Fidelity research indicates 2025 was a year of behind-the-scenes institutional groundwork, rather than price excitement, setting the stage for broader financial integration. Major banks signalled serious intent to build digital asset capabilities throughout 2025 – such structural commitments tend to be decisive once made. Mainstream discourse has shifted markedly, with “Bitcoin is dead” narratives largely disappearing as crypto is increasingly recognised as a permanent asset class that will remain regardless of price volatility. Wealth managers and registered investment advisors face easing barriers to recommending crypto to clients, potentially unlocking substantial capital inflows and introducing more stable, institutionally-driven demand patterns.

After Bitcoin, decentralized finance (DeFi) is the most significant innovation that came out of the blockchain paradigm. DeFi’s rapid growth mirrors its ambitious goal of recreating finance, having gone from under $1 billion total value locked (TVL) in early 2020 to $174 billion by late 2021.
