2026 has officially begun.
So has my hunt for new opportunities, and a ruthless re-evaluation of every bag I hold.
After a draining 2025, I genuinely believe Q1 2026 is where markets start to move again.
Those who stayed through the chop?
We’ve earned whatever comes next.
These are the projects that made it into my 2026 conviction list:
⚡ L1 / L2: $SOL $ETH $XRP $LINK $KAS
🤖 AI: $ASTRA
🏗️ RWA: $DEXTF $RIO
🎮 GameFi: $NAKA $LAND $GFAL
I’m not spread thin - I’m selective.
Every name here showed strength, consistency, and builders who never stopped during tough markets.
That’s the real alpha.
Winners keep building when nobody’s watching.
Now I’m curious:
Which altcoins are you carrying from 2025 into 2026?
