ZIGChain is set to host an in-depth session titled “What’s Next for Crypto in 2026?” featuring Co-Founder Abdul Rafay Gadit, offering insights into the evolving landscape of blockchain, decentralized finance, and digital asset commercialization. The session, scheduled for 21st December 2025 at 11 PM Pakistan time, will be moderated by Ahmed A Shafi, Chief Strategy Officer at ZIGChain. It promises to provide a detailed exploration of how blockchain infrastructure, DeFi applications, and next-generation wealth-creation protocols are shaping the future of the crypto ecosystem.
Abdul Rafay Gadit brings extensive expertise to the discussion, combining his work at ZIGChain with leadership in investments at Disrupt.com, an $850M+ venture builder with significant global exits and a dedicated $100M AI fund.

Participants in the upcoming session can expect to learn how ZIGChain is leveraging this fund to encourage innovation, enhance accessibility to blockchain technologies, and expand the adoption of next-generation crypto protocols.
