As the global financial system repeatedly grapples with high interest rates, geopolitical conflicts, and debt expansion, cryptocurrencies are quietly entering a new narrative phase. Bitcoin has completed a new halving cycle, with supply hardcoded into the protocol and unchangeable; the approval of spot ETFs has officially brought what was once considered a "marginal asset" into the mainstream financial landscape for the first time. Meanwhile, RWA (Real World Asset on-chain) is attempting to bring bonds, real estate, and income rights onto the blockchain. The integration of AI and Web3 is also turning the concept of "automated value networks" from theory into reality. The significance of cryptocurrencies has never been just about price fluctuations. At its core, it addresses several fundamental questions: How should trust be established in a highly uncertain world? Must value always be confirmed by centralized institutions? Can individuals truly own and freely transfer their assets and data? Of course, the industry remains chaotic. Speculation, bubbles, and regulatory battles are always present. But just like in the early days of the internet, noise doesn’t mean the wrong direction—rather, it’s an inevitable stage of technological transformation. Every market clearing leaves behind clearer structures and more mature participants. Cryptocurrencies are not the answer to everything; instead, they offer a new possibility outside the old system. They prompt us to rethink the boundaries of finance, the distribution of power, and the true meaning of "freedom" in the digital age. Cycles will fluctuate, but this experiment continues.
