We still judge new technology by how it looks. Markets judge it by how it survives stress.

This isn’t “crypto being banned.” It’s crypto being integrated into the global financial system. Regulation is no longer a question of if. Only how well the industry adapts.

48 countries have officially rolled out CARF. From Jan 1, 2026, crypto transaction reporting is live. Data collection starts now. Cross-border tax data exchange begins in 2027. CEXs, parts of DeFi, crypto ATMs, brokers — all in scope.

AI search started taking traffic directly. Media and monetization are already changing. AI is now a baseline tool - but few companies truly redesigned how they work. Bottom line: AI is maturing. Less hype, higher demands. 2026 will separate experiments from real systems.

2025 was the shift from AGI hype to real use. Winners weren’t the smartest models, but those embedding AI into real workflows. Infrastructure became the bottleneck - compute, energy, data centers. AI agents stayed mostly in testing. Big ideas, no mass scale yet.

My biggest takeaway from 2025: the next cycle belongs to systems, not narratives. Infrastructure that works under pressure, AI-driven execution, regulatory clarity, and real users at scale. This is the foundation we’re building toward.

Stablecoins became global financial rails in 2025. $300B+ supply, ~$9T in adjusted organic volume, settlement in seconds worldwide. Payments, liquidity, and dollar distribution moved onchain at a pace few expected.

2025 was the year #crypto crossed into its infrastructure phase. $175B+ in BTC & ETH ETPs, BlackRock and Fidelity in the market, stablecoins processing ~$46T annually. This is what maturation looks like: scale, capital, and real usage aligning.

2025 was a turning point for crypto derivatives (per @coinglass_com ). The shift to institutional rails is clear - ETFs, regulated infrastructure, $85T+ in volume. Leverage concentration remains the key risk heading into 2026.

Fundstrat Global Advisors warns: a major crypto correction is possible in early 2026. Targets they’re watching: BTC $60–65K ETH $1.8–2K SOL $50–75 What do you think - realistic scenario or too conservative?

A new interview with @FXFinanceFeeds is out. We talked about why retail traders compete with algorithms and why AI infrastructure must be built into the core - not added as a feature.

Retail trading platforms were built to connect users to markets. For a long time, that was enough. But things have changed. Algorithmic systems now handle

This next cycle isn’t about “privacy coins.” It’s about private, compliant systems by default. Privacy isn’t hiding. It’s what enables real adoption.

Crypto spent years selling transparency as a feature. Now it’s becoming a limitation. As more activity moves on-chain, privacy isn’t optional - it’s infrastructure.

Saw a take from a Bloomberg strategist saying #BTC could go back to the $10k area, now that ETFs and institutional adoption are already priced in. Not saying it will or won’t happen. Just curious - how are you seeing this play out? What do you think?
