Nathan (Nenter) Chow, the newly appointed CEO of BitMart, made headlines with his keynote address at the TOKEN2049 conference in Dubai. Under the title “Shaping Crypto’s Future: AI-Powered Scale and Institutional Trust,” Chow spoke about the pressing issues facing the cryptocurrency market today and offered insights into how artificial intelligence might promote significant advancement within the industry.
Chow’s analysis painted a picture of a crypto market at a pivotal juncture. Despite recent growth trends since the start of 2025, he highlighted ongoing challenges including liquidity fragmentation and shortcomings in compliance measures. These hurdles, Chow argued, are preventing a full influx of institutional investors, as many major banking and investment institutions remain hesitant. Research indicates that the global digital asset sector could grow to a staggering $20-30 trillion by 2030. This will necessitate overcoming crucial barriers—like clarifying the synergy between traditional finance and crypto.
