Nowadays, things have changed compared to how they were before. The crypto sector has experienced significant changes during the last few years.

This year, in 2026, we can observe that institutional players have started to recognize crypto. Moreover, governments have issued some legislation. It is a good sign for everyone.

Here, I would like to highlight two main trends that occur nowadays. The first one is that real-world assets, such as gold and real estate, start getting onto the blockchain. The second trend that should be mentioned is that ETFs for Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin have appeared. Therefore, more capital from investors will go into crypto.

Moreover, artificial intelligence starts mixing with crypto. In other words, AI agents start making payments in crypto.

What seems to be the most impressive thing this year is that Pakistan and similar countries start integrating crypto and their local banks. For me, this fact is crucial.

This year feels like crypto has matured. I am only holding and watching.
