Crypto Markets Surge on Regulatory Winds, But Untapped Goldmines Await!

The crypto world is riding high on regulatory tailwinds, but get this - the real treasure is still buried deep, says Nansen's CEO. We're talking about untapped long-term opportunities that could make your head spin!

DeFi's been outrunning the regulators, but they're finally playing catch-up. On a sizzling Friday, July 18, Alex Svanevik, the big boss at Nansen, dropped some serious knowledge bombs at SCB10X's ReDeFine Tomorrow 2025 conference. He's convinced that there are still massive opportunities in crypto that we haven't even scratched the surface of yet.

The crypto bull market is raging, and it's clear that regulation is the rocket fuel behind this wild ride. Since the 2024 elections, Bitcoin's been on a tear, blasting off from $70,000 to a mind-blowing all-time high of $123,091. But here's the kicker - Svanevik says there's a huge gap between the lightning-fast pace of blockchain innovation and the snail's pace of regulatory catch-up.

"Crypto's moving at warp speed, but traditional finance and politics? They're stuck in the slow lane, taking forever to catch up. If you want to spot those long-term opportunities, you gotta understand this dynamic lag," Svanevik dropped truth bombs.

RWAs are the next 100x opportunity: Nansen CEO

Crypto's on fire right now, but Svanevik's not satisfied. He's calling it - we're nowhere near the full potential of this beast. He's betting big on the next game-changer: tokenized stocks and real-world assets.

"We've already hit all-time highs, and I'm telling you, there's more to come, especially with those promising L1 projects popping up. But the real deal, the thing that'll make blockchain value skyrocket 10x or 100x? It's getting real equity and assets on-chain, not just those meme coins everyone's speculating on," Alex Svanevik, Nansen, spilled the beans.

Real-world assets are blowing up in the crypto market lately. RedStone's report says they've hit a staggering $24 billion. And guess what's driving this surge? Private credit, baby. That's right, it's the real deal pushing this asset class to new heights.
