SNZ–NTU CCTF: "Top Ten Blockchain Industry Trends for 2026" — Now Released! 🧨 On this Chinese New Year's Eve, as we bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, we are excited to announce the release of the "Top Ten Blockchain Industry Trends for 2026" , jointly published by SNZ and Nanyang Technological University The Centre in Computational Technologies for Finance (NTU-CCTF). 👉 Read the full report for free here: heyzine.com/flip-book/6c74… As we look ahead from early 2026, the Web3 sector is undergoing a profound transformation — moving away from speculative experimentation and toward building verifiable financial infrastructure. Stablecoins are evolving into a settlement layer for global payments. Real-world assets (RWA) are transitioning from pilots to composable instruments within DeFi. Smart accounts, intent-based execution, and zero-knowledge technology are bringing on-chain interactions closer to the expectations users have of mainstream digital products. Based on a systematic review of technological progress, market developments, and cutting-edge academic research, we outline the top 10 trends most likely to see meaningful breakthroughs in 2026: 1.On-Chain Treasuries and Cash Management: Real-World Assets Move from Concept to Product 2.Stablecoins: A Potential New Focal Point for Global Payments in 2026 3.The Smart-Account Era: Bringing On-Chain Interaction Back to Everyday User Experience 4.From "Manually Constructing Trades" to "Goal-Based Execution with Competitive Back-End Bidding" 5.Zero-Knowledge Proofs: From Privacy Feature to a Foundation for Verifiable Computation 6.Privacy and Compliance: From a Trade-Off to a Verifiable, Engineering-Led Balance 7.Shared Security and Restaking: Reframing Security Budgeting as a Tradable Economic Resource 8.DePIN Networks: From Incentive-Driven Narratives to Verifiable Engineering 9.Decentralized AI: From Narrative-Driven Hype to Engineering Practice 10.Token Governance: From Voting Procedures Back to Institutional Design of Rights and Responsibilities This report brings together SNZ's industry insights and NTU CCTF's academic rigor, offering a forward-looking and practical reference for builders, researchers, and decision-makers across the blockchain ecosystem. 📥 Download, read, and share — and let's witness these trends unfold together in 2026! Happy New Year of the Horse! 🐎

Help Us Gear Up for Launch During the Crystalfall Server Slam! To ensure a smooth Early Access launch for Crystalfall in early 2026, we wish to enlist your support in testing our servers in a 24 hour Server Slam. 📅 17 December, 12pm UTC to 18th December, 12pm UTC. Please note that the game is still undergoing performance and bug testing and is not yet in a launch-ready state. We hold the Server Slam early to give our team time to make adjustments before launch, if needed. This is a chance for all players to check out Crystalfall and familiarize themselves with our game systems and features. A lot of new features and updates have been added since our last playtest, including the new Technomancer class, which will be available for you to try. The purpose of the Server Slam is to stress test our servers in a real test environment to ensure that our launch in Early Access is as smooth as possible. In order to have as many players as possible playing at the same time, we’ll be running this for a 24 hour period. To properly test the servers, we hope you'll play for at least an hour, or until you reach the first encampment. The Server Slam is free to join on Steam for all players. To participate, head over to our Steam page on December 17th and navigate to the Playtest section under the trailer. Click on the Request Access button to automatically join the Server Slam.

Thrilled to share that SNZ partners Gilles and Gavin participated in the Hong Kong China Financial Association 2025 Annual Forum. Our CIO Gavin shared key insights on the RWA panel, discussing institutional adoption. We witnessed strong consensus among leading institutions: #DigitalAssets, #Web3, and #RWA are rapidly maturing with substantial practical experience being accumulated. The energy and progressive mindset in Hong Kong's financial ecosystem are truly remarkable. We are proud to contribute to these critical conversations shaping our industry's future.

It was great honor to have our CIO Gavin Wang with @tkstanczak from @ethereumfndn exploring how #Ethereum is laying the foundation for the next-gen financial infrastructure in #HKFTW. As institutions adopt blockchain, security remains the non-negotiable foundation for mainstream trust. From scalability to institutional tooling, the roadmap is clear. Proud to help drive this future from Asia. Tomasz also shared insights on the institutional adoption of blockchain technology, including key use cases and examples, mentioning that over 70% of RWA and 60% of stablecoins are deployed on Ethereum.
