The crypto market in 2026 has an interesting phenomenon worth noting — the Chinese community is quietly becoming a driving force behind on-chain innovation.
Speaking of which, the foundation of this trend is actually quite solid. Data from a leading exchange in Q3 2025 shows that: the global market share exceeds one-third, and both spot and derivatives trading volumes are on the rise. What does this mean? It indicates that there is a sufficient user base on the platform, as well as enough traffic to support new innovative projects.
But the real highlight is on the chain. BNB Chain, this public chain, performed quite impressively in Q3 2025 — active addresses increased by 57% quarter-over-quarter, total locked assets are among the fastest-growing, and DEX trading volume even broke records in recent years. In other words, the on-chain ecosystem is no longer just on paper; people are actually using, trading, and building.
The most interesting case is PePeOnTron. This project started from zero, entirely driven by the Chinese community, and eventually successfully launched a curated spot product on a certain platform. It may seem like just a Meme project launch, but the signals behind it are worth pondering — this is the first Chinese community Meme project to go live in a fully autonomous form, with zero pre-mining and complete transparency in operation. What does this indicate? It shows that the Chinese community is not only full of creativity but also capable of building transparency and trust solidly.
Looking ahead, the opportunities in 2026 are clearly visible. If platforms can combine global resource advantages with the creativity of the Chinese community, and continue to explore and cultivate similar local projects within a compliant framework, the Chinese community can fully upgrade from a high-traffic area to a hub of innovation. From passively receiving global projects to actively exporting local innovations.
Of course, the prerequisites must be in place. This requires continuous strategic support from platforms, high-quality project output from the community, and a stable global regulatory environment. But based on current signs, these three conditions are gradually coming together.
