Delphi Digital has unveiled its top ten cryptocurrency trends for 2026, highlighting significant advancements in the sector. Key predictions include the rise of AI agents capable of autonomous trading, utilizing stablecoins for automatic settlement with on-chain protocols. Perpetual contract DEXs are expected to evolve into "on-chain Wall Street," integrating trading, custody, clearing, and lending services.
The forecast also anticipates prediction markets becoming integral to traditional financial infrastructure, aiding in hedging against earnings reports and macroeconomic events. Public chains and applications may start reclaiming stablecoin interest revenues, challenging issuer monopolies. DeFi is projected to advance in unsecured or low-collateral lending, driven by technologies like zkTLS, while on-chain FX finds product-market fit in emerging markets.
Additionally, gold and Bitcoin are predicted to continue leading the "currency devaluation trade." Exchanges are set to transform into "super apps," privacy infrastructure is expected to rapidly improve, and altcoin returns will likely become highly differentiated, with capital concentrating on projects with genuine demand, revenue, and competitive advantages.
