In 2025, the year of Web3, new narratives emerged one after another. Don't listen to those who shout that there are no opportunities; in fact, hot money has been flowing continuously. The question is whether you can identify the right direction.

By breaking down the industry hotspots over these 12 months, we can understand where the market's attention has shifted. From the beginning to the end of the year, from meme coins to various emerging sectors, each wave represents the market’s trend.

The frenzy of meme coins was the wildest part of 2025. Many people made huge profits here, while others lost everything chasing high prices and doubted their lives. This is the norm in Web3—opportunities and traps are often just a small price fluctuation apart.

Looking back on this year, we need to clarify: which narratives truly changed the market landscape? Which were just fleeting hype? Which opportunities made you money, and where did you stumble?

Understanding these will help you move more steadily in 2026. After all, this year's lessons are the map to avoid pitfalls next year.

Listen, I never got on the meme coin wave. Now it’s all just leek farms, and those making money have already left. Chasing highs? It’s really brutal. I know a few friends who went all-in on a certain coin, and they’re still lying on the ground. The trend? It’s right there. The key is to survive until you see the next one. It’s basically a game of probability. Betting on luck is less effective than studying fundamentals. These days, blindly following the trend only leads to death. By 2026, it’ll probably be the same old story—no real change, just a new narrative wrapped around the old one. I just want to know if those who say “avoid the pits” are also stuck in one themselves. Web3 always follows the 80/20 rule; it’s just that this time, 80% of people might lose even more thoroughly. This article is correct, but not many people understand it. Most are still asking how to buy the dip. Crazy about meme coins? It’s just collective irrational exuberance. The bubble will eventually burst. It’s not hard to understand once. The hard part is staying calm and holding on when the next wave comes.

Meme coins this time are really a tale of two extremes. I know several people who chased the high and got trapped until now; some made a fortune, while others want to quit the scene. It seems that hot money is indeed moving, the key is to have good judgment. 2025 will pass like this, some will return with full gains, others will lose everything. Let's keep going next year.

I really missed the boat on that meme coin wave. Watching others make money is a bit frustrating. Next time, I definitely won't be so timid.
