Soon 2025 will come to an end, and people have already started pondering where the wind of 2026 will blow. Based on overall market trends, several tracks are indeed worth paying attention to:

Stablecoins are no longer new, but the real opportunity lies in the payments sector. Don't just stay at issuing and liquidity mining; practical applications are where the victory is decided. For stablecoins to truly become payment tools, that is the next focus.

The formation of the AiFi economy is also accelerating. Having only the AI concept is not enough; the key is how to integrate it with the real economy and achieve real-world applications. This is not just simple conceptual hype but involves the improvement of infrastructure.

The expansion of RWA (Real-World Asset Tokenization) continues to be highly probable. Tokenization of the US stock market has already laid a foundation, but it's far from just that. The tokenization of traditional precious metals like gold and silver is also brewing, which will open a new channel for traditional capital to enter Web3.

Although the privacy coin track remains relatively calm, the technical demands always exist. As regulatory frameworks become clearer, the demand for compliant privacy solutions will only grow.

Stablecoin payments have long been a serious area to focus on; the issuance aspect is not really valuable. I am optimistic about the RWA (Real-World Assets) direction. Traditional capital entering the space is only a matter of time. Tokenizing gold can lead to significant gains. Privacy coins? Regulatory threats loom overhead, so it's better to be cautious. The real benchmark is the implementation of AiFi. Don't just hype the concept; produce some real results. In 2026, among these sectors, stablecoin payments have the most potential; others depend on the situation. RWA is a genuine opportunity involving real money; traditional finance folks will inevitably get involved. What’s there to fear about privacy coins? The demand is always there. Combining AiFi with the real economy—that’s true skill. Stablecoins should have shifted from issuance to application long ago; many projects got it wrong. Tokenization of US stocks is just the appetizer; gold and silver are the main course.

Stablecoin payments, I think we need to wait a bit longer. --- The real test for AiFi is its implementation; the hype over the concept is over. --- For RWA, traditional capital needs to really come in to be considered a win. --- Privacy coins, once they become compliant, might actually see less usage. --- The 2026 prediction might be a bit early; let's see how things go with eating noodles in 2025. --- Tokenization of the US stock market—whether it's real or not still needs verification. --- Payment tools? Stablecoins haven't even stabilized their basic foundation yet. --- AiFi infrastructure is still far from ready; don't hype it up so early. --- Tokenizing gold sounds great, but can it actually work in practice? --- The demand for privacy coins exists, but can they pass regulatory hurdles?

Stablecoin payments should have been active long ago; otherwise, how can they compete with traditional finance? RWA is indeed interesting. Whether gold tokenization can truly attract old money depends on 2026. The real test for AiFi is its implementation; there are too many projects that are just hype and concepts. Privacy coins have to wait for regulatory clarity; when that happens, it could actually be an opportunity. Stablecoin + payments really depend on who can capture application scenarios. There is no absolute winner yet.
