Altcoins: What to Expect in 2026? ๐
4 trends are emerging:
1. DeFi (decentralized finance): Evolution to DeFi 2.0 โ more convenient, more liquid. ๐น
- Perpetual futures on real assets (paintings, wine, oil) โ without storage. ๐จ๐ท
- Specialized exchanges/terminals: Aggregators of predictions (Polymarket + Kalshi in one place). ๐ฎ
- Composite markets: Trading + lending in one (Hyperliquid, Lightter). ๐
- Unsecured loans: Based on on-chain data (TrueFi, Pillar) โ competing with banks. ๐ฆ
- On-chain privacy: Data protection for funds. ๐
2. Trading infrastructure: Stable liquidity pools (Pro MM on Solana) โ fewer squeezes. โ๏ธ
3. RWA (tokenization of real assets): Stocks, bonds on blockchain (Xtocks, Injective). Bridge Web2-Web3. ๐
4. AI for blockchain: ๐ค
- Data collection for robots (DePIN networks). ๐
- Proof of humanity: Retina scan (Worldcoin) against AI fakes. ๐๏ธ
- AI for devs: Faster code (ChainGPT, Ocean Protocol โ tokens CGPT, OCEAN). ๐ป
Conclusion: 2026 โ the year of altseason- most likely, a powerful altseason is expected in the first half โ mid-2026, then peak liquidity and reversal in the second half-end of the year. ๐๐
I also follow new altcoins- for example GILD. ๐
