Former CFTC Commissioner Brian Quintenz highlighted how much the crypto landscape could change over the next year during Korea Blockchain Week 2026.
One major shift is the growing connection between traditional finance and tokenization, as more financial assets and services move toward blockchain-based infrastructure.
But the story is no longer limited to finance.
Crypto and blockchain are also expanding into areas such as entertainment, music and social networks, creating new ways to represent ownership, distribute value and interact with digital content.
The bigger takeaway is that blockchain adoption is gradually moving from a niche financial use case toward broader digital infrastructure.
The next phase may be less about simply trading crypto and more about where blockchain technology becomes useful in everyday digital experiences.
