Odaily Planet Daily reports that 1confirmation founder Nick Tomaino posted on X platform stating that the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies is currently $3.1 trillion (down 14% over the past year), but in 2009 this number was still 0. For the crypto industry, 2025 means “the end of the era of easy money”: venture capital exits through pump-and-dump schemes, Meme coins and DAT all declare failure. However, last year, for the first time in crypto industry history, products that do not rely on token speculation outperformed other products, such as Polymarket and stablecoins. In the future, to achieve excess returns, developing and using such products will be necessary. The crypto industry has three constants: 1. Recognize the true nature of fraudsters; 2. The macro trend of declining trust in institutions and the increasing importance of the internet is real, and trustworthy neutral currencies present investment opportunities; 3. Only two cryptocurrencies have credible neutrality: Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
