Bitcoin ecosystem will welcome the year of Programmability, USD stablecoin reshapes the financial landscape

Blockchain industry pioneer Du Jun recently accepted an interview, sharing his profound insights on the development of the industry. As the founder and investor of multiple important projects, Du Jun has witnessed and driven every key transformation of blockchain technology.

Du Jun stated that it is currently the golden age for investing in Chinese technology. In cutting-edge fields such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and semiconductors, Chinese individuals are gradually moving towards a global dominant position. This comprehensive rise signifies that Chinese people will play a more important role in global technology competition.

When it comes to the public chain ecosystem, Du Jun believes that currently only Bitcoin, Ethereum, TRON, and Solana have truly established themselves. He emphasizes that the core competitiveness of public chains lies in a clear strategic positioning and real use cases, rather than simple functionality stacking. In the short term, he does not believe the market needs more new public chains.

In the Bitcoin ecosystem, Du Jun is optimistic about the development prospects of its Programmability. He has invested in several projects such as BitVM and RGB++, dedicated to achieving decentralized programmability for Bitcoin. Du Jun predicts that 2026 may become the "year of programmable Bitcoin," at which point it will release enormous liquidity value.

Regarding industry changes, Du Jun reflected on the shift from early technological faith to current real challenges. He pointed out that the current cycle lacks genuine innovation, with most projects becoming mere user harvesting tools. Du Jun believes that specific application scenarios such as stablecoins are the hope for the industry's future.

In the field of stablecoins, Du Jun analyzed the reasons for the success of mainstream stablecoins such as USDT, believing that USD stablecoins have the greatest advantage in global free competition. He pointed out that stablecoins need widespread application scenarios to support them, rather than relying solely on issuance for success.

Finally, Du Jun called on the industry to return to value creation and promote genuine technological innovation. He believes that with the breakthroughs in the Programmability of the Bitcoin ecosystem and the deepening application of stablecoins, blockchain technology will play an increasingly important role in reshaping the global financial order.
