OKX and Blockworks Research release "The Future of Blockchain Applications: Reshaping Global Industries" report
SYDNEY, June 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — OKX, a leading crypto exchange and global onchain technology company, in partnership with Blockworks Research, a crypto research platform, have announced the release of a report, titled 'The Future of Blockchain Applications: Reshaping Global Industries', which examines how finance, technology, brand and consumer goods, and sports and entertainment will be transformed by blockchain applications in the next 25 years.
The report finds that the ongoing development of defined blockchain use cases — cryptocurrencies and stablecoins; real-world asset tokenization; decentralized apps (dApps); wallets and payments — will act as a key disruptor across these vital business sectors. Research indicates that total assets under management of tokenized real-world assets could reach $600 billion by 2030, with 10% of global GDP potentially tokenized and stored on the blockchain by 2027.
The report also finds that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and crypto will converge, enabling more effective coding and troubleshooting, with crypto creating strong incentives for AI training and deployments.
According to report interviewee and Google Cloud Head of Web3 Strategy Rich Widmann, 'Blockchain is a pressure chamber of innovation…[In 20 years we see a] world where digital intelligence can seamlessly transact in digital forms, enhancing everyday tasks and interactions without the need for traditional devices. This reflects a broader ambition to integrate AI with blockchain for more efficient commerce and agreement codification.'
The research findings are based on interviews with industry experts, analysis from OKX and Blockworks Research, desktop research and existing industry surveys and studies. Interview respondents represent leading companies, including: Visa, Standard Chartered, Polygon, Amazon Web Services, Google, Aptos, Manchester City Football Club, McLaren, Franklin Templeton, and others.
Kate Cooper (pictured), CEO of OKX Australia, said, 'The OKX-Blockworks Research report highlights how blockchain and tokenisation are transforming industries worldwide, with 10% of global GDP projected to be tokenised by 2027, according to the World Economic Forum.
'Australia is strategically positioned to lead this shift in APAC, thanks to strong retail and institutional interest, including a 719% five-year surge in Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) crypto allocations through September 2024.
'With our robust tech infrastructure and a growing role in the APAC digital asset ecosystem, Australia has an opportunity to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of blockchain – particularly if regulatory frameworks continue to evolve to support innovation and investment.'
OKX Managing Partner and CMO Haider Rafique, added, 'At OKX, we envision a future where virtually every industry will be reshaped by onchain technology. Our report offers a glimpse into the transformative potential of blockchain, which we believe will fundamentally redefine business models and establish new economic paradigms. We're excited to witness and influence how blockchain technology will revolutionize the way we live, work and conduct business on a global scale.'
Blockworks Co-Founder Jason Yanowitz said, 'Working with OKX on this report has been a unique opportunity for us to explore the far-reaching implications of blockchain technology, and we're excited to share how this technology is poised to redefine our global economy. It's an honor to partner with OKX in bringing these insights to light, especially as we observe blockchain revolutionizing business practices, trading paradigms and value creation worldwide.'
Key insights by sector
Finance – Blockchain applications are reshaping value creation and financial products
Institutional investors will continue to allocate capital to digital assets and related products. Further development of trading products and custody services will make it easier for investors to allocate and increase exposure in the years ahead.
Stablecoins are primed to alter the global payments landscape. Major firms like Visa are investing money and resources, and today's top stablecoins continue to grow in market capitalization and use.
Crypto exchanges will rewire how assets trade in the world – this shift is already underway and has spurred market incumbents to explore innovations such as 24/7 trading hours.
Major financial services firms are moving toward a tokenized future. More than two-thirds of financial services interview respondents said they are developing capabilities to support the issuance and servicing of tokenized assets
Technology – Infrastructure is transforming onchain
Blockchain has changed how software, networks, and data systems are constructed and used.
The future of AI will be influenced by blockchain. Startups and developers are exploring how blockchain can decentralize the development of artificial intelligence systems.
Privacy and blockchain will improve symbiotically online, enabling users to transact pseudonymously while maintaining control of their personal data.
The convergence of blockchain, cloud computing, and AI is underway and could grow into a multi-trillion-dollar opportunity.
Brand and consumer goods – Blockchain is enhancing the brand experience
Major consumer and luxury brands are poised to tap blockchain's potential. Big box retail operators like Walmart and luxury brands such as LVMH are integrating blockchain to revolutionize supply chain transparency and production processes.
Consumer and luxury brands are experimenting with use cases that can reshape their businesses, including digital product passports, luxury-brand NFTs, smart contracts for business practices, and blockchain-based product lifecycle tracking.
Consumer and luxury goods are blending the physical and digital for an onchain future, and digital experiences will foster loyalty across different types of consumer businesses.
Sports and Entertainment – Blockchain is changing the game and fan experience
Sports organizations and teams are leveraging blockchain technology to enhance fan engagement through digital collectibles, team-specific tokens, and unique experiences. Blockchain applications are expected to expand into new areas including metaverse and sports betting.
Crypto will allow creators a greater share of — and control over — revenue. This is in stark contrast with today's state of affairs, in which creators in the film, TV, and music industries must share revenue with hosting platforms.
Blockchain will reshape the gaming landscape and provide financial incentives to players. Interoperability and the play-to-earn model can create more sustainable funding models for gamers.

The ocean is a vital support for life on Earth. However, it is now facing increasingly severe threats. Meanwhile, the access to clean water is also becoming a common challenge faced by the world, and the importance of seawater desalination technology to human health and economic growth is becoming more and more prominent. POWERCHINA has developed some of the world's largest and most advanced desalination projects, including the 900,000-ton Taweelah Desalination Plant in Abu Dhabi, which is the largest reverse osmosis seawater desalination facility globally to date. The plant supplies drinking water to nearly 2 million people, using cutting-edge technology to boost efficiency while minimising ecological disruption. As the world's largest seawater desalination engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor, POWERCHINA has built a strong technological foundation and a comprehensive system in desalination. The Company has completed several major projects across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Dubai, converting seawater into clean drinking water and helping to meet surging demand in arid regions. POWERCHINA has provided clean water to millions in the Middle East and North Africa, easing regional water shortages and supporting sustainable development. POWERCHINA integrates marine conservation into all project phases, from early-stage environmental impact assessments to biodiversity protection measures. Along coastal areas, the Company schedules construction to avoid sensitive periods like sea turtle nesting seasons and carries out marine plant relocation when needed. These actions are complemented by public education initiatives and stakeholder engagement campaigns that foster awareness and local support for marine sustainability. At a marine ecosystem public welfare activity organized by POWERCHINA, Major Ali, the president of EMEG said: 'Watching marine conservation films and listening to expert lectures have made me realize the crucial role that mangroves play in protecting the marine ecological environment, promoting carbon sequestration, and mitigating climate change. I have also come to understand the importance of protecting marine species such as sea turtles, as well as the specific methods for protecting marine ecosystems. Every action we take can make a difference, and participating in this activity is a way for me to express my commitment to protecting the ocean.' POWERCHINA sees marine protection as central to its global sustainable development strategy, answering calls to restore ocean health and biodiversity. The Company invests in green infrastructure and marine resilience to help balance human activity with vital ecosystems. As a global leader in clean, low-carbon energy construction, POWERCHINA is committed to sustainable, green development. It actively assumes environmental responsibilities and contributes to building a healthier, more beautiful environment in the communities where it operates. Photo – View original content:
