Gate Ventures Releases 2026 Outlook Report: Accelerated AI × Web3 Integration, Five Key Forces Reshaping the Global Value Network

According to an official announcement from Odaily Planet Daily, Gate Ventures has officially released its 2026 Outlook Report, outlining five key trends that will reshape global value transfer, computing, and intelligence systems. These include: real-time information aggregation layers for on-chain markets, global borderless payment and FX networks, machine-native financial systems for autonomous robots, institution-grade unified yield engines, and the transformation of crypto mining into distributed AI computing power and energy supply.

The report points out that these forces are driving Web3 to become a crucial collaborative infrastructure in the AI-driven economy era. The report states that the industry is now entering a decisive turning point toward 2026: real-time on-chain intelligence layers are rapidly emerging in prediction and trading markets; decentralized payment and FX networks are breaking through traditional payment systems, enabling instant settlement on a global scale; autonomous robots are beginning to interact and transact on-chain using machine identities; institution-grade DeFi is integrating fragmented yield sources into unified risk frameworks; meanwhile, large mining companies are transitioning to high-performance computing and AI power to meet the rapidly increasing demand for computing and energy.

Gate Ventures believes that the convergence of these five forces will drive more Web3 and crypto technology companies into IPO, De-SPAC, and M&A cycles. As AI and Web3 become deeply integrated, 2026 is expected to become the industry’s most transformative year, bringing a new round of asymmetric growth opportunities for builders, institutions, and global users.
