2026 Will Be the “Year of Utility Tokens”

The crypto market is mispriced right now, too much hype around the Trump 2025 narrative. Crypto isn’t Trump’s main focus (he’s more about tariffs and trade wars).

With clearer U.S. regulations ahead (Clarity Act, GENIUS Act)... Only tokens with real use cases will survive. No one wants to be “Out-Meta” right?

Here’s what we got for you today:

• 👀 Explore the $3T stablecoin opportunity

• ⭐ Flow hacked: $4M stolen, token down 40%

• ⭐ Is the US cleaning up the crypto chaos?

• 🔥 Burning hot takes for the road

“If it's boring, it's probably important.” Stablecoins aren't sexy. They don't moon. But they are solving a multi-trillion dollar friction in the global economy.

This blog post is a roadmap for how the crypto industry matures. If you want to understand how you can get exposure to this growth, you need to read this thesis.

DAY 8: Don't Just Buy Tokens, Learn How to Build Them

We have spent the last week covering the basics: what crypto is, how to buy it, and how to keep it safe. But today, we are exploring a new concept.

You might be thinking, "I don't want to launch a token." But honestly, the best way to spot a bad investment is to know exactly how a good one is built.

Today’s lesson is a masterclass in Token Design. It shows you how to use AI not as a "money printer," but as a relentless stress-tester for your ideas.

Even if you never plan to write a single line of code, this lesson is invaluable.

When you understand the Launch Pipeline, you’ll see every other project differently. You’ll instantly spot when a developer is lazy or hiding something 👇

😥 FLOW HACKED: $4M STOLEN, $FLOW DOWN 40%

Flow blockchain just had a very bad day.

A security breach hit the Layer-1 blockchain, leading to $4M stolen and a massive 40%+ crash in the $FLOW ( ▼ 13.55% ) token.

At first, people thought it was a smart contract bug but turns out it’s worse: it was likely caused by a leaked private key in the execution layer, not a logic bug.

According to on-chain analyst Wazz, the attacker used a wallet created 6 months ago to mint tons of wrapped FLOW (WFLOW) via a contract, which suggests access to governance keys rather than code exploits.

1/ What did the hacker actually steal?

• ~$3.9-4M in assets, including FLOW, WBTC, WETH, and stablecoins

• Funds were quickly moved across multiple chains using bridges

• Bridges and LP pools were shut down ASAP to stop the bleeding

2/ What did Flow do in response?

Flow validators launched an emergency patch (Mainnet 28) and rolled the network back to a checkpoint before the hack.

The network also went read-only for a bit to help everyone sync safely.

That rollback means some legit user transactions got wiped. Those users will have to resend their txs once things are back to normal.

Importantly, there’s good news:

• Hackers didn’t touch individual user wallets

• Everyone’s balances before the attack are safe

But, FLOW’s price was down over 40% in just hours. Volume spiked to $170M+, people clearly panic-sold fast.

3/ Korea reacts fast:

• Upbit and Bithumb paused FLOW deposits/withdrawals

• DAXA (the big 5 Korean exchange alliance) sent out a warning, and said delisting or tighter controls might happen if this gets worse

4/ Some more context

Flow, created by Dapper Labs (behind NBA Top Shot & CryptoKitties), was once a top NFT chain.

But since the NFT market cooled off, Flow has slowed down big time. Dapper was even valued at $7.6B in 2022, but has gone through multiple layoffs since then.

Also, let’s see the bigger picture: 2025 has been awful for crypto security. According to Chainalysis:

• $3.4B+ in crypto was stolen in 2025 alone

• 88% of Q1 attacks came from private key leaks, not smart contract bugs

• Bybit’s Feb 2025 hack alone made up nearly half the total

Flow Foundation initially said it would roll back the chain to erase the attack and asked validators to agree. But this plan sparked a huge backlash.

deBridge founder Alex Smirnov (whose protocol is integrated with Flow) said Flow never even told them!?

He also pointed out that real users who pulled money out after the hack would lose funds, while the hacker had already cleaned their loot through $BTC ( ▲ 0.21% ) .

He suggested better options like freezing the hacker’s wallets, burning the fake tokens or hard forking without undoing everything.

After heavy criticism, Flow changed their mind on Dec 29. They cancelled the rollback 😅

Instead, they’re isolating hacker addresses, burning fake tokens, and fixing the hole without wiping user transactions.

🧨 IS THE U.S. FINALLY CLEANING UP THE CRYPTO CHAOS?

After a decade of regulatory confusion, the U.S. could finally fix its crypto mess, and it all comes down to January 2026.

Senator Cynthia Lummis is pushing a bipartisan bill that could bring real legal clarity to the crypto space.

If passed, it could bring legal clarity, protect consumers, and stop pushing innovation out of the country.

Even though Lummis just announced she won’t run for re-election, she’s still full steam ahead on this. In her words, the bill offers the structure the industry needs while keeping consumer protections front and center.

And she’s not alone. Agencies are finally working together:

• SEC’s Project Crypto (Nov) rolled out a clear 4-part token framework: digital commodities, collectibles, utility tokens, and tokenized securities

• Unless your token is basically an ongoing investment contract, the SEC probably won’t come after it anymore

• New broker custody rules are being finalized

• FDIC approved full insurance for a national-level crypto bank on Dec 16

• Stablecoin payment accounts are up for public comment

• The Fed’s new master account framework is opening the door for regulated crypto access to actual banking rails

It’s not just the regulators either.

Trump’s camp is in on this too, his crypto/AI advisor David Sacks says they’re getting close to delivering the big market structure bill Trump called for earlier this year.

If this bill gets through in January, here’s what it could unlock:

• The U.S. finally leads global crypto regulation

• Builders get the clarity they’ve begged for

• Startups stop relocating just to survive

2026 could be the year we stop holding our breath every time someone mentions “crypto regulation.”

For years, we have had to guess if they’re breaking laws, or just pray they’re too small to be noticed. Every step has felt like a legal landmine.

And now, we might actually get a world where you can launch something without praying the SEC ignores you.

There’s a reason mobile home parks are getting so much institutional love.

They remain one of the key affordable-housing sources nationally, have limited supply and high tenant retention (10-12Y).

Investors can see tremendous upside with professionally-managed MHP portfolios such as Vintage Capital’s, which targets a 15-17% IRR and makes monthly distributions. Invest directly in individual deals or via a 10+ property fund. 1031s also available.
