According to Cryptonews, Edul Patel, CEO of Mudrex, an Indian cryptocurrency trading and investment platform, stated that stablecoins, the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs), and the integration of artificial intelligence with blockchain will be among the biggest drivers of cryptocurrency adoption in 2026.
Regarding regulatory and investor behavior shifts, he pointed out that while India has developed mature exchanges and investor awareness is constantly improving, "what is still lacking is regulatory clarity." He anticipates that investors will gradually shift from speculation to fundamental analysis, and people may be more inclined to choose projects with clear real-world use cases, sound fundamentals, and greater transparency in areas such as token economics. This trend is already evident in decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, Web3, and the emerging convergence of artificial intelligence and blockchain.
