Pantera Capital's Head of Investment Research released 12 predictions for 2026, covering DATs, AI, stablecoins, and more.
PANews reported on December 25th that Jay Yu, Head of Research and Investments at Pantera Capital, released 12 predictions for the crypto industry in 2026:
- Capital-efficient consumer credit: Crypto lending that combines on-chain and off-chain credit modeling, modular design, and AI behavior learning will become a new frontier.
- Prediction market differentiation: The prediction market will be divided into a "financial" direction (integrated with DeFi, supporting leverage and staking) and a "cultural" direction (more localized and with long-tail interests).
- Agentic Commerce and x402: The x402-based payment framework will expand, and Solana may surpass Base in x402 transaction volume.
- AI as the Encryption Interface Layer: AI-assisted trading and analysis will become widespread, while LLM-driven trading AI is still in the experimental stage.
- The Rise of Tokenized Gold: Tokenized gold has become a popular asset for hedging against inflation and the dollar problem.
- BTC Quantum Threat: Breakthroughs in quantum technology may prompt BTC institutions to discuss countermeasures, but it will not threaten the value in the short term.
- Unified privacy development experience: Privacy frameworks (such as Kohaku) evolve into enterprise-grade privacy services.
- DATs consolidation: The number of DATs in major sectors will be reduced to 2-3, through consolidation or transformation into ETFs.
- The line between tokens and equity is blurred: governance tokens are facing an existential test, equity-exchangeable tokens may emerge, and the regulatory framework is becoming clearer.
- Hyperliquid dominates perpetual contract DEXs: Hyperliquid maintains its dominant position, with stablecoins becoming core assets.
- Prop AMMs Multi-Chain Expansion: Prop AMMs multi-chain expansion accounts for over 50% of Solana transaction volume.
- Stablecoin international payment flows: More fintech companies (such as Stripe and Brex) are using stablecoins for international payments, and stablecoin chains such as Tempo are becoming major fiat-crypto gateways.

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise
The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
