At the International Economic Forum, experts pointed out three future development directions for Web3: first is tokenization, which enhances financial transaction efficiency and breaks down geographical barriers; second is the iteration of payment methods, promoting the application of digital assets in settlement; and finally, the rise of AI, combined with cryptocurrencies to become a new foundation for payments. These directions collectively indicate that the financial system is being reconstructed.

【Crypto World】At the recent International Economic Forum, a seasoned industry expert shared three key promising directions for the future development of Web3.

First is tokenization. He believes this is the key to upgrading the financial system. By bringing assets on-chain and tokenizing them, not only can the efficiency of financial transactions be greatly improved, but traditional financial geographical restrictions can also be broken. Imagine, any asset that can be tokenized, and liquidity can be maximized.

Second is the iteration of payment methods. The integration of cryptography with traditional payments is already happening. In more and more application scenarios, people are beginning to accept settlement with digital assets. This is not just a simple technological replacement, but a natural evolution of financial infrastructure.

The third key word is AI. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, machines’ demand for value exchange will increase. Cryptocurrency, with its inherently borderless and programmable features, will naturally become the payment infrastructure of the AI era. This combination is not forced but an inevitable intersection of logical development.

What is the common point of these three directions? They all point to the same trend: the financial system is being reconstructed, and blockchain and Web3 are the foundational infrastructure of this reconstruction.

I've been hearing about tokenization for years, but what's actually being implemented? Isn't it just the same old crypto speculation?

I'm optimistic about tokenization, but the implementation of payments is still a long way off. I hear about integration every day, but why can I still only use fiat currency?

How many times have we said "tokenization," and how many have actually been implemented?

Tokenization, payments, AI? Buddy, I've heard this spiel at least eight hundred times. Every time, it sounds just like the real thing. And the result? One wave after another of scams.
