Zheng Guangtai 2025 Predictions and Observations CoinTrust has always adhered to the spirit of "solving problems with technology", and Block chain technology is the key to helping Web2 companies meet the challenges of transformation. We predict that by 2025, Block chain technology will achieve wider application in the fields of finance, supply chain management and digital authentication, among which, I am also optimistic that RWA (Real World Assets) will solve the problems of low liquidity, low transparency and poor transaction efficiency of physical assets (such as real estate and art). As more countries gradually establish regulatory frameworks for digital assets, we are pleased to see more operators willing to implement compliance and focus on innovation and development join the market, bringing more energy to Taiwan's block chain industry. In 2025, the public will no longer talk about digital coins, but focus on the convenience and efficiency of its open applications. _ Liu Shiwei / Founder and CEO of MaiCoin Group MaiCoin Group provides Virtual Money trading and Block Chain technology services, and is now the only Virtual Money trading group in Taiwan with an independent Block Chain technology company.
