$ETH because #defi is going to run on #Ethereum and literally everyone in finance wants a piece of #DefiInnovation
$SOL because native #web3 apps need somewhere easy and fast and cheap to live, and #Solana has the chops
$CC because the whole traditional finance sector is catching up, they're already using it, and they all seem to love Canton's programmable privacy
$LINK because the confluence of tradfi and #crypto can't happen without #Chainlink
$ZEC because Zcash's privacy is non-negotiable, and nor is yours
$HYPE because you can believe the #hype for once, and #Hyperliquid is #hype + genuine #use
$KALSHI or $POLYMARKET because would you bet against them launching a token this year? $PENGU because #crypto is supposed to be fun, and penguins, pudgy or otherwise, are just cool
$FLUID because nobody in #defi ships more, faster, and with more creative #insights than the Fluid team
A couple are obvious, a couple from left field - what are your picks for '26?
