As cryptocurrency enters a new stage, the CEO of Inversion anticipates more blockchain usage.
According to Santiago Roel Santo, CEO of Inversion, 2025 has been a pivotal year for the cryptocurrency sector, with increased institutional involvement and clearer regulations influencing the market.
“We’re at a critical turning point in the industry, where businesses—not just on Wall Street but also on Main Street—are realizing the opportunity to harness blockchain technology, and it’s finally more legitimate and recognized,” he said.
Santo noted that widespread adoption is still in its infancy and likened the current crypto landscape to the internet in the early 2000s.
He cited cross-border remittance pilots by MoneyGram, stablecoin adoption by Visa and Revolut, and tokenization efforts by BlackRock as instances of how blockchain is already being used.
According to him, “in the same way that they began using the internet over the last 20 years, every business will be using blockchain technology over the next 10 to 20 years.”

He gave instances of how blockchain is already being used, including MoneyGram’s cross-border remittance pilots, Visa and Revolut’s adoption of stablecoins, and BlackRock’s tokenization activities.
“In the same way that businesses began using the internet in the last 20 years, they will all be using blockchain technology in the next 10 to 20 years,” he said.
He continued by saying that Inversion sees potential uses for blockchain in industries with large infrastructure expenses, such as finance, communications, and international trade. He pointed out that stablecoin usage is rapidly increasing and that Visa is already processing over $1 billion in stablecoin settlement volume, which is roughly four times what it was last year.
Santo added that because cryptocurrency markets are “risk-on,” US monetary policy is still crucial.
He pointed to Circle and Figure Technologies’ recent listings as instances of businesses integrating blockchain technology into conventional finance.
“The majority of people consider cryptocurrency to be a type of speculative asset. He predicted that there will be an increasing amount of discussion regarding the technology itself and how big businesses use it over the course of the next five to ten years.
