**[Coinbase Predicts the Crypto Market Will Enter the DAT 2.0 Model by 2026]** David Duong, Head of Research at Coinbase, stated in the "2026 Market Outlook Report" that the resilience of the U.S. economy and improvements in labor productivity will help cushion the slowdown in economic growth. He predicts that the crypto market in the first half of 2026 will resemble "1996" more than "1999." The report forecasts that DAT will enter the 2.0 model in 2026, focusing on professional trading and storage in sovereign blockchain spaces, with token economies shifting toward revenue-linked models. Zero-knowledge proofs and fully homomorphic encryption technologies will continue to develop, leading to a significant increase in on-chain privacy usage. The report also anticipates an expansion in prediction market trading volume by 2026, with changes in U.S. tax policies potentially driving users toward the derivatives market. The total market capitalization of stablecoins is expected to reach $1.2 trillion by the end of 2028, with more application scenarios emerging in areas such as cross-border transaction settlements.
