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

TechFlow news, December 30 — Vance Spencer, co-founder of Framework Ventures, posted on social media stating that although 2025 may not be an ideal year for the crypto industry, it has laid the necessary foundation for future development. He predicts that in 2026, the industry will significantly reduce token issuance and instead focus on mainstream assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, while institutional investors' interest in blue-chip DeFi projects with sound value accrual mechanisms will substantially increase. Spencer believes the future of the crypto industry will center around stablecoins, real-world assets (RWAs), lending capital markets, and asset management, addressing industry challenges by reducing chaotic experimentation, improving efficiency, and following regulatory pathways.
