The development trajectory of the cryptocurrency ecosystem over the past decade has witnessed a transformation from a single asset to diverse innovations. In 2009, Bitcoin was born, opening the door to decentralized assets. By 2010, mining became mainstream, and in 2011, various altcoins emerged endlessly. The turning point came in 2015—Ethereum's emergence revolutionized the game with smart contracts. In 2017, the ICO boom swept the market, fundamentally reshaping project financing methods. In 2019, DeFi began to sprout, recreating traditional financial functions on-chain. In 2020, liquidity mining exploded; in 2021, NFT culture erupted; in 2022, DAO governance models emerged; in 2023, AI and crypto integration became a new trend; in 2024, real-world asset tokenization (RWA) became a focus for institutions. By 2025, the wave of tokenization is reshaping asset forms. Each stage marks the deepening and evolution of the Web3 ecosystem.

It has been proven that 2015 was the true watershed moment. Without smart contracts, we would still be mining and gossiping... Speaking of RWA, only now are institutions starting to take it seriously. Cross-chain interoperability is probably the bottleneck, right?

The ICO craze in 2017 was really crazy. Looking back now, it feels like it was just yesterday... By the way, is RWA truly the next big trend, or are institutions just harvesting retail investors?

I made a fortune from the ICO wave in 2017. Now, looking at RWA, it's definitely the next big thing.

To be honest, the pace of iteration over the past ten years has been incredible, from simple mining to RWA now, it feels like a new concept every year.

To be honest, I lost a lot during the 2017 ICO wave. Now looking at RWA, I feel it's the real big deal.

That ICO wave in 2017 really caused me to lose a lot. Now it seems like RWA is the real gold mine.
