Trust Wallet Discusses the Challenges and Future of Crypto Wallets

Global adoption of digital assets is predicted to fuel a rise in cryptocurrency wallet usage in the coming years. In preparation for a surge in adoption, developers are focused on increasing security sophistication and expanding functionality.
BeInCrypto spoke with the Trust Wallet team to discuss the future of crypto wallets, their utility, and the barriers that still need to be overcome to catapult wallets into mainstream markets.
Crypto Wallet Adoption Expected to Grow Significantly
In recent years, the crypto industry has grown remarkably, reflected by an overall global increase in adoption. According to a 2024 report from Triple-A, today, 562 million people across the globe own some or various forms of digital currencies, representing a 6.8% increase from the previous year.

As cryptocurrency gains mainstream and institutional acceptance, the role of crypto wallets becomes increasingly crucial. These platforms provide secure management and storage of users’ digital assets, including private keys, while ensuring accessibility to their holdings.
Though crypto wallet use declined in 2022 following the crypto winter and the FTX collapse, researchers expect their market size to increase considerably in the coming years.
Reports estimate the global crypto wallet market size was around $3.22 billion in 2024. This is projected to reach $33.67 billion by 2033, with a compound annual growth rate of 29.81%. It views the increasing acceptance of cryptocurrencies as a legitimate asset class as the primary driver of market growth.
Institutional adoption of Bitcoin and Ethereum, including their availability as exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States, particularly marked a turning point for cryptocurrencies previously excluded from traditional finance.
With 2025 now in full force, wallet developers are focusing on refining software and security technology to keep up with an increasingly competitive market.
Integrating Crypto Wallets Into the Wider FinTech Market
Pierre Lavarague, Head of Business Development at Trust Wallet, is optimistic about the future of crypto wallets. In a conversation with BeInCrypto at NFT Paris, Lavarague said that success in this sector depends on its integration with broader, more traditional financial markets.
“I think one of the key successes in 3 to 5 years for wallets is if we manage to not be seen as a crypto wallet, but as a fintech for mass markets. This means to move outside of the niche market we have right now, to something more common in terms of habits and vision from all the different users we can have,” he said.
Making the transition seamless for users will ensure this can happen.
“So the idea is just to become the next FinTech, where the user will be able to interact with a lot of financial services all powered by blockchain, but without noticing it. I’m going to consider the job done when someone’s going to interact with Trust Wallet as they would with any other FinTech app,” Lavarague added.
But for that to happen, crypto wallets must address one of the most critical obstacles they face today – onboarding.
Meeting New Users in the Middle
Crypto wallets face an increasing need to accommodate users with varying levels of technical expertise to facilitate wider adoption.
“I think today one of the key challenges is how to onboard people in crypto, DeFi, or Web3 in general. It’s something very new from a habitual perspective. If you randomly take 100 people in the street and ask them to download the wallet and go on any DeFi protocol to interact with it, the drop rate is going to be close to 100 people,” Lavarague explained.
The user experience must be smooth and simple to ensure customers can easily navigate the wallet’s functionalities.
“We want to have a seamless onboarding process to remove most of the friction Web2 people can face when interacting with a wallet or Web3, just to give them an experience as close to the Web2 experience they can have,” he told BeInCrypto.
Emerging technologies can also help with this process.
The Role of AI in Simplifying the Onboarding Process
As Web3 builders continue to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities into their projects, Lavarague believes the same can be done to improve user interaction with crypto wallets.
“I think AI, fed with the right data from the user, can bring a lot of help to design this custom experience. We could imagine an AI designing the full user journey based on his on-chain action, age, preference, all the data the user is willing to give us during the onboarding. AI could use that to tailor fully personalized experience inside the app,” he said.
This technology can also be similarly used to facilitate the customer experience for those users who are already well-versed in crypto and use their wallets for several different purposes.
“From my perspective, where the AI will bring most of the value is to have a custom experience for every user inside the wallet. So, you can imagine one single app, but millions of different user experiences depending on your preference, on-chain activity, and your center of interest. Are you more into NFTs? Are you more into swapping tokens? Are you more into yield farming or stablecoin lending? You can imagine the AI reshaping the parts of your own user experience based on how you’re using the product to better fit your needs,” Lavarague explained.
AI can also safeguard against increasingly sophisticated attacks against user security.
Safeguarding Against Sophisticated Cyber Attacks
Security remains a key concern for crypto wallets. A 2025 Chainalysis report revealed that compromised private keys were the primary cause of cryptocurrency theft in 2024, representing the largest share of stolen funds.
These thefts totaled $2.2 billion, an increase from the $1.7 billion in 2023. The number of hacking incidents also surged.

