This article discusses the transformation of Ethereum in blockchain transactions, introducing the implementation of faster real-time transaction processing by splitting blocks into "sub-blocks". This shift eliminates the gap between intention and execution, allowing users to enjoy an instant, certain, and fair trading experience. It is expected that by the end of 2026, real-time execution will become the standard configuration for applications.

In 2025, the Crypto Assets industry experienced a significant fall, with the vast majority of alts declining by 80%-99%. Bitcoin regained market dominance, while Ether's price fell back to 2022 levels. Strategies such as prediction markets and cash-backed Options received attention, and market governance and Tokenized securities emerged. In the future, there will be greater focus on fundamentals and real value, rather than short-term narratives.

Bhutan is taking a significant step into the cryptocurrency space, announcing a allocation of up to 10,000 Bitcoins (BTC) (approximately $1 billion USD) to fund the "Gleup Happiness City" initiative.
For years, Bhutan's government investment arm, Druk Holding & Investments (DHI), has been mining Bitcoin using renewable energy. Currently, the country has become one of the leading Bitcoin holders globally, with a reserve of over 11,000 BTC.
To achieve sustainable development, the government plans to support the GMC's development through methods such as collateral loans and revenue generation, rather than directly selling Bitcoin. This special administrative region will attract enterprises from sectors like finance, tourism, green energy, and technology.
Core Plan
Gleup plans to align with its "Gross National Happiness" (GNH)

It's simple: the chains designed, built, and tuned for applications will shine brightly. Next year's top application chains will be meticulously assembled based on primitives and first principles.
The recent surge of developers, users, institutions, and capital entering the chain space is different from before: they possess specific cultures (understood as the definition of user experience), and they value these cultures more than abstract ideals like decentralization and censorship resistance. In practice, this sometimes aligns with our existing infrastructure, and sometimes it doesn't.
For crypto abstractions like Blackbird or Farcaster, which are aimed at non-experts, aspects of user experience—particularly those that, even three years ago, were considered heretical decentralization decisions—such as colocated nodes and single sequencers—are especially important.

If you want to profit in cryptocurrency, you need to have an edge. This can take many forms, but you must have one. Otherwise, you're at the mercy of the market.
An edge is a strategy, skill, or knowledge that allows you to achieve higher-probability profits over the long term.
Think of it as an advantage (such as insider information that only a few can access) that enables you to profit. The key is that you need to be able to repeatedly leverage this advantage until it disappears. Then, you need to change your strategy or learn new skills.
In the following content, I will share real examples to help you define your own edge. Let’s get started!
A consistently profitable trader will tell you that an edge is a clear market advantage that can be exploited during specific periods. Arbitrage is one example.

DeFi (Decentralized Finance) was the "next big trend" of 2020, attracting thousands of new users to the crypto space during that time. Unfortunately, since then, we have yet to see another true moment of large-scale industry adoption.
You might say that prediction markets play a similar role today, but anyone who experienced 2020 knows that the level of frenzy back then was far greater.
My theory is that AI agents will be the next big trend because they will ultimately make crypto and DeFi more accessible to everyone, thereby lowering the barrier for joining our industry.
In this article, I'll explain why I firmly believe this and share with you the top AI agent projects for each specific use case.
Agents are what the crypto space needs
