The adoption of cryptocurrencies driven by stablecoins and the integration of artificial intelligence with blockchain by 2026

According to ChainCatcher, Edul Patel, the CEO of the Indian trading and investment platform for cryptocurrencies Mudrex, identified stablecoins, tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), and the integration of artificial intelligence with blockchain as key factors for the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies by 2026.

Patel emphasized the changing regulatory landscape and investor behavior, noting that while India has developed mature exchanges and growing investor awareness, there remains a lack of regulatory clarity. He expects a shift in investor focus from speculation to fundamental analysis, with a preference for projects that have clear real-world applications, strong fundamentals, and transparency in areas such as tokenomics. This trend is already noticeable in sectors such as decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, Web3, and the new integration of artificial intelligence with blockchain.
