According to Foresight News, DWF Ventures has unveiled its 2026 outlook, highlighting key areas of focus in infrastructure and application investments. In the Perp DEX sector, the firm is optimistic about 'dark pool' trading platforms that offer privacy customization features to safeguard institutional trading strategies and minimize Alpha leakage. Additionally, they are interested in DeFi composability solutions that support RWA and institutional assets as collateral.
In the stablecoin and RWA domain, DWF Ventures plans to concentrate on yield-generating stablecoins utilizing RWA, settlement layer solutions addressing liquidity fragmentation, and regulated new banks. The RWA sector will focus on unified liquidity layers, RWA vaults, and RWA perpetual contracts.
Regarding privacy, AI, and prediction markets, the firm is enthusiastic about developing on-chain credit lending and undercollateralized loans using zkTLS technology, which combines off-chain credit with on-chain reputation. In the AI direction, attention is given to agent markets based on the x402 protocol, Agent identity systems supporting the ERC-8004 standard, and non-custodial yield optimizers. The prediction market research will emphasize liquidity aggregators and emerging platforms offering position collateral and leverage solutions.
