ECNY— China's digital currency (e-CNY) is being integrated into the backend systems of multiple central banks worldwide through the Enbridge project, indicating potential for wider adoption and influence.

Bearish

ADTECH— There's a push against ad-based internet economy models, with some companies actively working to prevent the continuation of attention economy practices in emerging technologies like AI.
