DWF Ventures: In 2026, focus on Perp DEX, stablecoins and new banking, as well as privacy and zkTLS sectors

Foresight News reported that DWF Ventures has released its 2026 outlook, disclosing its key focus areas for infrastructure and application investments. In the Perp DEX sector, it is optimistic about "dark pool" trading platforms that offer privacy customization features to protect institutional trading strategies and reduce Alpha leakage, while also paying attention to DeFi composability solutions that support RWA and institutional assets as collateral.

In the stablecoin and RWA sectors, the focus will be on yield-bearing stablecoins that utilize RWA to generate returns, settlement layer solutions that address liquidity fragmentation, and regulated neobanks. The RWA sector will focus on unified liquidity layers, RWA vaults, and RWA perpetual contracts.

In terms of privacy, AI, and prediction markets, it is optimistic about leveraging zkTLS technology to combine off-chain credit with on-chain reputation, developing on-chain credit lending and undercollateralized loans. In the AI direction, attention is given to agent markets based on the x402 protocol, Agent identity systems supporting the ERC-8004 standard, and non-custodial yield optimizers. For prediction markets, the main research focus is on liquidity aggregators and emerging platforms that offer position collateral and leverage solutions.
