Všichni kryptoví bojovníci, připravte se — protože tohle není jen zpráva, tohle je plnohodnotná revoluce, která už není daleko. Děje se to teď.
Je leden 2026 a Hongkongská měnová autorita (HKMA) zcela změnila hru.

HKMA oficiálně potvrdila, že první licence na stablecoiny budou vydány v 1. čtvrtletí 2026 — právě v tomto čtvrtletí. Finanční tajemník Hongkongu Paul Chan oznámil tuto bombu v Davosu a od té doby globální trhy, instituce, hedge fondy — každý zadržuje dech.

Velké technologické společnosti jako Apple, Google, X (dříve Twitter), Airbnb, Meta a Uber stále více zkoumají integraci stablecoinů do svých platebních systémů. Tento krok je do značné míry motivován potenciálem výrazně snížit transakční náklady a zvýšit efektivitu přeshraničních plateb, čímž se obcházejí tradiční zprostředkovatelé, jako jsou sítě kreditních karet.
Zatímco někteří, jako Google Cloud, již začali přijímat platby stablecoiny (např. PayPalův PYUSD), jiní jsou v různých fázích diskuse a vývoje. X pracuje na své aplikaci "X Money" s cílem integrace stablecoinů a Apple údajně jedná se vydavatelem stablecoinů Circle o své platební infrastruktuře.

