Ryan Chow, CEO of Solv Protocol, suggests that if tokens lose their significance, the value of cryptocurrencies will shift towards fundamentals such as adoption, usability, and security. According to NS3.AI, Chow identifies three protocols that are expected to remain crucial by 2026: Chainlink for oracle services, Canton Network for compliant privacy-preserving settlement, and Circle's USDC stablecoin for institutional payments. He stresses the importance of crypto projects that are built on real economic infrastructure and have usage-based revenue models, rather than relying on speculative token dynamics.
