As 2026 approaches, the cryptocurrency world may face several major changes.

First is the golden age of public chain ecosystems. Platform tokens of mainstream public chains like Solana, BSC, and Polygon are expected to usher in a new wave of airdrops, especially with some newly launched ecosystem incentive programs. Those looking to get in early should pay attention to which projects are building communities, as these opportunities often disappear quickly.

Second, don't overlook the rise of Web3 social and live streaming tracks. From an IP operation perspective, those who can establish personal brands during this wave will gain a first-mover advantage. This is not just about issuing tokens but also about the reallocation of ecological value.

Looking at the macro perspective, the Federal Reserve's policy shift is a major variable—whether interest rates can ultimately be lowered to 3% will directly determine the market's bull and bear cycles. If rate cuts do happen, some altcoins with weaker fundamentals might become targets for profit-taking, so choosing the right sectors is crucial.

Don't forget about precious metals. Gold and silver are highly correlated with interest rate cut cycles. Tracking the positions and movements of institutions like BlackRock and Grayscale is worthwhile—they often reflect the true expectations of large capital.
