Solana co-founder Toly recently made several interesting predictions for 2026. He believes that the stablecoin sector will experience an explosion, with the total market cap expected to surpass $1 trillion. This means that stablecoins will play an even more important role in global payments and the Web3 ecosystem.

However, regarding technological breakthroughs, he remains cautious. In the fields of quantum computing and controlled nuclear fusion, short-term progress is likely to remain the same, with little revolutionary advancement. In contrast, AI is a different story — he predicts that AI will solve a problem that has troubled humanity for a thousand years, which is quite a bold prophecy.

In hardware and space sectors, Toly also provided specific figures. The commercialization of humanoid robots will accelerate, with an expected shipment of 100,000 units. Regarding Starship, he is optimistic about achieving two successful commercial flights. These predictions together reflect his optimistic attitude towards technological integration and real economy applications.
