Any IP is a high-risk asset. Currently, BTC is in line with the trend of the times. Compared with ancient gold, BTC is more favored by the younger generation. Winning young people means winning the future. When the millennial generation gradually takes the center stage of the times, BTC will also usher in its moment of glory.
After over five weeks of negotiations and back-and-forth, U.S. cryptocurrency legislation has made a breakthrough, with a crucial vote completed before Congress goes on recess. This means that by 2026, the U.S. could potentially clarify the regulatory framework for all types of crypto at the federal level. The last week of May marks the congressional recess, which will last until early June. Not long ago, the U.S. Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee (hereafter referred to as the 'Senate Banking Committee') held a key markup hearing on the 'Digital Asset Market Clear Act' (hereafter 'Clear Act') and passed a procedural vote with a 15:9 margin. The version of the Clear Act used for this vote has undergone several revisions compared to the initial draft from months ago, with the bill expanding from 278 pages to 309 pages; adjustments have also been made regarding concerns about stablecoin yields and other issues.

Strong moves, but they also reveal that the altcoin landscape is shifting.
This is the narrative that has been playing out throughout 2026, and this trend is likely to persist for a long time.
👉 Bitcoin Dominance
Bitcoin dominance just dipped below 60% in May, while altcoins have actually started to rally.
Only a handful of coins have seen sharp and rapid increases, those that held strong throughout the bottoming process, while others are either bleeding or ranging.
👉 Liquidity Situation
Currently, external liquidity hasn't flowed into the crypto market.
The stock market is soaking up funds, retail investors are largely absent, and the number of those who are truly committed to building or holding quality altcoins through this cycle is far fewer than the timeline suggests.
👉 BTC.D has maintained above 60% for most of 2026, while other coins are waiting.
This compression is the current setup, not a problem. When the dominance collapses, selectivity becomes evident.
These moves are so sharp due to thin market liquidity. Fewer participants, reduced liquidity, and a higher signal-to-noise ratio.
Projects that have persisted through months of being overlooked will be quickly lifted when rotation finally occurs.
This is the true face of the new reality for altcoins in 2026.
The broad altcoin season script from 2021 is likely outdated.
Instead, we have a market rewarding quiet holding beliefs rather than openly chasing entry.
Still building something that nobody's talking about? That might be the last remaining moat.
Networks like Render, Akash, and io net need one thing:
More useful GPU supply.
If millions of consumer-grade laptops start rolling out with NVIDIA-powered AI hardware, then computing resources won't be locked away in data centers anymore.
They'll start to reside in everyday devices.
Idle laptops. Gaming rigs. Creator PCs. Home setups.
This is exactly the kind of underutilized hardware that DePIN networks are designed to coordinate.
👉 CUDA as the bridge
Akash has already zeroed in on NVIDIA GPU computing for AI, machine learning, and rendering workloads. io net is also positioning itself on global GPU clusters for AI workloads.
So, if NVIDIA pushes CUDA-native AI hardware deeper into consumer-grade PCs, the decentralized GPU market will ride this wave for free.
More devices.
Lower barriers to entry.
More node operators.
Potentially cheaper computing.
👉 That's why the narrative matters
If NVIDIA helps bring powerful AI computing to millions of personal devices, projects like $RENDER, $AKT, $IO, and other decentralized computing initiatives will suddenly have a much larger addressable supply base.
Small caveat: laptops aren't perfect 24/7 servers.
But DePIN doesn’t need every laptop to run forever.
▶ Narrative tokens have been completely wrecked, while the underlying market is growing.
The total market cap of tokenized RWA has increased from $9.15 billion to $29.9 billion, but these tokens failed to replicate that success.
▶ The 'RWA label' has not provided any bottom support.
Many tokens aggressively marketed themselves as RWA projects, but the drawdowns they faced were nearly on par with generic altcoins (or worse).
▶ Out of the top 20 RWA protocols, 8 are currently contracting.
