It seems that 2026 will be a watershed year for COTI in the privacy battlefield. During this year, they plan to implement initiatives in four core areas—private DeFi applications, privacy-based RWA assets on the chain, PayFi payment financial track, and on-demand privacy features.

In simple terms, privacy has always been a pain point in the crypto market. Most applications fail to achieve true data protection, and COTI is trying to change that situation. From the anonymity of DeFi transactions, to privacy compliance of real-world assets, to security guarantees at the payment layer—covering a wide range.

If this combination can truly be implemented, it will send a signal to the entire privacy track. It feels like 2026 will indeed become a critical year to test various privacy solutions.
