According to PANews, the cryptocurrency sector is transitioning from infrastructure development to offering 'new banking' style applications, emphasizing payments, lending, and stablecoins. Projects like Polygon and ether.fi are integrating on-chain self-custody features with traditional financial experiences, aiming to provide banking-like products without requiring users to understand the underlying technology. Messari highlights that while this trend holds significant potential, there is currently a high degree of similarity among crypto cards and payment products. Industry experts generally believe that genuine user growth will stem from on-chain native, composable financial experiences.

According to BlockBeats, Ark Invest analyst and portfolio manager David Puell has highlighted a shift in Bitcoin's next phase, emphasizing that investor participation will depend more on the proportion of exposure they are willing to allocate and the investment tools they choose to engage with, rather than merely believing in the asset. With the introduction of spot Bitcoin ETFs in 2024 and the rapid development of digital asset treasury strategies, Bitcoin has crossed a significant threshold into institutional maturity. The combined holdings of ETFs and digital asset treasuries now account for approximately 12% of Bitcoin's total supply, exceeding expectations and becoming a major driver of price trends by 2025, a trend likely to continue into 2026. As the amount of Bitcoin absorbed by ETFs and corporate treasuries surpasses expectations, the market is entering a more institutionalized phase with reduced volatility. Ark Invest remains confident in its long-term valuation framework for Bitcoin. Based on Ark's published valuation model, predictions for Bitcoin's price by 2030 include approximately $300,000 in a bear market scenario, around $710,000 in a baseline scenario, and up to $1.5 million in a bull market scenario. David Puell stated that driven by the 'digital gold' narrative and institutional adoption, the company still expects Bitcoin to reach between $300,000 and $1.5 million by 2030. Puell also noted that as volatility decreases and the extent of pullbacks narrows, Bitcoin may become increasingly attractive to investors with lower risk appetites in the next cycle.

According to Foresight News, Polygon Labs CEO Marc Boiron announced on social media that the company is undergoing a restructuring process following the acquisition and integration of Coinme and Sequence teams. This strategic adjustment involves the elimination of certain overlapping positions to facilitate the company's transition into a blockchain firm focused primarily on payments. Boiron emphasized that the changes are structural and not related to employee performance issues. Despite these adjustments, the overall headcount is expected to remain stable, with a shift in expertise towards payments, wallets, and blockchain infrastructure. Previously, on December 13, Polygon Labs acquired cryptocurrency payment infrastructure Coinme and blockchain development platform Sequence for $250 million.
