#我的2026第一帖,记录对
As we enter 2026, looking back at the volatility of 2025 and the coming year for cryptocurrencies, I'm providing an overview of the market landscape, my strategic goals, and the next big move in Web3.
2025 Year-End Cryptocurrency Review 2025 was a year of "reality checks" for leveraged investors following extremely high levels.
Price Fluctuations: Bitcoin reached a spectacular all-time high of $126,000 in October 2025 thanks to ETF enthusiasm and a pro-crypto US administration. However, a massive $19 billion leverage loss and trading tariff tensions ensured it stabilized around $90,000-$93,000 by the end of the year.
The Rise of RWAs and Stablecoins: 2025 was the year "Real World Assets" (RWAs) became mainstream. The GENIUS Act in the US provided a robust regulatory framework for stablecoins, leading to a record market capitalization of over $290 billion.
The Institutional "Golden Age": For the first time, Bitcoin and Ethereum became standard institutional treasury assets. Over 170 publicly traded companies now hold BTC as "deposit tokens," proving that banks are no longer just watching, but building them.
2026 New Year Crypto Goals
For 2026, the focus shifts from chasing "memecoin pumps" to building on-chain equity and yield-bearing portfolios.
Institutional-Grade YieldPivot toward Liquid Restaking (e.g., EigenLayer) and Tokenized Treasuries that offer 4–5% risk-adjusted returns on-chain.
Portfolio De-riskingReduce exposure to "speculative L1s" and consolidate into Ethereum L2s and the Solana ecosystem.
Identity & ReputationFocus on DID (Decentralized Identity). In a world of AI deepfakes, owning a verified on-chain identity is becoming a high-value asset.
AI IntegrationExperiment with AI Agents that can manage on-chain positions, claim airdrops, and execute trades autonomously using Account Abstraction .
The Next Web3 Move: "Agent-Centric Finance" The next big move isn't just a new coin; it’s a shift in how we interact with the chain.
In 2026, the move is toward Chain Abstraction and Autonomous Agents. We are moving away from manual "wallet-clicking" and toward an "autopilot" era.
The Play: Integrating AI agents with DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure) and BitcoinFi. As Bitcoin L2s mature, using BTC as collateral for autonomous, AI-driven yield strategies will be the most sophisticated move of the year.
