What stood out to me most was the clear separation between what already works in crypto and what’s coming next. Exchanges and stablecoins feel mature at this point. They’re no longer experiments — they function, scale, and are already embedded in the ecosystem. The more interesting part, in my view, is what follows. Tokenization keeps coming up, and for good reason. Turning real-world assets into on-chain structures is no longer theoretical. It’s slowly becoming practical. Payments are another area worth watching. Not because people suddenly want to pay directly with crypto, but because crypto is starting to work quietly in the background while users keep familiar payment habits. And AI? That’s where things could get really interesting. Autonomous systems will need native, programmable money — and traditional rails don’t fit that role very well. Feels like the next phase of crypto growth will be less noisy, but more structural.#DOGEETFListsonNasdaq #GateWeb3UpgradestoGateDEX #TrumpWithdrawsEUTariffThreats