Eve Lam, Trust Wallet’s chief information security officer, said wallet developers are enhancing their technologies in several key ways to address the increasing sophistication of cyberattacks.
“One significant improvement is the integration of AI-driven vulnerability detection in development pipelines. By incorporating AI into the development process, vulnerabilities in smart contracts and blockchain systems can be identified and mitigated more effectively. Automated security checks and predictive tools allow developers to catch potential issues before they are deployed. So, AI is becoming a fundamental component of secure blockchain development,” Lam told BeInCrypto.
At the same time, the increasing sophistication of blockchain-related crimes requires real-time monitoring and effective fund recovery solutions. AI can help with this.
“Crypto wallets are focusing on enhanced on-chain threat monitoring and recovery mechanisms. AI-powered tools enable proactive risk detection. Also, improved tracking on the blockchain increases the chances of recovering lost funds. Advanced forensic tools that trace the movement of stolen assets through obfuscation techniques provide hope for victims and raise the bar for attackers, making it more difficult for them to succeed,” Lam explained.
Deploying these mechanisms in 2025 will be crucial to curb the rise of cyber attacks targeting user assets on crypto wallets.

Solana (SOL) Price Rises 13% But Fails to Break $136 Resistance

Solana (SOL) has climbed 13% over the past seven days, showcasing strong short-term performance. While momentum indicators like the RSI and EMA lines remain supportive, recent price action suggests that bullish strength may be stalling just below a key breakout point.
At the same time, the sharp drop in BBTrend indicates weakening trend strength and fading volatility, often a sign of incoming consolidation or market indecision. With technicals at a crossroads, SOL’s next move will likely depend on whether buyers can regain control or if a broader pullback begins to unfold.
SOL RSI Rises Sharply, but Pause in Momentum Signals Caution
Solana’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently at 60.35, marking a noticeable rise from 45 just two days ago.
This jump signals growing bullish momentum, although the RSI has remained stable since yesterday, suggesting that upward pressure may be easing for now.
The increase reflects renewed buying interest in recent sessions, pushing SOL closer to overbought territory but not quite there yet. This leveling off could indicate that the market is taking a breather before deciding its next move.

The RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and magnitude of price movements, ranging from 0 to 100. Values above 70 typically indicate that an asset is overbought and may be due for a pullback, while readings below 30 suggest oversold conditions, potentially signaling a buying opportunity.
With Solana’s RSI at 60.35, the asset is approaching bullish territory but hasn’t yet entered an extreme zone.
This positioning suggests that while recent momentum is positive, SOL could face some short-term consolidation or resistance before continuing higher—unless strong buying interest resumes and pushes the RSI closer to overbought levels.
SOL Trend Strength Weakens as BBTrend Falls Below 6
Solana’s BBTrend indicator is currently at 5.69, a significant drop from the 17.5 reading observed just four days ago.
This sharp decline suggests that volatility around SOL’s price has cooled notably, and the strength of the prior trend is weakening.
While BBTrend doesn’t signal direction on its own, the drop indicates that the strong movement, likely bullish, has lost momentum, and SOL may be entering a phase of consolidation or uncertainty.

BBTrend, short for Bollinger Band Trend, measures the strength of a price trend based on the expansion or contraction of Bollinger Bands.
Higher values suggest a strong, directional move (either up or down), while lower values point to weaker trends and reduced volatility. With BBTrend now at 5.69, Solana is in a much less volatile environment, which often precedes a breakout or a reversal.
For now, this reading signals that the recent momentum is fading. Unless volatility picks up again, SOL’s price may remain range-bound in the short term.
Golden Cross Looms for SOL, But $136 Barrier Still Holding Strong
Solana’s EMA lines continue to reflect a bullish structure, with the short-term average trending above the long-term one—suggesting that positive momentum remains intact.
A potential golden cross is also forming, which, if confirmed, would further reinforce the bullish outlook.
However, despite this favorable setup, Solana price has struggled to break through the $136 resistance level over the past few days, indicating that buyers may be losing steam at this key threshold.
Tracy Jin, COO of MEXC told BeInCrypto:
“Amid widespread volatility, Solana has stood out with notable strength. A combination of favorable technical setups and institutional tailwinds — such as the launch of the first spot Solana ETFs in North America — has helped drive a short-term rally. The token’s reclaim of leadership in decentralized exchange activity and rising total value locked further support the bullish case.”

If SOL manages to push above $136 with strong volume, it could open the path toward the next targets at $147 and potentially higher. But if the current momentum fades and the price reverses, a test of support at $124 becomes likely.
About Solana next moves, Jin told BeInCrypto:
“Despite recent gains, SOL’s near-term outlook remains sensitive to broader liquidity conditions. Any deterioration in market confidence — whether from macro shocks or renewed volatility in Bitcoin — could cap upside potential.”
A breakdown below that could accelerate losses toward $112, and in the event of a deeper correction, SOL could even revisit the $95 region.

