By 2026, the DeFi landscape of the crypto ecosystem will undergo profound changes. Evolving from a passive contract model to proactive intelligent services, this shift will reshape the entire ecosystem's operational logic.

On one hand, the rise of AI trading entities will change the way funds are allocated. Intelligent agents will take over market opportunity capturing, automatically scanning and executing optimal profit strategies, gradually phasing out the era of traditional passive LPs.

On the other hand, privacy mechanisms are transforming from a synonym for compliance risk to an entry barrier for institutional funds. When mainstream capital requires on-chain asset privacy, privacy protocols will become an indispensable infrastructure.

Deeper changes are happening behind the scenes. Blockchain is gradually penetrating core segments of traditional finance, especially clearing and collateral layers. The 7×24 continuous on-chain settlement capability will make blockchain the clearing backbone of a new financial system, which is not only a technological upgrade but also a fundamental shift in financial architecture.

AI taking over LP? Then what are we retail investors even playing for? Only if privacy is well managed will institutions dare to come? That makes some sense. When it comes to liquidation frameworks, traditional finance really needs to do its homework. Wait, we still have to wait two more years until 2026. How's the market doing now? Sounds nice, but the key question is whether this bull market can last until then.

The matter of AI taking over LP is already laid out in the charts, and the chips have long been in the hands of the main players. It's truly a bit late to realize this now. Regarding the blockchain clearing layer, there is technical support, but when will it truly be implemented? Don't just talk about visions. Privacy protocols entering the scene? The form is indeed real, but the risk release still depends on market sentiment indicators. Don't be fooled by the concepts.

AI takeover, are LPs going to lose their jobs? Or is this really a turning point... Privacy is quite interesting. It was previously said to be a money laundering tool, now institutions are also using it. What does that imply? I hadn't considered the perspective of the clearing layer. It feels like a place that no one has truly paid attention to. With AI, privacy, and clearing all involved, wow, 2026 will be a whole new era. It sounds good, but the real situation depends on which track can lead the way first. Wait, passive LPs are fading out, so how are we retail investors supposed to play? If this comes true, all previous DeFi strategies will have to be overhauled. The entry of institutional capital into privacy—does that mean policies are loosening? This article seems a bit overly optimistic. What about the actual implementation difficulties? It sounds like the technological content has increased, but will user experience improve?

Honestly, I'm a bit worried about the AI trading主体 takeover... It feels like handing money over to a robot for gambling, the risk is a bit outrageous. I'm optimistic about the privacy agreement; if institutions are to come in, they definitely need to pave the way. The core still lies in the clearing layer. If it can truly improve the settlement efficiency of traditional finance, that would be revolutionary. Now it's just a matter of who can run this logic first. Can we get on board in this cycle? I feel like we should wait until mainstream capital really starts to get involved before taking action. Another YY conference this year? When will it actually be implemented?

That AI system can really bankrupt people; anyway, I don't dare compete with robots for orders. Wait, can privacy really be a barrier? Feels like they're just making up stories again. Are passive LPs really going extinct, or is this just another round of chopping the leeks? The liquidation layer is indeed interesting, but who truly believes that blockchain will replace traditional finance? When intelligent agents take off, I’ll run first—these trends always favor early movers, while latecomers end up with the dirt.

AI taking over LP? First, it needs to pass the audit; otherwise, it could become the next hotbed for reentrancy vulnerabilities.
