The focus of competition in the crypto market in 2026 is no longer whether the technology can run smoothly, but who controls the discourse power of the infrastructure.
Institutional capital and government agencies are accelerating the migration of core business systems onto the blockchain. What does this shift mean? Trillions of dollars in funds require a more stable settlement layer, more transparent on-chain governance mechanisms, and absolute security of asset control. From DEXs to cross-chain bridges, from DeFi protocols to sovereign digital assets, the competition for operational rights at every link is intensifying.
Stablecoins are no longer just trading tools; they are evolving into digital settlement products circulating globally. This trend is now irreversible. The key question becomes: which participants can secure a commanding position in this round of infrastructure development?

Basically, whoever has more chips gets to speak; technology has long ceased to be an issue.

Infrastructure discourse dominance? Basically, it's about who can hold the choke point. Now you understand why some L1s are raising funds every day.

Speaking of this infrastructure battle, I saw it coming a long time ago. On the technical side, the MACD has already experienced a golden cross, but institutions haven't fully entered the market yet... Wait, why am I starting to think about bottom-fishing at high levels again?

Tens of trillions entering the market, risk control thresholds will inevitably be re-priced. When the time comes, how fierce will the liquidation chain reaction be...

Wait, who holds the real power? Technology has long ceased to be a bottleneck.

actually, the real paradigm shift here isn't about infrastructure dominance—it's about whose algorithmic framework gets embedded into the settlement layer itself. the hash value of governance becomes the new battlefield, tbh

The game of power struggle has begun; no one can expect to win passively.
