MANILA, Philippines—Attracting over 10,000 attendees, Philippine Blockchain Week 2025 took place at Manila’s renowned SMX Convention Center, spotlighting groundbreaking insights from global tech visionaries. A highlight of the event on June 10th was a compelling keynote by Fred King, widely recognized by his online alias, CryptoSnake.
Presenting on the Expo Stage, King’s talk, “The Future of Blockchain Tech: 2035,” skillfully combined practical insights with forward-looking predictions. Drawing from his extensive background in blockchain, King provided attendees a clear roadmap of blockchain’s trajectory over the next decade.
Snake notably highlighted blockchain’s disruptive impact on traditional banking, spotlighting innovative projects like Tangem Pay—a self-custodial Visa card integrating cold wallet technology—demonstrating real-world tools capable of fostering financial inclusion, especially significant in markets like the Philippines, where millions remain unbanked despite extensive smartphone use.
Addressing asset tokenization, Fred acknowledged pioneering initiatives such as Propy’s early efforts in tokenized real estate, alongside substantial milestones by industry leaders like Securitize and Centrifuge, which have collectively tokenized billions in real-world assets. His forecast painted a vivid picture of a future where tokenization reshapes global finance by democratizing access to investment and enhancing economic transparency.
In the sphere of content creation, King underscored the transformative potential of decentralized platforms, specifically citing Odysee and Audius as frontrunners in providing creators with equitable monetization models and robust protection against censorship. These platforms, Fred King emphasized, are positioned to fundamentally disrupt traditional media and entertainment landscapes by 2035.
Further enriching his address, CryptoSnake explored the evolving debate between Bitcoin and gold, advocating Bitcoin’s superior qualities as a digital reserve asset. He illustrated how Bitcoin’s capped supply, transparency, and ease of verification starkly contrast with gold’s opaque nature and practical limitations, predicting Bitcoin could emerge as the primary global reserve asset in the coming years.
Fred King’s engaging keynote at Philippine Blockchain Week reaffirmed his stature as a leading educator and advocate within the blockchain community, inspiring attendees and underscoring his influential voice in the future development and widespread adoption of blockchain technology.
