According to Phil Kwok (@kwok_phil), the Consensus 2025 conference identified several major crypto trends with direct trading relevance. Top discussions included the growing institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies, the rapid development of decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, and the expanding role of artificial intelligence within blockchain ecosystems. Attendees highlighted increased venture capital interest in Web3 projects and a surge in Layer 2 scaling solutions, which are expected to drive higher transaction volumes and market liquidity. These developments suggest potential bullish momentum for leading DeFi tokens, Layer 2 projects, and AI-integrated crypto assets, as cited from Kwok's conference recap (source: Twitter - @kwok_phil, May 20, 2025).