How Stablecoins, AI Agents, Privacy, and Crypto-Native Finance Will Redesign the Internet Economy
In its latest Big Ideas report, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) outlines how crypto is transitioning from a speculative frontier into core digital infrastructure. The 2026 outlook is not about hype cycles—it is about settlement, identity, automation, privacy, and real economic alignment.
Below is a structured and forward-looking synthesis of 17 foundational trends that collectively describe where crypto is heading—and why it matters far beyond Web3.
I. Stablecoins, RWA Tokenization, Payments & Finance
1. Stablecoin On-Ramps Become the Missing Link to Mass Adoption
Stablecoins have already surpassed most global payment networks in transaction volume, yet adoption remains constrained by weak fiat on-ramps and off-ramps. The next wave of infrastructure focuses on direct integration with local payment rails, QR-based transfers, interoperable wallets, and merchant-ready card issuance.
As these channels mature, stablecoins will evolve from niche crypto instruments into the default settlement layer for global commerce, enabling real-time wages, borderless payments, and instant merchant settlement.
2. RWA Tokenization Must Become Crypto-Native—Not a Replica of TradFi
Tokenizing traditional assets without redesigning their structure limits crypto’s potential. a16z argues that crypto-native financial primitives—such as perpetual derivatives and on-chain initiated debt—offer superior liquidity, accessibility, and scalability compared to simple tokenized replicas.
In parallel, stablecoins will move beyond narrow, reserve-only models toward innovative issuance frameworks that better support on-chain credit, lending, and economic expansion.
3. Stablecoins Quietly Upgrade the World’s Banking Ledgers
Legacy banking infrastructure is outdated, slow, and difficult to modify. Stablecoins provide a workaround—allowing banks and fintechs to launch new products without rebuilding decades-old core systems.
Tokenized deposits, on-chain treasuries, and stablecoin rails are becoming a low-risk innovation layer for financial institutions, accelerating real-time payments and programmable finance across the global system.
4. The Internet Is Evolving into a Bank
As AI agents begin executing tasks autonomously, payments must match the speed, programmability, and intent-driven nature of software. Blockchains enable value to move like data—instant, permissionless, and automated.
In this model, payments dissolve into infrastructure. APIs, compute resources, prediction markets, and digital services can all settle value natively, turning the internet itself into a financial operating system.
5. Wealth Management Goes Global—and Automated
Tokenization, DeFi, and AI are dismantling the exclusivity of wealth management. Personalized, actively managed portfolios—once reserved for high-net-worth individuals—are becoming accessible to everyone.
With stablecoins, tokenized funds, and automated vaults, portfolios can rebalance instantly across public and private assets, unlocking global, always-on wealth accumulation.
II. Agents & Artificial Intelligence
6. From KYC to KYA: Identity for AI Agents
AI agents already outnumber human workers in financial systems, yet they lack formal identity. The next challenge is Know Your Agent (KYA)—cryptographic credentials that define authority, accountability, and constraints.
Without agent identity, autonomous commerce stalls. With it, AI can legally trade, transact, and participate in the global economy.
7. AI Becomes a True Research Collaborator
AI is no longer limited to summarization—it is now capable of deep reasoning, speculative exploration, and original insight generation. Multi-layered agent systems can critique, refine, and validate one another, accelerating discovery in economics, science, and engineering.
Crypto plays a key role by enabling verifiable contribution tracking and compensation across collaborative AI workflows.
8. AI Is Draining the Open Web—Value Must Flow Back
AI agents consume content without contributing revenue, creating an “invisible tax” on the open internet. Advertising and subscriptions are no longer sufficient.
The solution lies in real-time micropayments, attribution standards, and on-chain compensation, allowing every contributor—human or machine—to be rewarded automatically when value is created.
III. Privacy & Security
9. Privacy Becomes Crypto’s Strongest Competitive Moat
Performance is no longer enough. Privacy introduces stickiness and network effects that are difficult to replicate. Once users commit to a privacy-preserving ecosystem, migration becomes risky due to metadata leakage.
This dynamic could lead to winner-take-all outcomes, where a small number of privacy-first chains dominate real-world finance.
10. Decentralized Messaging Beyond Quantum Resistance
Encryption alone is insufficient if communication relies on centralized servers. True resilience requires decentralized, serverless messaging protocols where users control identity and data with cryptographic keys.
In this future, communication becomes censorship-resistant, portable, and owned by users—not platforms.
11. “Secrets-as-a-Service” Becomes Core Infrastructure
As agents and institutions handle sensitive data, programmable data access becomes essential. Secrets-as-a-Service enables on-chain enforced encryption, access control, and auditability, replacing trust-based data management with cryptographic guarantees.
Privacy shifts from an application feature to internet-level infrastructure.
12. From “Code Is Law” to “Rules Are Enforced by Code”
Security is evolving from reactive patching to formalized, enforceable invariants. Runtime monitoring and AI-assisted verification ensure that violations are blocked automatically—regardless of attack novelty.
This marks the transition from best-effort security to systemic resilience by design.
IV. New Applications & Media
13. Prediction Markets Expand in Scope and Intelligence
Prediction markets will grow beyond politics into complex, multi-event futures. AI agents will trade, analyze signals, and surface insights—while decentralized oracles and governance models resolve disputes.
Rather than replacing polls, prediction markets will enhance collective forecasting accuracy.
14. The Emergence of Staked Media
Credibility is shifting from claims to commitments. Analysts, creators, and commentators can now stake tokens, lock positions, and bind predictions to verifiable outcomes.
This “staked media” model transforms trust from reputation-based to cryptographically provable alignment.
15. Cryptography Escapes the Blockchain
Zero-knowledge proofs are becoming efficient enough for mainstream computing. By 2026, zk-proofs will enable verifiable cloud computation, allowing users to trust results without trusting providers.
This unlocks a new era of provable software execution far beyond blockchains.
V. Industry Evolution
16. Trading Is a Phase—Not the Endgame
Many crypto startups pivot toward trading for fast revenue, but this path leads to congestion and consolidation. Sustainable winners will focus on deep product utility, not short-term volume.
Trading is a transit point—not a destination.
17. When Law and Code Finally Align
Regulatory clarity is approaching. With structured market laws, blockchain networks can finally operate as networks—not pseudo-companies.
Clear rules will restore transparency, incentivize compliance, and allow decentralization to function as intended—unlocking crypto’s full economic potential.
Final Takeaway
By 2026, crypto will no longer be defined by tokens—but by settlement, identity, privacy, automation, and trust-minimized coordination.
The internet is not integrating finance.
It is becoming finance.
