Experts from the fund note that the cryptocurrency ecosystem is gradually transforming from speculative models to a real economic infrastructure. The main drivers of this process will be stablecoins and artificial intelligence.
Stablecoins as a New Financial Instrument
The report emphasizes that stablecoins are becoming a full-fledged element of the digital financial infrastructure. Their total supply has exceeded $300 billion, and daily transactions reach billions of dollars across various sectors—from remittances to corporate payments.
“The industry has moved away from the noise and returned to the fundamentals. The key question remains unchanged: what truly works?”
The Role of Artificial Intelligence
Alongside the development of stablecoins, there is an active integration of artificial intelligence into the crypto economy. While stablecoins provide the financial foundation, AI determines the principles of their use.
Economic activity is gradually shifting from humans to autonomous agents capable of executing transactions and coordinating actions independently.
Regulatory changes in the USA, Korea, the UAE, and other countries are creating a favorable environment for the institutional integration of crypto assets. It is expected that 2026 will be a period when applications, rather than blockchains or tokens, will define the further development of the industry.
