Where are the real money-making opportunities in crypto heading into 2026? The landscape is shifting fast. Layer 2 scaling solutions, emerging altcoins with solid fundamentals, institutional-grade DeFi protocols—these are spaces worth monitoring closely. Then there's the infrastructure angle: developers keep building, which means tooling and blockchain platforms could see significant momentum. Don't sleep on governance tokens either, especially in ecosystems preparing for major upgrades. The pattern is clear: those who spot the next wave of adoption early tend to position themselves best. 2026 could be a pivotal year for crypto markets. What's your read on where the opportunities lie?

L2 and governance tokens are indeed popular, but honestly, I am more optimistic about infrastructure... developers are still building aggressively.

There are indeed opportunities in L2, but the real profit comes from who can discover the next narrative first.

I am optimistic about L2 and governance tokens, but the real money in this wave is still in the infrastructure toolchain.

This wave of L2 definitely has some substance, but it seems like everyone is just saying the same thing.
