Solana (SOL) and XRP (XRP) took the cryptocurrency market by storm in 2017 by introducing better ways to process more transactions and speed up international money transfers, respectively. With new problems emerging in the DeFi space, more innovative platforms are needed. Elluminex (ELX), a new AI project launching on the TON blockchain, promises to use cutting-edge technology to tackle these problems.

The cryptocurrency market is bracing for a significant altcoin season and established cryptocurrencies such as Cardano and Sui, could break out of a wider market slumber at any given moment. However, these Layer-1’s are more suitable as safety nets to hedge a portfolio, both likely limited to returns around 5x in this cycle.

Decentralized finance (DeFi) has been said to be the future of traditional finance (TradFi). With the advent of more DeFi protocols, everyday money-spenders and more financial enthusiasts across different markets will soon start to flood the blockchain network, taking digital money to the next level.

As decentralized finance (DeFi) gains global traction, predictions for its future continue to surge. VanEck , a renowned global investment management firm, has just dropped in a forecast for 2025, and it offers revealing insights on what may happen in the crypto industry in the coming year. This projection highlights opportunities in emerging projects like Elluminex (ELX), a new DeFi hub on the TON network poised to address critical interoperability challenges.
