Framework Ventures co-founder predicts that the crypto industry will focus on mainstream assets and DeFi blue chips in 2026

According to TechFlow, on December 30, Framework Ventures co-founder Vance Spencer stated on social media that although 2025 may not be an ideal year for the crypto industry, it will lay the necessary foundation for future development. He predicts that in 2026, the industry will see a significant reduction in token issuance and instead focus on mainstream assets such as bitcoin and ethereum. Institutional investors’ interest in DeFi blue-chip projects with reasonable value accrual mechanisms will increase substantially. Spencer believes that the future of the crypto industry will revolve around stablecoins, real-world assets (RWAs), lending capital markets, and asset management, addressing industry issues by reducing disorderly experimentation, improving efficiency, and following regulatory pathways.
