The 2026 annual meeting will be a super cycle for NFTs, digital collectibles, and IP operations. This judgment has been confirmed. As market infrastructure improves and user awareness increases, the value discovery of digital assets is entering a new stage. NFTs are no longer just a concept of collectibles but an important carrier for IP ecosystems, brand interactions, and even financial instruments. From digital art to virtual identities, from gaming assets to brand rights, this cycle will cover a broader range of application scenarios. The crypto circle and Web3 communities have long been betting on this direction.

I'll say it directly, I've heard this argument too many times, every year someone shouts "Next year is the super cycle." But on the other hand, the infrastructure part is indeed being followed up on, and I am optimistic about the IP operation line. The real question is, can those trend-following projects survive until 2026? It's not too late to boast once the infrastructure is truly improved. Right now, there are still too many vapor projects muddying the waters. There is definitely an opportunity here, but you need to choose the right direction. Don't just follow the hype and speculation. It's a familiar topic; the NFT story has been told a thousand times. The key is who can actually deliver. I agree with the brand interaction part, but are game assets really that optimistic? Here we go again, the old routine of prophets. But the IP line is indeed worth paying attention to, just not necessarily waiting until 2026.

I've been optimistic about this for a long time, but the key is whether the infrastructure can keep up. 2026? I think it needs to be sooner. We're already starting to redefine the value of NFTs. Wow, someone finally explained it clearly—it's not just about JPGs. IP management is definitely worth paying attention to; it's much better than just collecting. Betting on it doesn't help much; it still depends on whether the team can actually deliver the product.

Wait, "the judgment has been confirmed"? That sounds so much like a déjà vu from 2021... --- 2026 super cycle? I feel like it's just another round of "infrastructure improvement" story, I've heard this phrase so many times --- IP ecosystem, financial tools... honestly, it's still about trying to make NFTs more compliant, but what about real trading scenarios? --- People who have already bet on the direction, do they still hold these assets? Uh... let's not awkwardly chat anymore --- Not to mention anything else, I just want to know why it always has to be 2026 for the super cycle, why not now? --- Virtual identities, gaming assets do have some potential, but the brand rights part still feels like a mirage

2026 still feels far away, let's get through 2025 first haha --- The term super cycle is getting a bit tired, every year someone is shouting about it --- IP operation does have some imagination, but how many can actually be implemented in reality? --- Starting to talk about infrastructure improvement again, when will the big players actually see the benefits? --- I just want to know if this is a real cycle or if we're just cutting new grass again --- Virtual identity × brand rights, it's interesting, but it depends on who can actually make it happen --- Sounds good, but ultimately it still depends on when the coin price will rise --- How are the brothers who already placed bets doing now? I dare not ask --- Can this cycle cover game assets? Will my in-game skins be valuable then? --- Infrastructure improvement? That prerequisite might have to wait until the Year of the Monkey or the Year of the Horse --- What is the Web3 community betting on? Isn't it just betting on the coin price rising

Speaking of the phrase "already confirmed," I have to gently question it. Back in the early days of Cryptopunks, no one could really be certain of anything. It was actually those who were willing to delve into on-chain research that later recognized the true scarcity value. Whether 2026 can become a super cycle depends crucially on whether a genuine creator ecosystem is being established, rather than another round of speculative fluctuations.

2026？Bro, your prediction is too conservative. I feel it will start next year. NFTs should have shed the trash label of collectibles long ago. Now I finally understand that this is the real infrastructure. Wait, are you serious about "already confirmed"? Why am I still waiting for mainstream applications to land? If this wave really takes off, game assets will definitely be the first to break through. Another year, another "super cycle." I'm tired of hearing it hh. To put it nicely, the core issue is liquidity. Without real money transactions backing it up, it's all nonsense. I'm a bit期待 about virtual identities, but the experience is still too fragmented right now. Brand interaction? Hmm, it seems big companies are really serious about doing this this time.

Uh... 2026? So what should we do in these two years? Should we start accumulating now?
