Top web3 trends to watch in 2025
As we approach 2025, the web3 landscape is poised for transformative developments. For industry leaders and managers, understanding these trends is crucial to harnessing their potential effectively.
1. AI-Web3 integration
The convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Web3 technologies is set to revolutionize decentralized applications (dApps) and blockchain functionalities. AI enhances data analysis and decision-making processes within decentralized systems, leading to more efficient and intelligent applications. For instance, AI-powered smart contracts can automate complex transactions with greater accuracy.
Example: Chainlink's oracle networks can integrate with AI models to provide secure and reliable data feeds for smart contracts.

2. Tokenization of Real-World Assets
Tokenizing physical assets like real estate, art, and commodities allows for fractional ownership and increased liquidity. This trend democratizes investment opportunities and enables more efficient asset management. For example, tokenized real estate can be traded on blockchain platforms, making property investment more accessible.
McKinsey’s tokenisation market estimates in 2030 : around $2 trillion
Example: the largest asset manager on the planet, BlackRock announced a few weeks ago that its tokenized fund will soon be launched on 5 new blockchains: Aptos, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism, Polygon.
3. Expansion of Decentralized Finance (DeFi)
DeFi continues to disrupt traditional financial systems by offering decentralized alternatives for lending, borrowing, and trading. The DeFi market is expected to grow exponentially, introducing more sophisticated financial instruments and services. This expansion provides opportunities for creating innovative financial products that cater to a broader audience.
Example: JPMorgan Chase, a global leader in financial services, has been actively exploring blockchain technology to enhance its services. The bank's Kinexys platform utilizes blockchain for wholesale payments, demonstrating the potential of DeFi in traditional banking.

4. Embracing Regenerative Finance (ReFi)
Integrating sustainable practices is no longer optional—it’s becoming an imperative. By aligning financial systems with positive environmental and social goals, ReFi (Regenerative Finance) offers a powerful framework to address global issues such as climate change and resource depletion. ReFi’s unique approach seeks to regenerate ecosystems rather than merely reduce harm, fostering a healthier relationship between technology, finance, and the environment. For Web3 leaders, embracing ReFi means contributing to a digital future where financial success supports and strengthens environmental and social resilience.
Example: ReFi DAO has developed a comprehensive map of the ReFi ecosystem, highlighting the diverse organizations contributing to regenerative finance. This initiative not only showcases the sector's dynamism but also fosters collaboration and transparency among stakeholders in the Web3 space.

Crypto treasury management : some strategies for success
For Web3 companies, balancing liquidity, security, and growth requires nuanced strategies and informed decisions. This article outlines key strategies and industry best practices to help you build your own way to deal with those issues.
1. Diversify your Asset Portfolio
Maintaining a diversified treasury is crucial. Holding a mix of stablecoins, BTC and ETH provides flexibility while minimizing risk.
Why It Matters: Stablecoins act as a hedge against volatility, while BTC and ETH ensure exposure to potential market upside.
Pro Tip: Allocate at least 60–80% of your treasury in stablecoins to secure operational expenses for a 18–24 month runway.
2. Utilize yield opportunities wisely
Leveraging decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms can help earn passive income. Protocols offering reliable yields on stablecoins are an excellent way to extend your financial runway.
Strategies to try:
- Deposit stablecoins in protocols like Aave or compound for low-risk yields.
- Explore liquidity provision strategies on platforms like Uniswap or Curve for higher returns, keeping in mind risks such as impermanent loss.
Caution: Avoid locking up too much liquidity in long-term yield strategies, as this may impact operational flexibility.
3. Hedge against market volatility
Managing risk is essential in crypto treasury. Hedging tools such as futures and options can protect against sudden market swings.
Key Tools:
- Use perpetual contracts on platforms like dYdX or Binance.
- Explore options contracts for managing extreme volatility.
Practical Tip: Set up stop-loss mechanisms and regularly review your exposure, particularly during bear markets.
4. Implement multi-signature wallet governance
Secure wallet infrastructure is fundamental to protecting crypto assets. Multi-signature wallets are widely recognized as a standard for treasury management.
Implementation:
- Use platforms like Gnosis Safe
- Require multiple approvers (e.g., CFO, CEO, board members) for any transaction above a set threshold
Outcome: This reduces the risk of internal fraud and safeguards against external hacks.
5. Plan for tax and regulatory compliance
Failing to account for tax liabilities can derail your financial planning. Ensuring regulatory compliance is critical to long-term success.
Action Steps:
- Work with a tax advisor experienced in cryptocurrency
- Use accounting tools to maintain accurate records
- Reserve funds for potential tax liabilities based on the jurisdictions of your operations
6. Prepare for liquidity crises
Liquidity crises can derail even the most promising Web3 projects. Maintaining a "rainy day fund" in fiat is a prudent strategy.
Practical Advice:
- Keep at least three months’ worth of operating expenses in a liquid and accessible account
- Establish emergency credit lines, leveraging decentralized finance where possible
7. Continuously monitor and reassess
The Web3 landscape evolves rapidly, making regular strategy reviews essential. Monitoring tools can provide real-time insights into your treasury’s health.
Suggested Tools:
- Use analytics platforms to track treasury activity and market trends.
- Manage DeFi assets in a centralized dashboard for better oversight.
