According to Hashed’s analysis, stablecoins have become the foundational transactional layer, AI agents are emerging as new participants in economic activity, and Real World Assets (RWA) alongside private credit serve as key bridges between blockchain and the traditional economy. The fund regards 2025 as the market’s “coming of age” moment, where execution replaces mere ideas as the main success factor.
This report provides valuable insight into how cryptoeconomics might evolve over the next few years, setting the course for 2026 and beyond.
