Multicoin Capital predicts AI agents and institutional growth in 2025

Multicoin Capital foresees 2025 as a transformative year for Web3, with AI innovation and tokenisation playing pivotal roles.

In a report titled "Frontier Ideas for 2025," the venture capital firm predicts that AI-driven “zero-employee companies” will emerge and that tokenised securities will be a key factor in triggering significant institutional adoption.

According to Multicoin, security tokens will take off meaningfully, setting the stage for a rapid expansion of institutional interest.

The report also highlights the rise of AI agents, particularly “alpha hunters,” whose role will be to autonomously identify and capitalise on new tokens and crypto financial products.

Analysts at Multicoin believe that 2025 could be a landmark year for the crypto market, driven by political and financial developments.

With President-elect Donald Trump expected to take office and the success of Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) and Ether (CRYPTO:ETH) exchange-traded funds (ETFs), institutional investments are projected to increase substantially.

The firm noted that with Bitcoin ETFs surpassing $100 billion in net assets, institutional adoption is poised for a significant surge.

Multicoin also expects tokenised private credit and startup equity to gain traction in the early part of 2025, with public stock tokens following suit.

Financial institutions are expected to accelerate their efforts to offer crypto-related financial products, driven by the transparency and security offered by blockchain technology.

Looking ahead, the report predicts that AI agents will begin reshaping the digital economy, with more advanced models capable of executing complex tasks autonomously.

Multicoin anticipates that AI-driven “Alpha Hunters” will become central to the crypto space, actively trading to generate profits.

Furthermore, the firm projects that the crypto capital markets will fund the creation of zero-employee companies, which could lead to significant advancements across business operations.
