Blockchain can still serve its purpose while catering to institutional finance needs through privacy technology, says Aztec Labs’ Zac Williamson. Blockchain is being pulled between traditional finance and its decentralized ethos as the industry shifts to serve institutional products. Zac Williamson, CEO of Aztec Labs, said early decentralized governance failures shifted blockchain’s trajectory away from community coordination. “There is a real risk that blockchain just becomes a slightly more efficient settlement layer than Visa or Mastercard,” he told Cointelegraph. “If we lose the social coordination side of this, then the entire point of the technology gets hollowed out.” Read more

Blockchain analytics are evolving with AI, turning raw onchain data into actionable insights for investors, law enforcement and everyday users. The blockchain industry has always prided itself on transparency. Every transaction on a public blockchain is permanently recorded, visible to anyone with an internet connection.  Still, with billions of transactions and hundreds of millions of wallet addresses, the sheer scale of that transparency can be paralyzing. Without the right tools, it’s less a crystal-clear ledger and more a haystack hiding countless needles. That is where blockchain analytics comes in.  The latest episode of The Clear Crypto Podcast discusses how blockchain’s radical openness has created both opportunities and challenges, and now, artificial intelligence (AI) may be the missing piece in making sense of it all.

Without localized risk detection and public–private cooperation, illicit capital will continue to flow unchecked, and trust in the system will collapse. Opinion by: Slava Demchuk, co-founder and CEO of AMLBot Asia’s cryptoverse has lost more than 1.5 billion in the first half of 2025 — more than during 2024, including Bybit and pig butchering scams in Southeast Asia. Most engines are built around typologies of Western money laundering. They miss custom laundering channels tailored to each region, which are popping up across Asia. Blockchain analytics firms must build customized regional risk libraries and collaborate with local law enforcement to combat the level and caliber of cryptocurrency-enabled crime in Asia. Failure to address this means criminal funds will still be able to lurk in plain sight and subvert the very integrity of global compliance systems. Read more

Making the US energy grid more resistant to shocks and maximizing grid uptime is central to the Trump administration’s AI strategy. Blockchain technology can help modernize the US electrical grid by marshaling human labor and stranded resources to create decentralized energy infrastructure, according to Cosmo Jiang, a general partner at venture capital firm Pantera. “All of civilization from the beginning of time has been built on the coordination of incentives, and blockchain is just a new way to incentivize people in a decentralized way that wasn't possible before,” Jiang told Cointelegraph in an interview.  The VC explained that companies in the gig economy have devised ways of allowing people to monetize their free time and resources outside of their normal working hours through freelance commitments. Blockchain can tap into this by coordinating unused infrastructure, labor, and resources to build out a decentralized energy grid, Jiang said:  Read more

Decentralization was blockchain’s founding promise—but in finance, milliseconds move markets. Unless Web3 can match Wall Street’s sub-second speed, users will keep choosing the faster rails of traditional finance. We see this in decentralized networks like Ethereum, which processes around 15 transactions per second, compared to Visa’s 24,000. Ever since the internet irrevocably changed finance, the […] The post Blockchain won’t win until it outruns TradFi appeared first on CryptoSlate.

Blockchain can reshape sports analytics as a secure, open and verifiable source of truth for performance data. From elite leagues to fantasy sports, blockchain breaks down data silos, ensures real-time accuracy and embeds trust in the sports ecosystem. Opinion by: Tristan Thompson, chief content officer and lead advisor, TracyAI In sports, data shapes nearly every decision, from trade deals and scouting reports to fantasy leagues and fan debates. In 2025, however, the systems that collect and distribute that data are broken. Stats are often inconsistent, delayed or siloed behind closed APIs.  The result? Athletes don’t own their performance data. Fans don’t trust what they see. And billions of dollars ride on numbers that can’t always be verified in real time. Read more

AI is reshaping gaming, but blockchain is the missing link for next-gen, AI-powered social gaming experiences. Centralized systems limit progress, ownership and creativity. Opinion by: Kin Wai Lau, CEO of ZKcandy Many people still don’t see the point of using blockchain in games. It’s a powerful tool that drives ownership and trading but is not vital for most gameplay types.  The rise of AI shifts the equation. Blockchain isn’t just a bonus feature for games enhanced with artificial intelligence — it’s critical for building consistent gameplay. Fast processors and cloud servers are not enough anymore. AI agents and players need blockchain to enable a truly social gaming experience, where achievements can be recorded and carried across different titles, turning games into connected social ecosystems. Without decentralized infrastructure, agentic gameplay risks becoming a centralized walled garden where progress is temporary, creations are locked in, and experience is limited.  Read more
