The global geopolitical and geo-economic landscape is accelerating its transformation, and deep-seated contradictions are emerging alongside.

Against this backdrop, many seemingly opposing phenomena are occurring simultaneously—economic integration coexists with trade confrontation, and technological cooperation runs parallel to geopolitical competition. These contradictions may become even more pronounced by 2026.

Six industry experts have conducted in-depth analyses of these core paradoxes, explaining from different perspectives why it is important to pay attention to these conflicting trends. Whether you are a market observer or an investor, understanding these contradictions is crucial for decision-making.

Geopolitical uncertainty directly impacts capital market expectations, and as a new option for global asset allocation, the crypto market will also be affected by these macro factors. Take a look at what these experts have to say—they offer insights worth considering.

Economic integration and trade confrontation coexist? Isn't this just the current normal? Anyway, just hold your coins.

You need to hurry up and accumulate chips before 2026. This wave of geopolitical chaos has just begun. For example... while some regions are engaging in economic cooperation and trade wars, crypto is actually becoming more attractive? Wait, I haven't seen the specific opinions from the six experts yet. Geopolitical instability = the best time to get into crypto, I believe in this logic. Really, market observers focus on macroeconomics, while retail investors just look at coin prices, haha. The more complex the macro contradictions, the better they explain why coins are so volatile. That's right, under uncertainty, asset allocation should be multi-chain and multi-coin; don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Is escalating contradiction truly an opportunity or a mine? Honestly, I can't quite see through 2026... Playing both integration and confrontation at the same time—how will the crypto market handle this routine?

It's contradictory. Basically, countries are just talking trash while trying to make money. The crypto world is hit the hardest. We're just here watching the show.

By 2026, I need to properly allocate my assets. I feel that this wave of geopolitical risk won't pass so quickly.

The big show in 2026, it feels like it's coming... Trade confrontation + technological competition double kill. Brothers still going all-in on a single asset at this time will really feel uncomfortable. The crypto market is truly a barometer of geopolitical weather. The last time the Federal Reserve's move caused a direct plunge in prices, and if there's another policy black swan this time... my altcoin positions might be in trouble haha. Brothers, now is the time to allocate defensive assets. Don't always think about hundredfold opportunities; surviving is the key.

Honestly, this situation is a tangled mess right now, with one side fighting and the other cooperating. I can't figure out who is making money and who is losing. What will happen in 2026? I still bet that crypto is the top choice for hedging, traditional assets are too unstable. Curious to see what these 6 experts think, is there anyone who can truly predict... but I believe multi-chain cross-domain strategies should be more reliable. --- The idea that contradictions coexist is interesting, but the question is, what do we do with our wallets? --- Geopolitical risks are skyrocketing, yet the crypto world is actually riding the wave. Is this logic real or just self-deception? --- Another year of uncertainty, but what I want is guaranteed returns... no matter how much these experts analyze, they can't change the market reality. --- Technological competition, trade wars, and the crypto card—2026 is expected to be even more surreal.

The 2026 paradox outbreak? We've long seen through this game. Economic integration and trade wars can happen simultaneously—it's a classic fragmented era. The crypto market is truly the ultimate hedging tool. When macro conditions are chaotic, prices rise; no matter how many expert analyses there are, it's better to get on board yourself. In this kind of uncertainty, opportunities are abundant. Anyone still hesitating is just being foolish.
