Why 2026 Could Be the “Year of the Utility Token”
-
Looking ahead, Yat Siu believes 2026 will mark crypto’s maturity phase, driven by regulation and real-world use cases. He points to upcoming U.S. legislation, including the Clarity Act and GENIUS Act, as unlocking legal certainty for token issuance.
“The phrase we like is ‘tokenize or die,’” Siu said, predicting that established companies will finally launch compliant tokens tied to real businesses. He expects a shift away from memecoin speculation toward gaming, creator economies, and real-world assets.
After what he calls a “vampire attack” on retail liquidity during the memecoin boom, Siu believes the next cycle will reward products with real utility — bringing in users who never thought of themselves as crypto natives.
