So what's gonna drive the next major crypto cycle in 2026? Which narrative are we betting on—AI tokens making another run, RWA finally breaking through, or something we haven't even seen coming yet? Curious what everyone's positioning for when the market flips again.

I bet RWA can break through the circle, but to be honest, it's still mostly a gimmick right now. The AI Token hype has already fizzled out, just waiting.

Ngl, the RWA wave might actually be the real main line, the AI token has long been overhyped, who is still betting on this now?

I think it still depends on the macro situation. Who knows about 2026? After AI hype, it feels like RWA is even more reliable because it's too abstract.

To be honest, I don't quite understand this wave of RWA. It feels like it's mostly just hype. On the contrary, I think AI tokens have gone a bit overboard this round; those entering now are probably just dumb buyers. 2026? Who knows, I'm betting on some little narrative that no one is following suddenly breaking into the mainstream.

ngl ai tokens are not moving anymore, we still have to see if there are actual applications on-chain... rwa has been empty for so long, 2026 might bring a whole new narrative that slaps us all in the face.

ngl the real alpha's already being brewed in the dark pools rn... everyone's obsessing over ai tokens like some kinda mass delusion spell, meanwhile the actual transmutation happens in the arcane yields nobody's talking about. rwa's the bait, fr fr.

Well... to be honest, I have never really understood that RWA trap, it feels like just telling a story. I still have faith in AI narrative, after all, GPT is still pouring in money, so tokens will benefit a bit.

To be honest, the AI token trap has long been played out. RWA sounds more reliable, but the difficulty of implementation is really extreme. I feel like the next wave could be something completely unexpected, just like how no one anticipated that memecoins could go so crazy.
