AllianceDAO founder's review and prediction: meme coin, AI metaverse, and Ethercoin ETF are highlights, RWA awaits opportunities

2024 is coming to an end. From Trump's successful election and his promise to relax regulations, which sparked a market boom, to the explosion of meme coins and the emergence of AI Cryptocurrency, as well as the successful launch of EthercoinSpot ETF, the Cryptocurrency market has experienced a turbulent and opportunistic year. In the latest episode of the podcast platform Good Game, founded by Imron Khan and Qiao Wang, co-founders of the Web3 venture accelerator AllianceDAO, they review several major factors that have impacted the market in 2024 and look towards the future.

The meme coin outbreak, AI Cryptocurrency has emerged

Meme Coins have not only become a hot topic in the coin circle this year, but also gradually developed into a unique culture. The two hosts mentioned that they bought Meme Coin $WIF at a price of 3 cents at the beginning of this year and introduced it to the audience when it reached 30 cents. Within a few months, $WIF has appreciated more than 10 times, becoming a dark horse in the market.

The current price of $WIF has surged more than 10 times.

And as the market trend gradually changes at the end of the year, meme coins are not only relying on humorous and funny elements, but are beginning to combine AI and social culture. Two examples, Goat and ai16z, the two AI encryption projects' development activities on GitHub have significantly expanded the influence of meme coins in the community. It is believed that due to the low entry barrier and high social interaction of meme coins, they are expected to push meme coins towards entertainment and DeFi.

AI Metaverse is the most important this year

The two hosts also expressed their views on AI products and infrastructure. They believe that although the current market is focused on AI tools and infrastructure development, there will be more practical applications in the coming months, such as customized AI agents and enterprise-specific AI solutions. Furthermore, the battlefield of the current AI metaverse is mostly concentrated on the Base and Solana chains, and the two companies are competing for market dominance by optimizing infrastructure and expanding application scenarios.

EthercoinSpot ETF Assist in Institutional Liquidity

The two hosts believe that one of the most important market milestones in 2024 will be the launch of the EthercoinSpot ETF, which provides a new entry point for institutional investors and represents a key convergence between Cryptocurrency and traditional markets, especially with the participation of traditional institutions such as BlackRock and Fidelity. They also indicated that this move brings higher utility value to the DeFi and NFT sectors, which can help Ethercoin ($ETH) attract more liquidity from large institutions in the future.

The RWA market has not fully exploded yet and is still lurking.

Despite many people seeing 2024 as the year of Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization, the two believe that the market is still in its early stages. Although institutions like BlackRock have started tokenizing government bond funds, such applications are only provided to institutional users. The two also pointed out that RWAs still face issues such as regulatory uncertainty, high entry barriers, and inadequate user experience. However, with the gradual increase in future market demand and the preference for stable income, RWAs still have great development potential.

Price Outlook for Mainstream Coins in 2025

The two hosts also made bold predictions about the price trend of mainstream coins in 2025. The first and foremost is that Bitcoin ($BTC) may soar to 250K or even 350K. One of the important factors driving the price increase is undoubtedly the Trump administration's inclusion of Bitcoin in the 'National Strategic Reserve'.

While Ethercoin ($ETH) benefits from the launch of ETF, allowing institutional investors to enter the liquidity, it is expected to have stable growth in the future. As for Solana ($SOL), the two hosts mentioned that although Solana will face unlocking pressure next year, it still has a certain competitiveness in the long run due to its rapid ecological development and innovative capabilities, which will continue to attract investors' attention.

Two major directions worth paying attention to in the future

And the two hosts also offered the audience two directions worth paying attention to in 2025:

Future Key Technology: The key is to use market mechanisms to improve the decision-making process and provide scientific and transparent comparative tools for choices in different fields.

Celebrity Tokens: Although still in its early stages, future applications may cover multiple fields such as music, video, etc., making direct interaction between celebrities and fans possible.
