As 2025 draws to a close, it's time to look towards 2026. Which tracks in the cryptocurrency market are most likely to explode?

The story of stablecoins shouldn't stay just at the issuance stage. The real opportunity lies in the implementation of payment applications — from on-chain to off-chain, from niche to mainstream, the infrastructure for stablecoin payments is gradually improving.

Next is AiFi. The combination of artificial intelligence and finance has been discussed for a while, but 2026 may be the true turning point. The formation of the AiFi economy requires deep integration with the real economy, which determines how far it can go.

The expansion of RWA (Real-World Asset Tokenization) will not stop. Tokenization of US stocks has become a certainty, followed by tokenization of precious metals like gold and silver. The door to on-chain assets has just opened.

Don't forget the privacy coin track. Amid the tug-of-war between regulation and privacy protection, the strong demand for this track always exists, and technological breakthroughs and application expansion still have room for imagination.

Stablecoin payments landing? Alright, let's see if anyone actually uses it first. AiFi sounds good, but I'm worried it might just become a new term for cutting leeks again. RWA definitely has potential, but can it pass regulatory scrutiny smoothly... I believe in privacy coins, but we need to keep a close eye on policy trends.

Stablecoin payments should have been implemented long ago; just issuing tokens isn't enough. AiFi sounds good, but it still feels too abstract; RWA is the real deal.

Stablecoin payments landing? Easier said than done, true widespread adoption might still be a long way off. AiFi is somewhat interesting, but I'm worried it might just be another new concept to trap retail investors. I’m optimistic about RWA; tokenizing US stocks is definitely a done deal. As for privacy coins... regulators are watching closely, no matter how advanced the technology is, it’s all in vain.

Stablecoin payments really need to be implemented in practice to be meaningful. Right now, it's still just on paper. I'm a bit tired of AiFi... Can it truly change the financial landscape? I'm skeptical. RWA (Real-World Assets) are reliable. Tokenization of U.S. stocks is indeed a big open door. Privacy coins? Regulations are looming overhead. Is there any room for imagination... Let's see in 2026. Anyway, I hear these claims every day.

Stablecoin payments are indeed reliable, but when it comes to RWA... Can tokenization of US stocks really go as smoothly as claimed? I think the regulatory hurdle is still far away.

Stablecoin payments are indeed the next big trend; everyone is laying the groundwork now. AiFi has been hyped for so long; 2026 should see it come to fruition, right? Otherwise, it's just a gimmick. I believe in RWA; truly bringing assets on-chain is the real way forward. Privacy coins should be avoided; regulatory scrutiny is hanging over them. The focus should be on the implementation of stablecoins; issuing alone isn't enough. In 2026, I am most optimistic about the combination of RWA and AiFi; everything else is just supporting acts. Once the payment infrastructure is improved, stablecoins can truly take off. Privacy coins are a bit uncertain, but there is a real demand for them. If AiFi can truly be linked to the real economy, it would be a game-changer. Tokenization of the US stock market feels the most reliable.
