Corbin PageCorb's 2026 Crypto Predictions
Corbin PageW3P: Collab Market
An NFT marketplace for trading “social capital” like endorsements, intros, work-for-tokens, or a consulting calls. “Web3 Fiver” or “tokenized time” has been attempted a few times, but we propose a couple important tweaks: 1) focus only on the web3 creator economy like influencers, community managers, smart contract specialists, and NFT artists and 2) build the tech as an NFT marketplace to get composability with the already large ecosystem: 2ndary sale fees, aggregators, dexes, lending, fract...

📈 Past week’s Top Crypto Product Launches
Twitter launches crypto Tips on Bitcoin Lightning | 🔼 234
Robinhood rolling out full crypto wallet with transfers | 🔼 187
DeFi $DATA Index from Index Coop tracks Web3 Data Economy | 🔼 65
Twitter's slate of new product announcements is not slowing down. The company today introduced a number of new initiatives aimed at better serving the
🤔 Why it Matters
The financial system of the Internet will be built on crypto and DeFi. Period. Twitter has strategically pushed into the creator economy recently (newsletters, ticketed spaces, etc) and Tip Jar is the latest feature, providing several payment options including Bitcoin payments over the Lightening network powered by Strike.
Twitter also announced NFT authentication of profile pictures, which appears to be the killer app of the recent NFT boom (reputation, flexing, tribal, speculation). Social media is the center of our digital lives today (until the Metaverse is ready) so having crypto payment rails and property rights (NFTs) embedded is going to be a space race amongst the different platforms, with Reddit and Twitter leading the way currently.
🤔 Why it Matters
The great Fintech+DeFi convergence is in motion and accelerating. Robinhood clearly sees crypto and DeFi as a valuable product segment, so I would expect them to add more and more functionality over time including access to DeFi yield, liquidity pools, NFTs, etc. In ~2-3 years, everyone will have a crypto wallet (or multiple) whether they know it or not. Regulatory environment pending of course.
🤔 Why it Matters
New DeFi investors, particularly institutions, want to bet on whole crypto sectors (L1s, NFTs, DeFi, Web3) and not sort through hundreds of tokens and pick some winners. Index funds provide a real solution to this problem, and Index Coop launched the $DATA index this week providing exposure to the growing Web3 Data Economy like Filecoin, Chainlink, The Graph, etc. Crypto will unlock totally new asset classes like cultural or social capital, and the capital help in data markets is largely untapped today except for advertising. Watch this trend over the next 2-3 years and if you want exposure to its growth, consider getting some $DATA yourself.
