Do you think INJ is just an ordinary public chain? Wrong. Since its establishment in 2018, it has had only one goal: to rewrite the underlying rules of global finance with code.
And a series of explosive developments in 2025 are turning this ambition into reality, inch by inch. This is no longer about catching up, but about building a whole new parallel financial world.
1. Technical Nuclear Explosion: Becoming the King of the 'Universal Virtual Machine'
The most hardcore upgrade is the official launch of INJ's native EVM execution layer. This is not a simple compatibility, but a declaration that INJ has entered the era of 'four-core-driven' super application chains.
CosmWasm (Cosmos ecosystem native)
Solana VM (Ultimate Speed Experience)
Move VM (Aptos/Sui equivalent security model)
EVM (Absorbing Ethereum's trillion-dollar ecosystem)
What does this mean?
Developers can now deploy contracts on INJ using the most familiar Solidity language while enjoying:
Lightning speed: 0.8 seconds block time, transaction costs close to zero.
Seamless interconnection: Natively connected to over 100 IBC chains, Ethereum, Solana, allowing free migration of assets.
Ecosystem explosion: More than 40 leading DeFi protocols are already queuing to settle on the testnet, covering all tracks including perpetuals, options, and lending.
INJ is no longer a choice; it is becoming a must-have for all developers.
2. Institutional 'bloodline' certification: Wall Street votes with real money.
The technology is impressive, but what really silences the traditional world is the action of institutions.
First nuclear bomb news: New York Stock Exchange listed company Pineapple Financial has completed $100 million in fundraising and announced a 100% allocation of $INJ as its digital asset treasury.
This is the first time in history that a listed company has used a single public chain token as a core reserve asset. This is not only trust but also the ultimate endorsement of INJ's status as 'institutional-grade financial infrastructure.'
Second nuclear bomb news: The $INJ spot ETF has passed all U.S. regulatory reviews and will soon be listed on mainstream exchanges.
INJ will become the third Layer-1 token in the world to have a spot ETF after Bitcoin and Ethereum. This means that any ordinary investor can buy shares of INJ's ETF with a single click through a stock account. The massive capital channels of the traditional world are now open.
3. Asset tokenization 'highway': The final battle for RWA.
If the first two are 'connecting the water pipes,' then INJ's progress on RWA (Real World Assets) is like 'building a reservoir.'
It has already achieved:
U.S. stock tokenization: Stocks of giants like Nvidia and Apple can be traded on-chain like cryptocurrencies 24/7.
Corporate treasury on-chain: Launching the world's first 'digital asset treasury token' allows listed companies to hold crypto assets in a compliant on-chain form and participate in DeFi to earn returns.
And this is just the beginning. Gold, government bonds, foreign exchange, commodities... all trillion-dollar traditional assets are lining up to enter the crypto world via INJ, the most compliant and efficient 'highway.'
Whoever controls the entry point for asset tokenization controls the lifeblood of future finance. INJ has already secured the most critical position.
Ultimate vision: A new operating system for global finance.
When the four forces of technology, institutional funds, compliance channels, and massive assets converge on INJ, it has long surpassed the category of 'a public chain.'
It is evolving into a global financial new operating system capable of replacing some functions of NASDAQ and the London Stock Exchange—a financial network that is faster, more open, fairer, and always online.
By 2025, INJ has completed an astonishing transformation from 0 to 1. The position it has set for itself in 2026 is obviously not on the ordinary 'public chain rankings,' but on the list of 'global core financial infrastructure.'
The time left for bystanders is running out.
