A leading exchange's three major strategies revealed for 2026: global trading platform, stablecoin payments, and on-chain developer ecosystem

2026-01-01 23:00:11

【Crypto World】A leading exchange recently announced its core strategic direction for 2026, with ambitious goals. In simple terms, there are three main areas:

First is the global expansion of the trading platform — not just cryptocurrencies, but also stocks, prediction markets, and commodity trading, creating a one-stop, comprehensive trading experience. Essentially, it’s about listing all tradable assets on the platform.

Second is the scaling of stablecoins and payment services. This area is becoming increasingly competitive; whoever can improve payment penetration will hold the dominant position.

Third is promoting “on-chain world” through developer platforms and its own public chain — it sounds like a slogan, but the core logic is to attract developers through the ecosystem, enabling more applications to run on the chain.

The investment focus behind this is clear: pouring money into product quality and automation, with a very clear goal — to become the number one financial application globally. This positioning is not just about being the top in the cryptocurrency field, but aiming for the commanding heights of the entire fintech track.

It's somewhat like the revival of financial imperialism... From exchanges to payments and then to public chains, this is building a monopolistic discourse system. To be honest, the most critical part is stablecoin payments; gaining payment rights is equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of finance.

Still hyping up Bitcoin, "World Chain on Chain" just sounds good --- Stablecoin payments are really heating up, let's see who can last until the end --- Stocks and commodities are all coming? Feels like everything wants a piece --- Honestly, it still depends on the developer ecosystem; without one, everything is pointless --- Spending money to develop products, this logic is clear, just see if it can really be implemented --- A comprehensive one-stop trading experience... everyone is saying that now --- Increasing payment penetration is the real skill; anyone can shout slogans --- Benchmarking against global fintech? That’s an ambitious goal, pretty interesting --- Public chains of their own, if they can’t run properly later, they’ll have to burn money

Want to be the boss again? That ambition is indeed not small. However, in the stablecoin payment sector, it seems everyone is competing, and whoever first achieves high penetration wins. --- Stocks, commodities, prediction markets all covered? I'm a bit skeptical about the execution... --- The developer ecosystem sounds good in theory, but what truly attracts quality projects is the ecosystem benefits. No matter how loud the slogans are, they are useless. --- Another "world's first." Focus on improving local business first before boasting. --- Investing in automation is quite wise, but the moat of exchanges is getting shallower and shallower, to be honest.

Once again, it's the same narrative; all talk is just about wanting to take over the entire financial market cake. I truly believe in stablecoin payments—after all, whoever controls payments is the real boss. "Global on-chain" sounds impressive, but in reality, it's just being forced by ecosystem subsidies. The ambition is indeed big, but whether it can be achieved by 2026 is just two words—nonsense. What’s really interesting is whether it will be targeted by regulatory authorities from various countries.

Wow, once again aiming to become the "world's number one financial app." This time, it's really all in. Wait, scaling stablecoin payments? I feel like the word "stable" here is a bit hollow. World chain-on... sounds more like they want to put our wallets on the chain too, directly saving us from transaction fee headaches. Developer ecosystem, proprietary public chain, global expansion—throwing money + automation. This pace seems to be about using scale to crush competitors. In 2026, I'll wait and see if I get cut off this year first, haha. "One-stop trading" sounds good, but I'm afraid one-stop might also mean handing over my assets. From crypto to stocks to commodities, they want everything from me. Okay, bro. The ambition is indeed big, but I don't know who will pay the bill. Anyway, it definitely won't be us retail investors. Another slogan, another money burn. I've seen too many of these pie-in-the-sky tactics. Let me catch my breath first.

Here comes the hype again, this time claiming to be the "world's number one financial application"? Just listen, it's surprising if they can really make it happen. Stablecoin payments do have some potential; whoever secures the payment position first will be the next power holder. No mistake about that. That developer ecosystem... to put it simply, it's all about competing for funds and ecosystem subsidies. It depends on who has more money in their pocket. Full asset trading sounds impressive, but I'm worried it's just another PPT strategy. Actual implementation is the real skill. I want to see how they plan to break through regulatory hurdles—that's the biggest pitfall.

Here comes another story of cutting leeks again, this time aiming to take over the entire financial industry... I am optimistic about stablecoin payments, but integrating stock trading is the real trick—whoever controls the payment gateway calls the shots. "World Chain on the Blockchain," sounds like they are about to spend billions more on storytelling. Whether the developer ecosystem can really take off remains to be seen. The world's number one financial application? I think it's better to improve the existing product experience first before boasting. This plan is too big; do they really have the money, or are they just making empty promises? Let's see by 2026.

Wow, this ambition is really bold—aiming to become the number one in the entire FinTech industry? I'm actually optimistic about stablecoin payments; right now, it's all about who can achieve penetration first. I'm tired of the same old developer ecosystem tricks; the key is whether they can truly attract talent. They want to blow money and expand globally at the same time. Whether they can hold up until 2026 is really uncertain.
