Recently, I took another look at the project list from the second batch of a certain incubation platform and reread the 2026 outlook released by a certain compliance platform. I found that their approaches are quite similar.

In terms of technology bets, both are focusing on AI+robotics. It seems this track is truly favored.

On the application implementation side, it's still the usual trio—RWA and DeFi continue to be heavily promoted. After all, this is the bridge connecting real-world assets to the crypto world, and no one wants to miss out.

As for on-chain financial mechanisms, both sides are heavily investing in prediction markets, plus perpetual contract DEXs. With this combo, on-chain trading scenarios are becoming increasingly diverse.

Simply put, everyone is sprinting down the same road, just occupying slightly different lanes.
