By 2025, one of the most surprising trends could be the resurgence of play-to-earn (P2E) gaming. While the initial hype faded due to unsustainable models, new economic designs integrating DeFi, NFTs, and AI-driven experiences could revitalize the sector. Additionally, decentralized AI protocols might emerge as a major narrative, automating smart contract operations and enhancing predictive analytics. Another unexpected shift could be increased institutional interest in tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), bridging traditional finance with blockchain ecosystems. If these trends materialize, they could redefine market dynamics.
