What will 2026 look like? According to industry observers, that year could mark a true turning point for Web3.

Why? The regulatory framework suddenly becomes clearer. Represented by the US CLARITY Act, the world is establishing a relatively unified policy language—from MiCA to other regional benchmarks. This is not about tightening regulations, but about setting rules for the market. Once the rules are clear, companies dare to act. A large-scale tokenization wave will follow.

But here’s an interesting paradox: Bitcoin has already fulfilled its historical mission, and its role as "digital gold" is essentially set. The real growth story isn’t here, but elsewhere—efficiency optimization in DeFi, practical assets in gaming, real use cases for NFTs. Tokens in these areas have actual functions, not just speculative tools.

Institutional investors are starting to catch up. The adoption rate of RWA (Real-World Asset on-chain) and stablecoins is accelerating. What does this indicate? It shows that on-chain finance is no longer a niche.

For enterprises, the choice is simple: either accelerate asset tokenization or be eliminated by the market. As more people focus solely on what tokens can do rather than how the technology is implemented, the word "blockchain" may gradually disappear from everyday conversations. The real upgrade is financial literacy—in an economy with increasing tokenization, this has become a standard skill.
