Star: In the future, 50% of the global economy will operate on the blockchain

By: theblockbeats.news|2025/12/08 12:45:56

BlockBeats News, December 8th, OKX CEO Star stated at the invitation of Abu Dhabi Finance Week that the Internet generation (a generation that grew up in an Internet environment) is creating a brand-new on-chain economy. In the next few decades, around 50% of global economic activities will be conducted on the blockchain. This is not speculation but a generation that has grown up in a digital, mobile, and AI environment, requiring a financial infrastructure that matches their lifestyle.

He believes that this is a comprehensive upgrade of the economic system driven by the global digital population. Blockchain stands out because it breaks through the limitations of legacy systems from the Internet era. It provides a trustless programmable storage infrastructure, enabling 24/7 real-time global value transfer, gradually increasing transparency to reduce systemic risks, building an open network rather than a global financial island. In every technological cycle, more open, transparent, and efficient systems will eventually prevail, and the new generation always leads the embrace of change.

At WEEX, we recognize that the holiday season often brings a different trading experience for many users. As market participation slows, price behavior can feel less predictable and familiar trading rhythms may shift. For traders following AI news today or using AI trading tools, this period often highlights how market structure can influence model performance and short-term signals. Approaching these periods with clear expectations and a disciplined mindset can help traders better navigate seasonal market conditions.

The next phase of AI trading is defined by accountability and transparency, not performance — compliance is now a survival requirement, not a constraint.
