I have an idea I want to share with everyone. The crypto market in 2026 might revolve around two main themes.

One is the DEX track. $DYDX and $ASTER are expected to be the main players. The former has always been highly regarded in the large capital circles, especially among institutional traders doing contract trading, who generally consider it their first choice platform. As for the latter, it has support from well-known figures. Recently, there have been quite a few controversies, but think about it—things that are controversial often attract attention. The more people know about it, the more fuel there is for its rise.

The other theme is Chinese Meme coins. Tokens like $BinanceLife have become representatives. Also, 2026 is the Year of the Horse—will developers jump on the trend and create horse-related tokens? Currently, the market cap of Chinese coins is generally quite low, mostly under 300 million, which means there’s still a lot of room for growth.

Both directions seem worth paying attention to.

DYDX0,89%

ASTER1,62%

dydx is indeed a favorite among institutions, but when it comes to meme coins, it's really all about luck. The idea of riding the Year of the Horse hype is good, but it's a bit too idealistic.

dydx is indeed strong, but I feel a bit hesitant about the controversy around aster... The perspective of meme coins in the Year of the Horse is quite interesting.

I’ve been lurking in dydx for a while, just waiting for institutions to keep buying... I have some reservations about that controversial coin, aster. Chinese memes indeed have a lot of potential, but it feels like 99% of them are just schemes to trap retail investors. The idea from the Year of the Horse could be interesting.

I'm optimistic about this wave of DYDX, institutions are definitely playing this... but the controversy around ASTER, haha, this is the crypto world after all. --- Year of the Horse meme coin? Come on, it's that season again for riding the trend, but the potential is there, and buying in at a low level isn't a bad move. --- The DEX line is reliable, but don't go all in; it still depends on the overall market trend. --- Are Chinese coins generally this low in market cap? Then I should dig around; it seems like there's opportunity, but I also need to be cautious of the scythe. --- $DYDX has high recognition, that's a fact, but it's been hyped for the past two years—has it already been priced in... --- More controversy often leads to better gains? That's the crazy part of the crypto world—more hype means more funds, strange logic. --- For the Year of the Horse concept coins, I bet one will explode; by 2026, these developers are definitely thinking about how to cut the leeks.

DYDX is indeed a favorite among established institutions, but I remain skeptical about the controversy surrounding ASTER. The angle of the Year of the Horse Meme coin is interesting, but whether the developers will truly be dedicated remains uncertain.

DYDX I got on board early, I'm still watching the controversial coin ASTER, afraid of getting cut. The idea of a Year of the Horse meme coin is possible, and there is indeed room for imagination below 300 million.

dydx institutional trading has already gone through a round, so it's a bit late to enter now I'm actually interested in the Year of the Horse meme coins; low market cap coins are indeed easy to take off Aster's controversy is quite intense; honestly, it's a bit disappointing Chinese tokens are still a blue ocean, it all depends on who can ride the hot topics dydx is stable, but the growth potential is really limited I have full positions in several meme coins, betting on the luck of the Year of the Horse I don't quite trust the people behind Aster; I always feel something's off Both lines are worth watching, but for heavy holdings, meme coins are still the better choice; low market cap coins have more imagination This operation idea is okay, it's probably just a timing issue

Haha, I trust DYDX, but ASTER's "dispute = fuel" logic... I was laughing and then I started crying, brother. Is the Year of the Horse Meme coin really coming? Another feast of chopping leeks ahead. Chinese coins with a market cap below 300 million... No, this is about the doubling potential of small coins, or is it hinting at greater risks? I follow the DEX track, but don’t be brainwashed by "endorsed by well-known figures." The last time someone heard that, they’re still bottom-fishing now.
