With 2025 almost here a lot of people are on edge and getting excited to see what will start to unfold in Jan 20th 2025 when Trump take office. Now while personally I don't think much will happen at least not for a good few months as laws start to get figured out and passed there could be some curve balls thrown in there as well with executive orders.
However being that the party holds a majority of seats and most are pro crypto on both sides of the fence now the idea of executive orders over getting solid laws passed seems like it shouldn't be a thing. This process will take some time and it's most likely going to be slow going at first giving us a good year or more before companies really start to spring up and launch crypto projects in the USA.
Another big factor which is being pushed in mining in the USA. This comes with some hitches being that not only do vast amounts of power have to be produced but also the chips that make up the mining currently come out of Taiwan, South Korea and China a hot bed of geopolitical chaos at the moment that is only getting worse.
This making centralizing mining rather difficult for the USA unless they figure out ways to mine and produce chips themselves. We have seen a small push in this direction mainly because of the on going wars as of late and honestly it would be a good thing for the USA to do.
Ah yes! The dreaded ICO's might just make a come back and is something to watch out for. If clear regulation comes into play we could see the ICO crazy come back. For those of you that don't know ICO stands for Initial Coin Offering and it's a way to get people to buy tokens before the release. It's actully a horrible model for any crypto and only benefits owners and creators for years. We often see these as flat up scam coins.
With clear regulations and laws we could see the gray area start to be exploited again and the launch of all of these tokens.
We could call this possible scenario ICO 2.0 in which...
Regulatory stance and clarity become a real thing finally
Market turn over where we see companies launch their own tokens in terms of subscription payments etc. We could even see stocks or ownership of companies in this way at some point.
Faster releases - One of the biggest issues with the last ICO was the accumulation of wealth and then the years of sitting around waiting for the product or project to release. In nearly ALL cases those projects have died, never launched or where scams. What will make ICO 2.0 different? As many investors most likely didn't go through the first ICO phase.
This move could also once again spark a major rally out of Ethereum once again. Making it the go to crypto to launch your projects and it makes sense as that's where most of the capital is.
Currently Ethereum's market cap is coming in at a massive 400 billion dollars while the next layer two token being BNB or even SOL is only coming in at 100billion to 87 billion. So you can see why it currently makes more sense for people and companies to invest their time into building on a blockchain with the funds.
What new push are you looking forward to in 2025 for crypto?
