London, United Kingdom May 6, 2025 – The W3S Group is a global collective of seasoned entrepreneurs, technologists, designers, marketers, coders, and developers. As crypto-native professionals, we deliver strategic insights, regulatory understanding, deep technological expertise, and operational capabilities, combined with innovative capital to support organizations and startups utilizing Web3 technology.
With the conclusion of Token2049 in Dubai, it’s beneficial to consider the key takeaways and emerging trends that are likely to influence investments in the remaining quarters of 2025. The main stage featured a range of industry experts. While these experts always assert their awareness of current trends, the discussions on post-web and AI agents were noteworthy, as were the associated events, particularly those organized by University of Cambridge alumni, Animoca Brands, and the Pudgy Pengins.
I also consulted with several marketing specialists to gauge their perspectives on the current state of the market. What were the key insights? What conclusions did I draw, and more importantly, what strategies would I employ to launch a project in the latter half of 2025?
Firstly, the market is not particularly strong. Although Ethereum’s performance is not exceptional, angel investors, venture capitalists, and community groups are still actively investing.

, , and are currently the leading platforms for fundraising for startups. Echo is our top choice, with the other two platforms splitting team opinions for the second spot.

Coinlist offers easier listing opportunities, making it our second choice (by a narrow margin).
introduced its new approach to blockchain technology, known as Context Chains. They were present at Unchained and hosted a side event at T2049, to explain the necessary changes to blockchains to enable mass adoption. MOI’s event provided something novel for almost all attendees: the opportunity to connect with individuals outside the usual Web3 sphere. The influx of new participants suggests that MOI is onto something significant, a phenomenon unseen for several years. This is a compelling reason to be optimistic about MOI and the developments from their team.
In general, Token2049 was an enjoyable event. For the first time in a while, attendees expressed enthusiasm about market conditions and anticipation for their next event (Token2049 in Singapore) and the potential market upswing in the final quarter of 2025.
