My outlook for cryptocurrency development in 2026: - New Banks - Stablecoins (transactional finance implementation and related infrastructure) - Low-collateral lending (hopefully) - Privacy protection - Prediction markets - Permanent decentralized exchanges (DEXs) - Decentralized Finance (DeFi) (low risk, high return) - Sports betting - Real-time weighted assets (RWA) - Tokenization of over-the-counter trading platforms - Chain abstraction (it shouldn't matter which chain you're on) - Artificial intelligence (AI)
