BAF, a blockchain quantitative technology company, today announced its 2026 Strategic Development Roadmap, marking a shift from rapid growth to a new phase focused on scaling, ecosystem development, and institutionalization. As global digital asset markets mature and regulatory frameworks become clearer, BAF will build long-term, sustainable blockchain financial infrastructure grounded in quantitative technology, robust risk management, and regional compliance capabilities.
Under the roadmap, BAF plans to expand its global registered user base to over 2.4 million in 2026, while establishing East Asia—including Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore—as the company’s core regional hub for product localization, institutional partnerships, and technology deployment.
2026 Strategic Priorities
BAF’s 2026 roadmap is built around five strategic pillars:
- Scale the global user network while strengthening platform stability and service scalability
- Accelerate localization in East Asia, enhancing regulatory alignment, multilingual support, and regional partnerships
- Evolve from a single quant trading platform into a multi-layer blockchain financial infrastructure provider
- Establish protocol-level governance and participation mechanisms to improve transparency and collaboration efficiency
- Introduce advanced risk controls and insurance partnerships to strengthen platform resilience and security
User Growth and Regional Expansion
BAF expects registered users to grow from approximately 300,000–400,000 at the end of 2025 to more than 2.4 million in 2026. Growth will be driven primarily by improved product usability, enhanced system transparency, and continued investment in educational content and community building.
Execution priorities include:
- Productizing quantitative strategies and improving ease of use
- A tiered service model for retail users, professional traders, and institutional clients
- Community programs centered on education and technology
- Building regional operations teams and a structured compliance advisory network
East Asia has been designated as BAF’s key growth region for 2026 due to its mature digital asset ecosystem, active quantitative trading culture, and increasingly established regulatory environment. BAF will advance localized interfaces, jurisdiction-specific compliance frameworks, and partnerships with industry institutions across Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore.
Expanding Multi-Service Infrastructure for Institutional Clients
Building on its existing quant technology foundation, BAF will expand institutional-grade service offerings in 2026, including:
- An AI-driven automated strategy execution system supporting multiple exchanges and multiple asset classes
- API access and white-label solutions for funds, family offices, and professional institutions
- Partnerships with third-party risk management and insurance providers to improve protection capabilities and operational continuity
Protocol Governance and Technology Architecture
BAF will continue strengthening its protocol-layer architecture to support platform governance, permissioning, and ecosystem collaboration. The design emphasizes transparency, auditability, and long-term sustainability, positioning the platform as foundational infrastructure rather than a short-term speculative tool.
Security and Risk Management
BAF will further enhance end-to-end risk controls and security infrastructure, including:
- Multi-layer asset segregation mechanisms
- Hot and cold wallet management
- AI-based anomaly detection
- Stress testing and incident response drills for extreme market conditions
These measures are intended to deliver institutional-grade stability and compliance readiness.
2026 Key Milestones
- Q1 2026: Launch localized products and compliance frameworks for East Asia
- Q2 2026: Launch insurance-partnered risk protection and custody collaboration solutions
- Q3 2026: Introduce protocol governance and ecosystem participation mechanisms
- Q4 2026: Exceed 2.4 million registered users globally
BAF stated: “We are committed to building long-term blockchain financial infrastructure—not short-term market tools. With quantitative technology at the core, compliance as the foundation, and ecosystem collaboration as our long-term strategy, 2026 will be a pivotal year as we build a robust, transparent platform with global trust.”
