In the roundtable discussion titled "How to Break the Deadlock in Crypto 2025," Adam Jin, advisor to the Solana Foundation, Jenny, head of the Chinese market for Avalanche, Cindy Shi, chief marketing officer of Kite AI, Sunova, growth head of GMGN, and Jaden Yan, chief architect of Aethir engaged in an in-depth discussion on industry trends and future changes.

Sunova, growth head of GMGN, stated that GMGN always adheres to a user-centered approach, and product strategies will be dynamically adjusted based on user preferences. She pointed out that Memes have strong wealth creation potential, creating economic value through "memeing," and in the future, Memes will have more application scenarios. Meanwhile, she believes compliance is a key factor in attracting traditional capital to enter the market and will accelerate the improvement of infrastructure and liquidity. Sunova emphasized that on-chain compliance is still in its early stages, but once implemented, GMGN will fully embrace this trend.

Jenny, head of the Chinese market for Avalanche, stated that Avalanche will focus more on the builder ecosystem in 2025 and has launched multiple incentive policies to support the growth of developers and communities. Jenny mentioned that the US is rapidly advancing crypto regulations under the new government cycle, and Avalanche will firmly support regulatory compliance. At the same time, she believes that RWA (Real World Assets) and payments present huge opportunities, and as the legal framework improves, more traditional financial institutions will accelerate their entry.

In the second roundtable themed "New Narratives of Crypto 2025," Feniz, growth head of XO, Joan Teng, founder of LOOP Space, Eligos Cheung, head of Asia region ecosystem for SaharaAI, JT Song, head of Greater China for 0G, and Anita, chief marketing officer of Juchain discussed the next stage of crypto narratives and innovative breakthroughs.

Feniz emphasized that community building is crucial in Web3 projects, and maintaining community activity while ensuring members benefit is an ongoing challenge. Regarding potential sectors, he mentioned that current crypto consumption mainly revolves around prepaid "recharge cards," and has yet to achieve a true "crypto credit card." Due to the high volatility of crypto assets, credit-based consumption products still need breakthroughs.

Joan Teng, founder of LOOP Space, introduced that LOOP Space has currently held over 100 crypto-themed Space events, attracting more than 150 KOLs. It is reported that LOOPSpace is an AI social platform powered by DeepSeek, introducing the GiftFi concept, aiming to disrupt the application of AI in social scenarios.
