Framework Ventures co-founder: Token issuance will significantly decrease in the 2020s, with a focus on mainstream coins and DeFi blue chips

Framework Ventures co-founder Vance Spencer stated, "2025 is not the year the crypto industry is looking forward to, but it is likely to be a necessary year for the industry's continued progress. As an industry, we have essentially bid farewell to meme coins, NFTs, low liquidity high FDV projects, and the entire narrative that is generally consumer-oriented.

My prediction for 2026 is that the number of token issuances will significantly decrease, and the market focus will shift more towards mainstream assets (ETH, BTC). Meanwhile, institutional funds will continue to flow into DeFi blue-chip projects that have reasonable value capture mechanisms.

This buying pressure could be strong enough to exceed many people's expectations, especially against the backdrop of ongoing buybacks and a high level of financial discipline at the protocol level. The future of this industry is already very clear; stablecoins, real-world assets (RWA), lending and capital markets, as well as asset management, will become the dominant directions.

We will address many issues in the cryptocurrency space by reducing blind expansion, focusing on refinement, and pursuing a path of compliance. This is a bullish pattern, but the opportunities for rebounds, rallies, and exits will present a highly concentrated situation."
