The following report is by Coin Telegraph:
Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley says 2025 could see a boom in smaller, niche businesses aided by AI and tokenization, more corporate Bitcoin adoption, and an “unfreezing” of mergers and acquisitions that could benefit crypto.
In a series of X posts on Jan. 5, Horsley said he sees the world “on the precipice of change” in 2025.
Tokenization To Help Small Businesses
In one of the X posts, Horsley also made some predictions about tokenization, arguing that most focus has been on demand-side benefits, such as democratizing access to money market funds, but the real revolutionary potential lies on the supply side, he said.
Tokenization’s transformative power may come from enabling a vast untapped supply of smaller businesses to access capital markets, he suggested.
The real-world asset (RWA) tokenization industry may be the next key narrative in the crypto space in 2025, according to Brickken founder and CEO Edwin Mata. “Real-world asset tokenization is transforming traditional markets by enabling assets like real estate, debt, and equity to be digitized and traded on the blockchain,” he told Cointelegraph.
AI To Lead To Explosion Of Micro Companies
“I think AI may lead to an explosion of companies and tokenized companies,” said Horsley in a separate post sharing his thoughts on artificial intelligence advances in the coming year.
“AI could massively increase the number of niche businesses. These could never go public but could tokenize. It could be a major new long-tail capital market.”
“Bitcoin Standard” Corporations
Horsley also predicted that a major theme in 2025 will be the arrival of “Bitcoin Standard Corporations,” which are companies that hold BTC on their balance sheet. “2025 is going to see a lot of corporations joining the Bitcoin standard,” Horsley said.
MicroStrategy, which has hinted at another Monday purchase, is the largest corporate holder of BTC, with 446,400 coins worth around $43.7 billion at current market prices.
In late 2024, several smaller companies announced that they had started strategies to invest and hold Bitcoin as part of their treasuries.
Unfreezing M&A
The Trump administration may “unfreeze” mergers and acquisitions for large corporations, which is good for crypto, according to Horsley.
Horsley predicted that large corporations such as the “magnificent 7” — which consists of Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla — “may finally be able to wield their market cap,” in a post on X on Jan. 6.
“The big may get bigger, and the middle may shrink,” he said before adding, “If that happens, I think it will accelerate crypto” on the premise that large corporations operate under self-interest rather than that of their users.
The conceptual premise of crypto is not trusting large institutions to do what’s in your best interest. The big getting bigger accentuates this.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
While these are just predictions, the United States in 2025 is going to be making a major transition into cryptocurrency, specifically Bitcoin, and a hefty increase in tokenized assets. This was meticulously detailed in an article I wrote last year highlighting the move towards tokenization. 2025 and 2026 will be critical years in which these changes will be implemented.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Revelation 13:16-18
This is leading up to the mark of the beast system.
