#以太坊大户持仓变化 After the perpDEX boom in 2026, what will be the next mainstream track? My observations are as follows:
**Prediction Markets** definitely have potential. But honestly, this area has already entered deep waters. Compliance costs are high, and most of the easily accessible opportunities have already been taken. New projects launching in this direction are highly likely.
The story of **AI + Blockchain** is far from over. After the explosion from 2023 to 2024, this year's main focus has been on clearing unrealized gains and shakeouts. But the underlying logic remains—the innovations around robots, AI Agents, and similar technologies are still vast and worth exploring.
Both of these tracks certainly leave room for imagination.
Besides these, opportunities still exist in staking protocols, real-world asset tokenization, and payment solutions (such as U cards and stablecoin ecosystems). But if we talk about truly explosive opportunities... I feel there are some corners that haven't been fully explored yet.
What are your thoughts? Are there any other tracks that could become the next focus in 2026?

I think the prediction market sector is indeed somewhat overrated; once compliance costs kick in, it quickly exposes vulnerabilities.
The AI Agent direction is still somewhat interesting, but I don't know who will make it to the end.
Tokenization of physical assets feels overhyped, and there are still quite few real use cases.
Stablecoin ecosystem? By the way, can the U-card system really be implemented? It still feels too idealistic.
The next dark horse track is probably hiding in some corner, waiting to be discovered.

The prediction market has long been exploited by capital; now entering it just makes you the bagholder. AI + blockchain are worth watching, but you need to choose projects carefully and avoid the hype-driven ones.

Predicting market compliance is indeed a tough hurdle, but I really believe in AI Agent. I'm just worried it might turn into another round of chopping up the chives.

The prediction market is indeed competitive, and compliance is a hurdle. However, I am optimistic about the AI Agent direction; the real opportunity will come after the shakeout.

The compliance barrier in the prediction market makes it very difficult for new projects to turn things around. AI Agent really needs to be thought through.

ngl, prediction markets are already getting crowded... the real play is probably in ai agents + blockchain integration. that's where the actual innovation arbitrage sits rn, not just rehashed narratives
