Crypto is no longer a side bet.

That’s the core message from Hashdex’s 2026 outlook and it directly connects with what @KAIO_xyz is building.

Hashdex argues that treating crypto as a sub-1% allocation is now an active choice, not a neutral one.

With the market above $3T, institutions are beginning to think in real portfolio terms, not experiments.

Their thesis for 2026 is clear:
Stablecoins deepen on chain liquidity, tokenization pulls real assets onto crypto rails,
and AI increases demand for verifiable, compliant infrastructure.

Tokenized RWAs alone are projected to grow from roughly $36B today to ~$400B by the end of 2026.

That shift doesn’t work without regulated access, clean settlement, and interoperability across networks. This is where KAIO fits naturally.

KAIO isn’t pitching theory, it’s building the infrastructure that lets institutional funds move onchain in a compliant, usable way.

2026 isn’t about exploration anymore. It’s about deployment.
