Multicoin Capital eyeing AI agents, institutional ‘frenzy’ in 2025

The venture firm expects 2025 to see a proliferation of tokenized securities and the emergence of AI agent "alpha hunters."

Multicoin Capital expects 2025 to be a “pivotal year” for Web3 as artificial intelligence flourishes and tokenization triggers a “frenzy of institutionalization,” the venture capital firm said in a Jan. 7 report. 

The report, dubbed “Frontier Ideas for 2025,” anticipates the emergence of AI-run “zero-employee companies” and a “dizzying pace” of institutional adoption as security tokens finally “take off in a meaningful way.”

AI took giant strides in 2024, as AGI comes into view

Amid a year of high points, challenges remain. How will AI developers deal with a looming data shortage, for instance?

Artificial intelligence enjoyed a banner year in 2024. The frontier technology captured awards, corralled investors, charmed Wall Street and showed that it could reason mathematically — even explaining differential equations

It also drew the attention of global regulators, concerned about privacy and safety risks. Others worried that AI might soon evolve into artificial general intelligence (AGI) and then artificial superintelligence — surpassing human cognitive abilities. Catastrophic scenarios were posited and discussed: bioterrorism, autonomous weapons systems and even “extinction-level” events.

Here are 10 of 2024’s AI highlights.

ai16z mulls tokenomics shakeup, L1 launch

The agentic AI project’s contributors envision an AI-focused layer-1 with AI16Z as the native currency.

Agentic artificial intelligence platform ai16z is mulling launching its own layer-1 (L1) blockchain network as part of a broader tokenomics overhaul.

The project is considering creating a platform similar to pump.fun for launching AI agents, according to a post in its governance forum. It is also contemplating “[p]ositioning ai16z as an L1 blockchain for AI,” the post said.

Contributors of ai16z envision the AI agent launchpad as “the primary way to implement ‘flywheel’ tokenomics that drive value to $ai16z,” the project’s native token.

What’s next for DeFi in 2025?

Industry executives say Bitcoin staking, tokenized RWAs and AI agents will reshape the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Decentralized finance (DeFi) will hit an inflection point in 2025, as Bitcoin staking, real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, and agentic artificial intelligence (AI) catalyze adoption, several industry executives told Cointelegraph.

In 2024, Bitcoin surpassed $100,000 per coin for the first time as investors poured more than $100 billion into spot BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs). 

“Bitcoin’s (BTC) all-time high will spark renewed interest in crypto from institutions and regulators alike and should reinvigorate the entire crypto sector in 2025,” Dean Tribble, CEO of layer-1 network Agoric Systems, told Cointelegraph.
