The Beginning of Direct Payments in the Creator Economy with the Entry of Crypto
💵 The creator economy is gradually moving away from traditional advertising-based models and centralized payment networks toward direct, peer-to-peer payments.

Hougan believes that while 2026 has started well for crypto, achieving new records will require specific conditions to be met in regulatory, psychological, and macroeconomic areas.
