In 2026, I believe Da Mao will very likely appear in the Perp + prediction race + US stocks on the chain.
Perp is optimistic about Standx, Grvt, Var.
Prediction is optimistic about Opioion.
a16z is extremely bullish on the zk track. Honestly, without a wealth creation effect, it's still very difficult. The best example is Brevis, a hot favorite in the zk track, but its pre-market valuation is only $400 million, which can't compare to Perp.
Stablecoin protocols + public chains are popular but lack strong wealth creation effects.
2026 will definitely be much more difficult than 2025.
