2025 marks a major turning point for the global cryptocurrency market. While 2021 was a period of experimentation and speculation, 2025 is the year the cryptocurrency market enters its most mature phase , transforming from a virtual asset into a financial and technological infrastructure , reshaping the global financial and economic structure. Cryptocurrencies are no longer considered merely virtual currencies or virtual assets; most countries are now gradually integrating them into their national economies. Cryptocurrency assets are now measured by network throughput, payment value, and the degree of integration with traditional finance and the business ecosystem.

According to the HCCVenture team, there are currently over 3,400 transactions per second taking place on blockchain systems , a more than 100-fold increase compared to five years ago and surpassing several global transaction methods. The hot topic at Layer 2 is modular blockchain , rollups, and parallel execution , which are becoming the standard architecture for a new financial solution. The potential for connectivity between finance and technology is becoming increasingly clear , indicating the world is shifting into a new era of digital technology and digital finance.

By 2025, the concept of blockchain will no longer be just “ proof of feasibility ” but will gradually become a payment infrastructure – a store of value – a payment layer on a national and global scale. For the cryptocurrency market, the focus is shifting from simply pursuing “ smart contracts ” to a broader, cross-platform approach: payment certainty, liquidity routing, on-chain risk management, and programmable compliance.

The interplay between macro and micro factors paints a relatively challenging cyclical picture for the digital asset market. In the short term, this landscape may continue to demand high caution from investors. However, we believe a tactical approach to the market is necessary because when market sentiment reverses in a positive direction, the recovery process is usually rapid and widespread.

In the context of a rapidly changing and increasingly complex market structure, this study introduces a range of new indicators and analytical perspectives to help investors better understand the dynamics driving the market. Specifically, the report focuses on clarifying the overall picture of market trends and identifying key factors that could alter the current situation.
