According to PANews, Animoca Brands Co-Founder and Executive Chairman Yat Siu has forecasted a significant shift in the cryptocurrency market by 2026. He believes that the market's excessive anticipation of U.S. President Donald Trump's re-election will not materialize, marking the end of the 'politically driven' phase. Siu anticipates that future developments will be driven by infrastructure, regulation, and genuine user engagement.Siu highlighted that institutional capital has elevated Bitcoin to a status akin to a gold reserve asset, compelling altcoins to demonstrate their practical utility. He also noted the accelerating integration of artificial intelligence with cryptocurrency, suggesting that Hong Kong is poised to become a pivotal global hub in this domain. Siu remarked, 'Cryptocurrency is essentially a natural asset class for AI agents.'
