Blockchain growth in 2025 hinges on real usage and tech upgrades, not speculation or hype. Active users, measured by wallet addresses, are the key metric. DeFi, NFT ecosystems and stablecoin adoption are driving millions of new users. Partnerships with major platforms and institutional inflows through Bitcoin ETFs are accelerating adoption. Networks still face inflated metrics, scalability trade-offs, regulatory pressure and L1-L2 competition. The blockchain industry is growing rapidly, with new networks emerging to compete with established leaders.

Elon Musk’s vision for platform X included projections of reaching 600 million active users by 2025 and 931 million by 2028, indicating ambition for growth.
