Golden Finance reported that Fisher Yu, co-founder of the Babylon project, wrote that staking next year will determine Bitcoin’s status in the global digital economy. In addition to benefiting retail investors by allowing them to earn passive rewards from their BTC holdings, Bitcoin staking also presents an attractive opportunity for businesses and governments, with governments around the world holding approximately 2.2 % of Bitcoin supply. The article stated that the huge opportunities brought by Bitcoin staking are expected to transform Bitcoin from a store of value and medium of exchange into an active asset, thereby further motivating people to participate more broadly in decentralized systems and digital assets. Bitcoin staking may just be the beginning of Bitcoin as the basis for innovation. In 2025, we may see the rise of other native use cases that will continue to solidify Bitcoin’s position as a foundational asset in the global financial ecosystem.
