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. At ZIGChain, he is helping build the infrastructure necessary to commercialize blockchain at scale. This includes driving real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, supporting decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, and enabling emerging wealth-creation models through grants, incentives, and revenue-sharing frameworks. Rafay’s dual role across venture building and blockchain innovation positions him to provide a strategic perspective on the opportunities and challenges facing crypto in 2026.
ZIGChain’s initiatives aim to address critical gaps in blockchain adoption by offering scalable infrastructure and practical pathways for businesses and investors to engage with digital assets. The company’s $100M ecosystem fund is central to this effort, accelerating the deployment of RWAs and supporting projects that harness decentralized finance to create measurable economic impact. 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.
The session moderated by Ahmed A Shafi will allow attendees to explore emerging trends in blockchain commercialization, DeFi innovation, and investment strategies that align with the evolving regulatory and technological landscape. By engaging directly with industry leaders, participants will gain a clearer understanding of the practical applications of blockchain, how to navigate market opportunities, and the potential for revenue-sharing and incentive-driven models to accelerate adoption. The discussion also underscores ZIGChain’s commitment to bridging knowledge gaps, fostering a global perspective, and encouraging collaboration across the crypto ecosystem.
