Frank King’s keynote speech at Philippine Blockchain Week 2025, titled “The Future of Blockchain Tech 2035,” discusses the transformative potential of blockchain technology across four key areas:
Banking By 2035, traditional bank accounts may be replaced by self-custodial wallets, offering equal access to global financial tools for everyone, regardless of location or background. King highlights Tangent Pay as an innovative solution combining cold wallet security with the ease of a debit card.
Real World Assets (RWAs) The tokenization of real assets like real estate, US treasury bills, and precious metals is gaining traction. This allows for fractional ownership, use as collateral for DeFi loans, and integration into yield strategies. Companies like Securitize and Centrifuge are leading this shift, with billions of dollars in assets already tokenized.
Entertainment Sector Blockchain transparency, combined with AI fraud detection, could revolutionize the entertainment industry by ensuring fair compensation for content creators and reducing censorship. Decentralized platforms like Odysee for video and Audius for music are already growing, offering creators more control and direct monetization opportunities.
Global Economy King argues that Bitcoin is poised to become the world’s top reserve asset, surpassing gold due to its transparency, fixed supply, and resistance to inflation. By 2035, Bitcoin could form the backbone of the global economy, leading to fully transparent economies where countries’ financial health is easily verifiable.
King emphasizes that blockchain’s core principles of equal opportunities, freedom, and transparency are driving progress and will lead to a future where everyone has equal access to financial tools, real assets are tokenized, media giants no longer control entertainment, and the global economy is fully transparent.
