2026 begins with Bitcoin stabilizing and rebounding, and the market landscape is quietly shifting. In last night's market, those who had提前布局 (early deployment) have already completed their year-start position building, while most people are still riding the holiday afterglow. Missing the opportunity in 2025 is not a cause for regret; the key is to grasp the core signals of this wave.
Don't be fooled by short-term price fluctuations. The real opportunity in 2026 lies in the全面爆发 (comprehensive explosion) of the "application layer." Market logic has completely changed— the pure MEME concept hype is fading, and large-scale capital flows are now pointing toward two new directions: AI intelligent agent payment systems and RWA 2.0 ecosystems. Now is not the time to panic sell; instead, it is the golden window to readjust positions and reallocate stocks.
**ETF capital rebalancing for the new year** is the first key point to observe. Every year, institutional funds adjust their positions based on new strategies, and this movement often determines the rhythm of the first quarter. Secondly, **technological iteration in the AI track** continues to accelerate. From simple concept hype to practical application of AI agents, the track is experiencing a qualitative leap. Lastly, do not overlook the **long tail effect after Bitcoin halving**—historical cycles show that 12-18 months after halving often generate a new wave of growth.
**Practical trading advice is straightforward**: maintain 60-70% of your positions, and use the remaining USDT to respond to potential pullbacks. Focus on leading projects in the AI and DePin crossover track, as well as infrastructure in the Solana ecosystem that has not yet issued tokens. For MEME coins that doubled during the holiday, it is advisable to take profits in stages and avoid greed.
The dividends of 2026 ultimately belong to those who are prepared.

Hmm, another theory about "prepared people"... Why am I not as prepared?
To be honest, AI agents and RWA are getting on my nerves, the real money still depends on who can run out first.
I've already invested everything in those MEME coins that doubled during the holiday... Is it useful to regret now?
ETF rebalancing? Institutional big players have long been full, and we're still just sipping soup.
Wait, does Solana still have undistributed infrastructure? Who would believe that, they're just making things up.

It's true, but I feel like it's always the same story—being cut off in the end. Can RWA really take off? Or is it just another wave of hype?

Talking about AI agents and RWA 2.0 again, will it really be implemented this time, or is it just more conceptual hype?
---
Didn't check the market this morning and was caught off guard by a friend's screenshot, missed it again?
---
The infrastructure projects on Solana that haven't issued tokens are indeed interesting, but are you really willing to hold a heavy position?
---
When meme coins double, you have to sell. I believe in this logic. Last time, greed made me lose everything.
---
The ETF rebalancing strategy is said to be done every year, so why is this year different?
---
Holding 60 to 70% of your position sounds easy, but everyone's psychological tolerance is different.
---
After Bitcoin halving, the 12-18 month wave, it seems every cycle someone says the same thing.
---
The acceleration of AI track iterations is real, but is it too late to get into leading projects now?
---
The holiday isn't over yet, and some have already doubled their investments. The competition is fierce.
---
From meme to practical application, it sounds great, but will the funds really cooperate this much?

nah the "long-tail effects" thesis is just cope for bag holders tbh. what inefficiency vectors are u actually seeing in ai agent settlement layers rn? solana infra plays sound decent but the mev extraction dynamics there are already pricing in most alpha imo...
