This episode of Unblocking the Chain looks back at the year that reshaped crypto—and forward to what comes next. The discussion reviews the defining developments of 2025, including regulatory clarity, institutional adoption, ETF growth, stablecoins, tokenisation, AI agents, and predictive markets. From there, the focus shifts to 2026, unpacking practical predictions around payments, foreign exchange, atomic settlement, agentic flow, and why digital assets are now moving from speculation into everyday financial infrastructure.
