Looking ahead to 2026, the crypto ecosystem is poised for a massive wave of launches and upgrades that could reshape the market landscape.
Early in the year, Ethereum's highly anticipated BPO hard fork is set to roll out, while several major projects are gearing up for mainnet debuts and token generation events. MegaETH mainnet alongside its TGE will arrive in Q1, joined by Miden's mainnet launch. On the infrastructure side, Securitize's trading platform and OpenSea's SEA token are expected to go live, while Ondo is preparing to introduce tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs to the market.
Moving into H1 2026, the momentum picks up further. Kraken's highly anticipated IPO marks a major institutional milestone for the exchange sector. Western Union's stablecoin rollout signals growing adoption from legacy financial players venturing into digital assets. Tempo is also in the pipeline, though details continue to develop.
With this packed calendar, 2026 could become a defining year for crypto adoption, infrastructure maturity, and mainstream integration.

The schedule for 2026 is set, huh? A bunch of things are all stuck in the first half of the year, it feels like we're heading into another round of hype cycle.
