Framework Ventures co-founder predicts a focus on mainstream tokens and increasing institutional investment in high-quality DeFi projects by 2026

Spencer suggests that 2025 will not be an exceptional year for crypto, but a necessary transition. The market’s attention will move away from memes and NFTs.

By 2026, token issuance is expected to decline significantly. Institutional funds are predicted to invest heavily in established DeFi projects, gravitating towards high-value assets such as ETH and BTC.
