Voter Delegated Voting Websites
2. AI-assisted delegation mechanism
3. AI acts as an agent
4. Smarter Participation Incentive Mechanism
5. More efficient public goods funding support
6. More experiments on lottery governance

These trends reflect that the encryption industry is moving towards a more mature and user-friendly direction. With advancements in technology and a clearer regulatory environment, we have reason to expect that the encryption industry will welcome broader applications and innovations in 2025.
