Looking forward to several directions in the crypto market by 2026:

First, the prediction that the market will experience a bigger explosion. These types of projects have been gaining some traction for a while, but the true growth potential is just beginning to be unlocked. Many on-chain users and traders have already realized their value, and now it's about how the ecosystem can break through barriers.

Second, crypto projects with real practical applications will become increasingly popular. Projects that rely solely on stories and community hype tend to falter once the hype subsides. In contrast, crypto projects that address genuine needs and connect with the real economy will gradually attract more attention and capital inflow.

Another point is the evolution of community culture. The early Web3 marketing tactics and the aesthetic fatigue from public development will gradually fade, replaced by more pragmatic and execution-oriented project performance. Quality and tangible output will increasingly become the core standards for market evaluation.
