The cryptocurrency landscape in 2025 will increasingly be dominated by institutional adoption and the rise of stablecoins. This development highlights the rapid advances in blockchain technology that are enabling wider mainstream use. According to a report by venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), traditional financial giants such as BlackRock, Visa, Fidelity and JPMorgan Chase are increasingly active in the digital asset space, alongside fintech companies such as Stripe, PayPal and Robinhood.
A key driver of this growth is improvements in the underlying blockchain infrastructure. Some networks now process over 3,400 transactions per second, representing a more than 100-fold increase in throughput over the last five years. This technological development has fueled the continued adoption of stablecoins. These digital tokens, pegged to fiat currencies, can be moved across the internet without relying on traditional payment rails.
The report highlights that $9 trillion worth of stablecoin transactions were processed in the last twelve months, an increase of 87% year-on-year. On an unadjusted basis, stablecoin transactions were valued at $46 trillion during the same period. Stablecoins have quickly established themselves as one of the most practical applications in the crypto space. While in the past they were primarily used to conduct speculative crypto trades, in recent years they have become the fastest, cheapest and most global way to send a dollar.
Regulatory developments also contribute to acceptance. In the US, the recently passed GENIUS Act provides clearer oversight and reserve requirements for issuers to ensure transparency and consumer protection. In the UK, regulators are working to introduce a stablecoin framework by the end of next year. In addition to stablecoins, a16z is seeing increasing institutional participation across the crypto sector, including the rise of spot ETFs and initiatives by large institutions to offer or expand crypto services.
