Blockchain competition has shifted from TPS to transaction ordering layers. Ordering directly affects market makers' bid-ask spreads and depth. The new generation of ordering innovations is transitioning from "general ordering" to "application-aware ordering," which could be the key turning point for DEX to surpass CEX.

Author: Nancy, PANews The curtain of 2025 gradually falls. Looking back on this year, the crypto world has undoubtedly reached a watershed moment. The industry has officially bid farewell to the wild gold rush era of the past, shedding T-shirts for suits, and opening the door to mainstream financial institutions. In this annual exam of moving from crypto to the mainstream world, PANews reviews the annual responses of 11 leading projects, covering tracks such as public chains, DeFi, stablecoins, cross-chain, and AI. These projects are no longer merely engaged in an arms race based on performance metrics but are collectively shifting towards compliance, practicality, and large-scale development. However, the completion of infrastructure has not yet directly led to a booming proliferation of crypto applications. The industry still faces issues such as homogenization and internal competition, difficulty in capturing value, and insufficient product-market fit. Looking ahead to 2026, these projects are focusing on integrating liquidity, breaking through scenarios to reach wider audiences, and developing sustainable economic models.
