Mid-Year Review: 5 Key Indicators Reflect Strong Momentum in the Encryption Industry
Mid-Year Assessment of the Development Status of the Encryption Industry: Analysis of Five Key Indicators
The encryption industry is moving towards a mature stage. At the end of last year, we proposed five core indicators to track the growth and development of the industry by 2025. Now, let's take a look at the mid-year performance of these indicators, the driving factors, and their importance.
Key Indicators Overview
1. Monthly Active Mobile Wallet Users: Increased by 23%
Importance Analysis
The wallet infrastructure has significantly improved, including low transaction fees, new account abstraction protocols (such as EIP-7702), and embedded wallet products. This has created favorable conditions for the development of the next generation of mobile wallets.
Industry Trends
A large payment company recently acquired a leading wallet infrastructure provider, demonstrating the importance that traditional financial institutions place on encryption wallet technology.
2. Adjusted Stablecoin Trading Volume: Increased by 49%
Importance Analysis
Stablecoins have successfully achieved product-market fit. Now, we can transfer USD value at extremely low costs and high speeds, making stablecoins an ideal payment tool. Major financial institutions are actively embracing this opportunity.
Industry Dynamics
3. Bitcoin and Ethereum ETP net inflows: Growth of 28%
Importance Analysis
Institutional capital is entering the encryption field on a large scale, marking the overall maturity of the industry. As the regulatory framework gradually becomes clearer, coupled with core issuing institutions successively launching related businesses, the net inflow of funds into exchange-traded products (ETPs) is expected to continue to grow.
Industry Trends
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission recently required a certain encryption asset's spot ETF applicants to update their S-1 filing materials, suggesting that such ETFs may soon be approved.
4. The proportion of spot trading volume of decentralized exchanges to centralized exchanges: an increase of 51%
Importance Analysis
As more users enter the encryption world, the usage ratio of decentralized exchanges is expected to gradually surpass that of centralized exchanges. This trend reflects the overall development of the DeFi ecosystem.
Industry Trends
A large cryptocurrency exchange platform recently announced that it will natively support decentralized exchange trading within its app, which will open up thousands of new asset trading pairs to users.
5. Total Transaction Fees (Block Space Demand): Decreased by 43%
Importance Analysis
The total transaction fee denominated in US dollars reflects the overall demand for block space on a specific blockchain, which is the actual economic value. However, since most projects are striving to reduce user fees, this metric involves multiple complex factors. Therefore, it is also important to focus on the unit transaction cost, which is the cost of consuming a specific amount of blockchain resources. Ideally, the total fee should continue to grow, while the unit resource consumption cost remains low.
Industry Discussion
Recently, there has been extensive discussion on social media regarding the importance of this indicator (and related indicators such as REV).
Additional Focus Indicators
The number of tokens with a monthly net profit exceeding 1 million USD: As of June 2025, there are only 22.
With the new regulatory environment and the implementation of upcoming market structure regulations, the path for tokens to complete an economic closed loop is becoming increasingly clear. This will drive more projects to return value directly to token holders in the form of earnings, thereby building a healthier token economic system.
