Gate Research Institute: By 2025–2026, PayFi is evolving from a crypto payment tool into a new generation of payment financial engine. Stablecoins are achieving large-scale application in high-frequency and cross-border payments, with settlement efficiency and cost structures significantly better than traditional systems. Web2 and Web3 continue to merge, with Visa, PayPal, and Neobanks becoming key connection nodes; at the same time, stablecoins, RWA, and AI are jointly shaping the fundamental form of PayFi, driving automation and 24/7 operation in settlement, asset flow, and risk management. Looking ahead to 2026, regulatory clarity, on-chain capabilities of real assets, and maturity of AI applications will determine the competitive landscape and long-term barriers for PayFi.

Author: Citrini Research Translation: Felix, PANews The chances for retail investors to achieve high returns in the stock market are becoming increasingly slim. The underlying reason may be related to companies delaying their IPOs. Research firm Citrini has published an article exploring the issue of modern capital markets where companies tend to remain private for extended periods, leading to growth value being primarily captured by VC institutions, and public markets have largely become liquidity exit tools. Below are the details. It is simply nonsense for companies to remain private for the long term. While I personally understand the motivations behind this and do not blame founders for doing so, such actions undermine the system that originally created these companies. Fundamentally, it is a breach of the promise that allows capitalism to operate. The social contract in the United States has always worked quite well for capital markets. That's right, you might be working at a dull small business, or have a job that is not...

This report is authored by Tiger Research. What if bridging assets could be utilized? We conducted an in-depth analysis of Katana, a never-sleeping blockchain. It reinvests 100% of on-chain and off-chain yields and transaction fees into DeFi. Key Highlights Most Layer 2 solutions lock bridging assets without utilizing them. Katana deploys these assets into Ethereum lending protocols to generate yields, then redistributes the yields as incentives for DeFi protocols. Storing assets in a vault does not generate any returns. Users must deploy capital into Katana's DeFi protocols to earn additional rewards. As of Q3 2025, over 95% of Katana's TVL is actively deployed in DeFi protocols. This contrasts with most chains, where utilization rates range from 50% to 70%.