Among the top 20 RWA protocols by TVL, 8 are showing negative growth over the last 30 days. Definitely a concern.
3️⃣ Points of hope:
▶ The underlying business is real and growing - YoY +191%.
The tokenized RWA market has expanded from $3.76 billion (January 2025) to today's $26.64 billion - a +607% increase in just 17 months.
▶ Growth protocols are outpacing the downturn - 11 out of 20 are still showing positive growth (30 days).
@xStocksFi, @re, @OndoFinance Yield assets, @DigiFTTech have seen their TVL growth really accelerate over the past year, leading the charge.
▶ Narrative token discounts are now a potential opportunity.
The actual RWA market is up YoY +191% and generating real daily fees - but tokens are down an average of -84% from their all-time highs. This disconnect can't last forever.
$EDEN has surprisingly taken the lead with a whopping 82.90% gain, catching most traders off guard. Low market cap, but an incredible monthly surge.
Both $INJ and $ONDO recorded over 56% gains in the last 30 days, as the narratives of RWA and DeFi infrastructure are reinforcing each other.
$CFG jumped 48%, benefiting from its status as a Coinbase preferred partner and the launch of deSPXA on the Base chain. The fundamentals are clearly reflected in the price.
$XLM saw the biggest drop at -12.56%, despite the Bermuda government's partnership being established.
The RWA space is showing clear divergence: on one side are protocols generating real institutional revenue, and on the other, the rest.
$VVV has surged nearly 10x YTD, while most sectors have been in a downtrend during Q1.
$DEXE has skyrocketed by 438%, making it the second-best performing large-cap AI token of 2026. Institutional-grade DAO infrastructure is quietly becoming one of the most undervalued narratives in this cycle.
$NEAR has risen 79% YTD, thanks to post-quantum cryptography integration and endorsement from Arthur Hayes—it's one of the most resilient coins in the AI category during this rebound.
$FIL and $ICP are the only two tokens in the red—decentralized storage and computing are lagging behind inference and agent-related projects.
The AI sector hasn't rallied uniformly. The divergence between the leaders and laggards is quite stark.
> $ZEC just broke through $660 again. > $ARRR shot up 168% in a week. > $RAIL has seen a 3x pump in the last five days. The total market cap of the privacy coin sector just hit $63 billion. If there’s ever a time to dive into privacy projects, it’s now. Here are our top 12 privacy projects we’re keeping an eye on, along with our expectations for the future. ▶ Untouchables 1️⃣ $XMR Why the hype: Set a new ATH on January 14, 2026. That was the last historical high for the entire privacy coin space. The godfather of privacy in Web3.
(Leading altcoins in each sector) US Treasury: $ONDO Commodities: $PAXG Asset-backed credit: $CFG Specialized finance: $SYRUP Tokenized stocks: $ONDO Corporate credit: $CFG Diversified credit: $CFG Real estate: $MANTRA Some of the largest categories still lack a clear, liquid, publicly traded altcoin winner. Non-US government debt, active strategies, venture capital funds, and private equity are still in the early stages. This means the RWA map is not yet complete. The first wave is about tokenized government bonds. The next wave could be about tokenizing everything else. Which altcoins will win in the competition for the unallocated categories.

Most of them are in profit, but I need to make a call.
Should I take profits or add to my position?
Here’s what I’m deciding to do 👇
$NEAR: Hold until $3.5 $ICP: Take profits at $3 $TRAC: Wait for a breakout at $0.60 $GRASS: Only buy after a breakout at $0.70 $TAO: Keep dollar-cost averaging and sell at $322 $RENDER: Ride the momentum and sell at $2.5
The market has been ranging, but you can’t deny the opportunities.
The last opportunity was in February, with positions up over 60%, you have to ask yourself when enough is enough, and when to add more.
If I need to check out other AI-related altcoins to potentially shift these profits (if I decide to take them), let me know.
