The transformations and challenges of 2026 are approaching: How will $1 energy dominate this year

The new year always brings new variables. As we look ahead to 2026, the market landscape is quietly changing. From macroeconomic fluctuations to on-chain capital flows, from policy expectations to technological iterations, every variable is reshaping the outline of the crypto ecosystem.

At this point in time, there is a question worth deep reflection: How will stable assets and value carriers like $1 carry forward with their momentum throughout 2026?

In the past year, we have seen market participants' attitudes towards stablecoins shift. Whether institutions or retail investors, they are beginning to reassess the role of these assets in their portfolios. They are not only a medium of exchange but also tools for hedging risks and anchoring value.

The market in 2026 will be more complex and diverse. But the stability and certainty represented by $1 may instead serve as an anchor for investors amid uncertainty. Regardless of market fluctuations, the continuous release of this energy will profoundly influence capital flows and ecosystem development this year.

This wave of stablecoins is really about to rise, and it feels like 2026 will be their main stage.

Stablecoins are coming back as the savior, alright, let's wait and see how 2026 reverses the trend.

Stablecoins have really become a safe haven. Honestly, they are much more reliable than those hundredfold coins. --- Another year, another argument that "stability is the most important." I don't believe you. --- To put it nicely, $1 is just a withdrawal channel for big players. Don't overthink it. --- On-chain data shows the flow of USDC and USDT, indicating that institutions are truly stockpiling. This wave of stablecoin demand is a necessity. --- Every year, people say stablecoins will dominate the market. Why are the same group still spinning in the whirlpool of yields? [Dog Head] --- Honestly, who dares to predict 2026? Maybe another black swan will appear, and then stablecoins won't be stable anymore. --- No matter how high the APY is, I need to survive first. I truly understand why everyone is shifting their positions into stablecoins. --- I've heard this argument for five years, but I haven't seen stablecoins truly "dominate" anything. --- Impermanent loss, arbitrage opportunities, liquidity exhaustion—under these pressures, stablecoins' pegs are indeed more risk-resistant. We have to admit that.

Stablecoins are indeed the key this year, but don't be too superstitious about the magic of $1; risks still exist.
