Can 2026 become the inaugural year of asset tokenization? Traditional financial giants may fully enter the blockchain space.

[Crypto World] An interesting question is being discussed in the community—what will 2026 look like? Bankless founder David Hoffman recently shared his views, and many of his insights are indeed thought-provoking.

He believes that asset tokenization will become the main theme of that year. Traditional financial giants like Blackstone may no longer just observe but will truly embrace blockchain technology. At the same time, as regulatory frameworks gradually become clearer, ICOs might return in a new form—more mature and more regulated.

The DeFi ecosystem is also making significant moves, with expansion accelerating—especially in the stablecoin sector—potentially evolving into a financial super app, which could change the game. Additionally, don’t underestimate the concept of robots; it might attract a wave of speculative enthusiasm, leading to significant price fluctuations.

Of course, the industry must also start to face a hidden concern: the threat of quantum computing to cryptocurrency security is gradually emerging, representing a long-term technical challenge worth paying attention to.

Will Blackstone really enter the market? I think it's more likely just talk on paper; capital is always exploratory. Wait, stablecoin financial super app? Isn't that just another way of saying CBDC? In the end, it will still be heavily regulated. Quantum computing threats definitely deserve attention, but I feel we should wait another five years. The robot concept is back to cut leeks again; this wave in the secondary market is probably about to take off. Talking about 2026 with grandiose claims, but as I always say—hold onto Bitcoin, everything else is just a gamble.

Is Blackstone really going to enter the market? I doubt it. Maybe I should just sell my own ETF first, haha. --- I believe in stablecoin super apps, but ICOs returning... Wake up, everyone, history always repeats itself. --- Quantum computing threats? Let's not get ahead of ourselves. We can't even ensure basic security right now. --- 2026 is being hyped up quite a bit. I'm just waiting to be proven wrong. --- I would laugh if the concept of robots could really be pumped up. It's just old wine in new bottles. --- Tokenization of the year one? Wake up, everyone. We've been hearing this phrase for three or four years. --- If DeFi could truly surpass applications, why is it still in this state this year? --- Blackstone entering the market = retail investors get the harvest package. Anyone who believes that is foolish.

If Blackstone really fully enters the market, traditional finance will truly admit defeat... But speaking of which, I'm a bit skeptical about this ICO comeback; it feels like another wave of retail investors being exploited. Quantum computing is the real danger; how many more years can our current encryption hold up? It's strange that no one is discussing this issue.
