My top three coins to watch for 2026: #top3for2026

#ETH - underpins a growing amount of real world applications providing growing financial value to economies. This coin has real utility and has been undervalued for years. There will come a time when the true value begins to show in the price of ETH - and I believe that time will begin this year.

#LTC - "Digital Silver" is a huge narrative and creates a valuable brand, further aligning it with bitcoin. Yet Litecoin has real world applications with cheap transaction costs and growing usage. Combine that with the MWEB extension which aligns it to the growing privacy sector and you have a reliable, proven and high-utility currency that has withstood the test of time and remained relevant - a rare combination that will reap rewards in 2026 I believe.

#TAO - The currency and the ecosystem that we all need to work. There is little doubt of the growing utility and adoption of AI in the real world and its adoption is set to surge in the coming year. Such critical technology cannot be closed source and held within the gates of corporations operating only for their own benefit. It must be open source and able to operate for the greater good of humanity. All of us would benefit from a world where big tech and giant corporations have less of a stranglehold on the world - and so all of us should be investing in bittensor - Not to mention it has a growing number of subnets, of which some are showing growing utility and real world profit. It's even beginning to outperform mainstream big tech AI in certain key areas. This is the internet for #AI and the bitcoin of AI all wrapped into one.

That's my hot take for the top three coins for 2026.
