A top-tier crypto fund just released an industry outlook for 2026, highlighting 17 directions they believe will explode.



This isn’t the typical mystical prediction of "certain coins hitting certain dollar amounts"; they are focusing on signals indicating fundamental shifts.

A few points worth pondering:

AI agents might truly need their own "wallets" — not just a metaphor, but literally capable of managing funds and executing trades independently.

The positioning of stablecoins is being reshaped. Previously, everyone treated them as "on-chain copies of USD," but the gameplay has changed. They are now more like independent debt instruments with completely different attributes.

Privacy technology will become the core competitiveness of next-generation protocols. Those who can find a balance between transparency and privacy will build a real moat.

This round of infrastructure iteration may be more fundamental and quieter than the last, but its impact will be more lasting.

Does the AI agent manage its own money? It feels a bit like cutting-edge technology, but to truly implement it, how many security issues would need to be addressed...

The AI self-wallet thing is really scary, feels like it's getting out of control Stablecoins as debt instruments? That logic is a bit convoluted, need to take a closer look I bet on privacy as a moat; whoever figures it out will win Are these fund reports reliable? Or are they just storytelling again? The underlying changes sound exciting, but execution is full of pitfalls This round of infrastructure iteration is indeed duller than the last; can it really last?

AI managing money by itself? That doesn’t feel right. Who will audit it, and who will take the blame? Are stablecoins really turning into debt instruments? If so, are they still called stablecoins? It seems the tricks are getting deeper. Privacy agreements as a moat sound good in theory, but can they really be balanced? I remain skeptical.

Huh? AI managing money on its own? Looks like some are going to lose their jobs. --- Once the stablecoin gameplay turns, these big funds are ready to cut another wave of leeks. --- Is privacy protocol really the next hot spot or just another story? Let's wait and see. --- Is quiet iteration of the underlying layer good or bad? Anyway, retail investors are always the last to know. --- Regarding the 2026 forecast, I only believe half of it; the other half depends on the coin price. --- The term "moat" has become so tired; in the end, it's all about raising funds and team strength. --- 17 directions, it's already hard to believe more than 3 will survive.

Damn AI wallet, I've already gone all-in on it. Getting my return depends on it. --- Stablecoins reshaping? Here comes another new concept to cut leeks. --- Privacy moat... sounds high-end, but I'll just add to my positions and wait for the wind. --- Is the underlying iteration quiet? The problem is my account is not quiet at all, haha. --- 17 directions? I only need one direction — up, everything else is nonsense. --- I've seen quite a few of these judgment books, and in the end, they all are just self-comforting for those who buy at high levels. --- Anyway, when the bull market comes, we are all right. I know this best. --- The real signal is that those who are not fully invested now are fools. --- I don't understand the set of debt instruments, but my logic is to hold,守住, and wait for突破. --- First, they say they want to iterate; then, they make us wait. These institutions really see retail investors as ATMs. --- This is the last chance. I want to put all my idle money in. --- Looking at these predictions, I think of my blood, sweat, and tears from last year. Fortunately, my faith hasn't changed.
