Multicoin Capital anticipates a transformative year for the Web3 sector in 2025, driven by the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence and the tokenization of securities, according to a recent report. The venture capital firm forecasts the rise of AI-managed “zero-employee companies” and a rapid increase in institutional engagement, as security tokens achieve significant uptake.
The report speculates that investors will increasingly rely on AI agents dubbed “alpha hunters” to navigate the burgeoning landscape of new tokens and financial products native to the crypto sector. This shift comes in the wake of President-elect Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. elections, which is expected to energize institutional investments in Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
Multicoin also predicts that the tokenization of private credit and startup equity will gain momentum, setting the stage for a broader adoption of public stock tokens. Financial institutions are projected to race toward integrating basic crypto financial products into their offerings, leveraging the transparency and security provided by blockchain technology as a counterpoint to traditional finance’s often opaque systems.
The report further suggests that 2025 will see the advancement of agentic AIs—machines capable of executing complex goals without human intervention—reshaping the digital economy by autonomously developing Web3 applications, launching tokens, and engaging with users. These AI developments are expected to lay the groundwork for novel business models, including Zero-Employee Companies, potentially leading to revolutionary breakthroughs across various sectors.