Pi Network Roadmap Frustrates Users Over Missing Timeline

Pi Network released its Mainnet Migration Roadmap today. The roadmap lays out a three‑phase plan to move tens of millions of Pioneers who are still waiting to be moved to the open network. It also introduces new rewards, such as referral bonuses.
However, unlike most project roadmaps, Pi network didn’t provide any estimated date or timeline. This lack of clarification has frustrated early adopters who still await key rewards and clarity on rollout pacing.
Pi Network’s Three‑Phase Migration Plan
According to the roadmap, Pi Network will first complete initial migrations for Pioneers already in the queue. This batch covers verified base mining rewards, Security Circle contributions, lockup commitments, utility‑app usage rewards, and confirmed Node rewards for some operators.
After clearing the first wave, the team will tackle second migrations, adding all referral mining bonuses linked to KYC‑verified team members. Pi says these referral rewards will follow once the current queue finishes.
Finally, the network will move into ongoing periodic migrations—potentially monthly or quarterly—to process any remaining bonuses and rewards.
The cadence “is to be determined,” the roadmap notes.
Community Concerns and Critical Gaps
A thorough observation reveals several gaps and potential concerns in the roadmap.
For one, the plan never discloses how many Pioneers remain in the queue or the network’s daily migration capacity. Without those figures, users can’t predict when their own migration will occur.
Node operators report that some “confirmed Node rewards” have landed, but criteria for qualification remain opaque. Early node runners worry they may miss out without clear benchmarks.
Many Pioneers say they have tapped their claim buttons daily since migration opened yet still lack basic mining rewards. They question whether those base rewards and deferred referral bonuses will ever arrive in phase two.
Also, the roadmap admits the UI’s “Transferable Balance” underestimates actual migrated amounts to save resources. Users fear this pessimistic display could erode trust if their true balances remain hidden.
“I thought we were mining all of these PI coins this whole time? I thought the security circles were the Consensus Mechanism. It kinda seems to me like there isn’t a blockchain, and never was one. What kind of “Blockchain protocol” would “Require” all tokens to be minted at genesis?” one community member wrote.
Crucially, Pi offers no audit or error‑resolution process for users who spot mismatches in their historical mining data.
Given six years of complex records, occasional disputes seem inevitable, but the roadmap remains silent on redress.
All migrations hinge on KYC completion, yet the team omits any scaling targets or timelines for identity verification. A bottleneck here could stall every subsequent phase.
The schedule also ignores how major token unlock events—such as the roughly 108.9 million PI tokens due to release this month—will align with migration waves.

Finally, some Pioneers challenge the project’s foundational narrative. They note that Pi’s statement “all tokens were minted at genesis” contradicts six years of “mining.”
This raises doubts about whether Pi ever operated on a true blockchain protocol.
In the past month, PI price has dipped by over 45%. To sustain momentum and community trust, the team must now supply concrete timelines, transparent criteria, and clear audit paths for its Mainnet migration.

MEME Rallies 73%, BONE Follows

The meme coin market is experiencing a surge in investor interest, helping certain tokens recover from their all-time lows (ATLs). Memecoin (MEME) is one such token that has avoided a new ATL and also posted a significant 73% rise.
BeInCrypto has analyzed two other meme coins that have performed well over the past day, making them important tokens to watch.
Memecoin (MEME)
- Launch Date – November 2023
- Total Circulating Supply – 43.11 Billion MEME
- Maximum Supply – 69 Billion MEME
- Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) – $135.37 Million
MEME had a rough week, hitting a new all-time low at $0.00137. However, the altcoin rebounded sharply, rising by 38% in the last 24 hours to trade at $0.00196. This surge marks a significant recovery, driven by renewed interest in meme coins.
The recent surge in MEME’s price was fueled by a sudden spike in interest for joke tokens, driving a 73% intraday high. To maintain its gains, MEME must successfully breach and flip the $0.00228 resistance into support, a critical level for sustaining its upward momentum.

If MEME experiences profit-taking from investors, it could reverse course and drop back down to the all-time low of $0.00137. A decline through this level would invalidate the bullish outlook and signal further challenges for the meme coin.
Bone ShibaSwap (BONE)
- Launch Date – July 2021
- Total Circulating Supply – 249.89 Million BONE
- Maximum Supply – 250 Million BONE
- Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) – $71.67 Million
BONE posted an impressive 18.5% rise over the last 24 hours, trading at $0.285. The altcoin is currently under the key resistance of $0.295. Given the recent momentum, it seems poised to breach this level, signaling a potential upward trajectory for the token in the near future.
Flipping the $0.295 resistance into support would open the door for BONE to target its next major resistance at $0.348. A sustained push above this level could drive further bullish sentiment, propelling the token toward even higher price levels.

However, if BONE fails to breach $0.295, the bullish momentum could fade. A decline from this point could send the meme coin back towards $0.232, invalidating the optimistic outlook. Such a reversal would likely create caution among investors, delaying potential upward movement.
- Launch Date – April 2024
- Total Circulating Supply – 999.96 Million BAN
- Maximum Supply – 1 Billion BAN
- Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) – $40.54 Million
BAN, a small-cap token, has caught the attention of investors, rising nearly 25% in the last 24 hours to trade at $0.040. This surge highlights the growing interest in the meme coin market, with BAN standing out despite its smaller market capitalization.
Inspired by the infamous banana taped to a wall, BAN gained significant fame after being purchased by Tron’s founder, Justin Sun, for $6.2 million last year. If the token continues its upward momentum, it could breach the $0.045 barrier and potentially flip it into support, securing its gains.

However, failing to break through the $0.045 resistance could lead to a drop back to $0.032. If this occurs, it would invalidate the bullish outlook and erase the recent gains, putting investors on alert for further price declines.
