In a bull run, every coin you’ve invested in is likely to show profits. However, if you’re tuned into the right trends, like NFTs in 2021, you can achieve life-changing returns. 

Here are the top trends for 2024/2025 you don’t want to miss.

Gaming

Gaming is leading the change with blockchain.

Unlike other sectors, such as financial systems, where blockchain integration may take years to fully materialize, the gaming industry is already embracing and actively utilizing blockchain technology as I write these words.

Imagine playing your favorite game and earning unique items backed by NFTs—each sword or shield is unique to you. 

This is revolutionary, especially considering how games like Fortnite generate billions annually from in-game purchases, like character skins.

This shift is paving the way for 'play-to-earn' games, where players in any part of the world can earn a living by trading unique items they've earned in-game. 

We’re on the brink of a real economy within the world’s biggest games, and gaming coins are poised to be a major trend in this upcoming cycle.

The total gaming market cap is currently $15 billion. No one would be surprised if it reached $150 billion next year.

Whether it is platforms working on scaling NFTs like Immutable, developing gaming infrastructure like Beam, or creating brand new games like The Sandbox, there are many opportunities in this sector. 

AI

AI is everywhere these days, and it’s quickly becoming the hottest topic of 2024.

It's starting to transform every industry, and although there's still much to achieve, AI is rapidly capturing significant market shares. 

This excitement is why AI coins are becoming so popular. 

Combine AI with blockchain, and you've got the winning keywords for tech investors.

The total AI market cap is currently $22 billion and, for reference, the memecoin Dogecoin alone reached a valuation of $70 billion last cycle.
Imagine how high this market could go.

Whether you’re interested in a Layer 1 cloud computing platform like NEAR, or a decentralized GPU solution like Render, be sure that AI will remain a key trend for years to come.

RWA

We've previously discussed the potential of Real World Assets (RWA) in a past newsletter. 

Now, it's becoming a popular topic among institutions like BlackRock, which are recognizing how tokenizing real-world objects on the blockchain can transform many sectors.

Honestly, it makes perfect sense.

Much like in gaming, tokenization allows the creation of entirely new economies, secured by blockchain technology. 

Imagine using NFTs to guarantee the uniqueness of luxury items, or splitting a new real estate project into millions of shares so that anyone can own a part of it. You could even track the supply chain of your products or food to increase efficiency.

Nearly every industry could see benefits from blockchain in the coming years, and this trend is likely to take off in this cycle. 

Currently, the major cryptocurrencies focusing indirectly on RWA include Avalanche, Chainlink, and Vechain.

Trends play a crucial role during a bull run. 

The euphoria in an upward cycle is so intense that tapping into the right trends can significantly transform your portfolio. Always stay alert to emerging trends and identify which ones are gaining the most hype. 

By doing so, you will ride the bull run like a pro.
