The Block Research Predicts: IPOs Will Outperform Token Launches, Forecasting That Prediction Markets Will Launch Their Own Chains

The Block Research's annual prediction report for 2026 presents a mix of bullish and cautious forecasts from its analysts. Key predictions include Bitcoin potentially reaching $140,000, stablecoin market cap surpassing $500 billion, and notable token launches from Polymarket and Base—both expected to enter the top 10 by fully diluted valuation. Several analysts emphasize the growing dominance of Bitcoin, with its market share remaining above 50%. A significant theme is the shift from token launches to IPOs among crypto companies, with firms like Kraken, BitGo, and Consensys expected to go public. Prediction markets, particularly Polymarket and Kalshi, are projected to see substantial growth, with at least one likely to launch its own blockchain. Stablecoins are anticipated to see accelerated adoption in both emerging and developed markets, with USDC becoming a key bridging asset. Other highlights include the rise of mobile-first crypto apps on Base, increased institutional adoption of stablecoins for payments, and the continued growth of decentralized perpetual exchanges—especially for stocks and commodities. However, not all sectors are optimistic; NFTs and memecoins are expected to decline, and many digital asset trusts (DATs) may face selling pressure due to persistent discounts to net asset value. The market is predicted to be selective, favoring projects with real users and sustainable models over speculative assets.

Venezuela's $60 Billion BTC 'Shadow Reserves', Walmart Supports Bitcoin Payments: What's the Overseas Crypto Community Talking About Today?

In the past 24 hours, the crypto market saw discussions ranging from macro trends to ecosystem-specific developments. Key topics included warnings about on-chain price manipulation, using AI to capture alpha in prediction markets, and the potential impact of geopolitical risks on supply dynamics. Mainstream discussions highlighted a sharp but suspicious 40% surge in $CVX, driven by bot activity rather than genuine demand, serving as a caution against becoming exit liquidity. Polymarket gained attention as traders shared methods to use AI tools to track insider addresses, lowering the barrier to alpha discovery. Geopolitical tension arose with reports that Venezuela holds a "shadow reserve" of over 600,000 BTC (worth $600B+), accumulated through gold swaps and oil exports settled in USDT. If seized by the U.S., these coins could become long-term locked supply, potentially boosting BTC’s. On safety, analysis showed that physical attacks on crypto holders are rising with market cap but remain proportionally lower than in 2015 or 2018. In adoption news, Walmart announced it will accept Bitcoin payments at checkout via OnePay Cash, reaching over 150M customers. Ecosystem-wise, Solana’s spot trading volume surpassed all off-chain exchanges except Binance, hitting $1.6T. Ethereum solidified its role in stablecoin settlement, with transfer volume doubling to $8T in Q4 2025. Perp DEX open interest returned to pre-crash levels, indicating renewed confidence. Other updates included Sui’s plans for protocol-level private transactions by 2026, and Infinix’s unsuccessful public raise, securing less than 10% of its $5M target.

Solana overtakes major CEXs with $1.6T spot volume – Details

Solana recorded the second-highest spot trading volume in 2025, reaching $1.6 trillion, surpassing all major centralized exchanges except Binance. This represents a significant shift, as Solana's share of total spot activity grew from barely 1% three years ago to 12% by January 4th, 2025. The change reflects a gradual migration of liquidity toward faster and cheaper blockchain networks. This growth is supported by an increase in stablecoin supply on Solana, which has risen alongside its trading volumes. While Ethereum still holds the largest stablecoin share and Tron remains a major hub, Solana is quickly closing the gap. Stablecoins serve as essential fuel for spot trading, creating a reinforcing cycle where liquidity attracts volume and volume sustains liquidity. Additionally, SOL's price has shown strong momentum, breaking above $130 after a period of consolidation. Technical indicators, including an RSI around 58, a move above the 20-day moving average, and a positive MACD, suggest continued upward potential. Overall, Solana’s performance highlights the growing role of high-performance blockchains as serious competitors to centralized exchanges, contributing to a more fragmented and decentralized market structure.

Crypto Phishing Losses Crash By 83% In 2025 – Details

Crypto phishing losses plummeted by 83% in 2025, falling from $494 million to $83.85 million, with victim count dropping 68% to 106,106. Despite the decline, Web3 security firm Scam Sniffer warns this does not indicate reduced threat levels, as losses correlated with market activity—peaking in Q3 during high user engagement. A new threat emerged with EIP-7702 exploits, enabling bundled malicious transactions via account abstraction. Permit/Permit2 signatures remained the leading attack method, responsible for 38% of large-case losses. Major incidents included a $1.46 billion breach by the Lazarus group. While reported losses fell, attackers may be shifting to harder-to-track methods like private key theft or targeted social engineering.
