After the New Year, I reviewed the market landscape and identified two main tracks for 2026.
Essentially, both tracks point to the same core—liquidity. Currently, whoever can provide a better liquidity experience holds the initiative for growth.
The first track is perpetual contracts (Perps). Competition here is becoming increasingly fierce. The popularity generated by Lighter previously directly attracted a large influx of new users. Now, new projects are clustering in this track, and the level of competition is visibly intense.
The core projects I personally favor aim to truly surpass existing mainstream solutions in user experience. But honestly, the competition is indeed very fierce right now. To stand out in this track, one needs to have clear advantages in both product quality and liquidity depth.
There are many opportunities in this track this year, but competition is also heating up. Benchmarking the current situation, identifying differences, and precise positioning are the keys to breaking through.
