On January 1st, a16z crypto stated in its latest New Year forecast that 2026 will be a key year for the deep integration of crypto technology with finance, the internet, and legal systems.

Key points include: · Stablecoins will see more efficient fiat on/off ramps and drive upgrades to banking ledgers and payment systems; · Tokenization of Real-World Assets (RWA) will develop in a more "native crypto" manner, with stablecoins becoming key infrastructure; · Crypto is reshaping wealth management, expanding from high-net-worth individuals to "accessible to all"; · Privacy is regarded as the most important long-term moat in the crypto space; · New paradigms such as decentralized, quantum-resistant communication and "Secrets-as-a-Service" will emerge; · AI will be widely used in serious research scenarios, and "Know Your Customer (KYC)" is evolving into "Know Your Agent (KYA)"; · New application forms like prediction markets and staked media are expected to expand their influence; · As legal frameworks gradually align with technical architectures, the full potential of blockchain can truly be unleashed. a16z crypto believes that transactions will no longer be the end point of crypto business, but merely a "transit station" toward a broader application ecosystem, with crypto becoming the underlying new primitive for the internet and financial systems.

&nbsp;the Ethereum network performed strongly in 2025, processing a record volume of transactions and dominating the DeFi market (mainnet TVL accounted for 64%). However, the ETH price fell 10% throughout the year to below $3,000, decoupling from network activity. Because Ethereum proactively reduced transaction fees through technical upgrades to promote the growth of L2 networks and the expansion of the entire ecosystem, mainnet revenue declined significantly. In 2025, total L2 revenue fell 53% to $129 million, but fees paid to the mainnet sharply dropped to only $10 million, with L2 operators retaining about $119 million in profit. This means the Ethereum mainnet “sacrificed” over $100 million in potential revenue (a decrease of about $103 million compared to 2024) to subsidize ecosystem growth.
