Crossing the final moments of 2025, we welcome the brand new 2026. Standing at the beginning of the year, I want to share three sincere expectations for this market.

First, I look forward to some small-cap coins with high community popularity to achieve breakthroughs. This is not just about price fluctuations, but also about whether community consensus can be consolidated into tangible driving force. The most interesting stories in the market often come from projects that are optimistic but need time to prove themselves.

Second, I hope the entire crypto ecosystem can continue to evolve. Truly innovative projects should be like a sieve of time, enduring cyclical tests. Whether the various applications and protocols that emerged last year can withstand the market test this year is the standard for whether the industry is developing in a healthy manner.

Third, the stability of exchanges as infrastructure is crucial. A safe and reliable trading platform is like a stabilizing anchor for retail investors. The industry needs more platforms that truly prioritize users to support the development of the entire ecosystem.

To all investors who are still persevering, there are no shortcuts to any worthwhile goal. Real returns can only be proven through a complete cycle. Let’s continue to support each other in this market, navigating the alternation of bull and bear markets, and moving towards the goal of 2026.

Happy New Year, stay true to your original intention. We will eventually arrive. $ASTER
