By 2026, the four major tracks of the cryptocurrency ecosystem are worth paying close attention to. The prediction market sector remains hot, with platforms allowing users to bet on real-world events, becoming a new way to aggregate information and hedge risks. Perpetual DEXs continue to be the main battleground for traders, with advantages such as high leverage and deep liquidity making their ecosystems increasingly complete. The digital banking and payments sector focus on compliance and user experience, lowering the entry barrier for ordinary users by simplifying on-chain operations. AI and robotics are also highly regarded, with autonomous agents and AI-driven trading strategies beginning to integrate into the Web3 ecosystem, becoming the next engine of innovation. These four main themes each serve different market needs and together outline the future landscape of the crypto market.

I'm optimistic about the perpetual DEX sector, but there are too many leveraged players who are easily liquidated... The prediction market is interesting; it can hedge risks but is also easy to manipulate.

Leverage traders in the perpetual DEX space really need to be cautious. Isn't the history of liquidation due to high leverage already enough... I'm optimistic about AI trading, but I'm just worried it might turn into another round of hype and speculation.

I'm optimistic about the prediction market, but the truly profitable ones are still perpetual DEXs, a paradise for leverage traders. We've been talking about digital banking compliance for years, but when will it truly become mainstream? AI trading strategies are hyped up quite a bit, but I remain skeptical...

How crazy has the perpetual DEX scene become? High leverage is really playing with fire. The AI robot side is indeed interesting, but I wonder if it's just another hype. I'm optimistic about the prediction market; the information aggregation logic is solid. Digital banking compliance? Haha, let's wait and see. Can these four lines take off simultaneously? I'm a bit skeptical.

I really believe in the perpetual DEX sector. Leverage is great, but it's easy to get liquidated haha. The AI robot line feels a bit overhyped. Let's wait until it can actually make money. Predictive markets sound good, but is there enough liquidity? Compliance payments might be the most stable, as ordinary people do need to enter the market.

I am really optimistic about the perpetual DEX, but the problem is that the risks are also increasing... AI trading sounds good, but I'm worried it might just be hype. Prediction markets are indeed interesting; if you bet right, you can make a fortune. Compliance is really important; otherwise, it's easy to get cut. Among the four major tracks, which one do you think is the most promising? AI robots seem to be the true future. Can you still play with DEX liquidity this deep? I'm scared. Regulated payments are the safest, but safety also means average returns. Prediction markets can make quick money but also lose quickly... it's about risk recognition. If this year's crypto market doesn't have some AI concepts, I would be embarrassed to say I'm involved. I'm still cautious about perpetual leverage; I've seen too many liquidations. Going all-in on all four tracks at once is just too crazy.

I'm optimistic about the perpetual DEX, but is AI trading really reliable? Feels like it's all just hype.

The liquidity depth on the perpetual DEX is indeed solid, but the high leverage is a double-edged sword that really requires caution. AI trading strategies sound impressive, but in reality, most are probably just IQ taxes haha. Prediction markets are interesting, but I'm just worried about being hit by a black swan. Can compliance in the payment sector really be implemented? It feels like it's been all talk and no action. All four paths have opportunities, but the risks are quite significant. It's better to stay steady in 2026.
