Kartik Aaryan has made a pivotal industry move-he’s officially parted ways with long-time manager team Collective Artists Network (CAN) and has inked a new charter with power-players Dharma Cornerstone Agency (DCA), founded by Karan Johar and Rajeev Masand, as per a report by Exchange4Media. This shift comes at a key moment, signalling a fresh beginning as the actor gears up for an ambitious 2026 slate. The transition follows the much-publicised fallout at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa last year. Back then, Kartik’s session to promote his film was abruptly cancelled after his former team’s reported list of demands-10 extra tickets, two luxury suites, additional five-star accommodations-clashed with festival organisers. This sparked industry chatter about the role of management in star reputations. Now, aligning with DCA-an agency boasting over 200 talents across film, music and digital-is a strategic upgrade. The roster includes heavyweights like Janhvi Kapoor, Tiger Shroff, Sara Ali Khan, Ananya Panday and more in the Bollywood arena; beyond that, the agency represents music artistes and digital creators too. For Kartik, this means fresh access to premium brand deals, multi-platform ventures, and an enhanced image engine. Interestingly, this move also signals a reconciliation with the “Dharma circle.” Though earlier whispers suggested friction between Aaryan and Karan Johar-at one point the actor missed out on a major Johar-backed casting-this new partnership signals a fresh chapter and perhaps a reset of alliances. What does this mean for the future? A lot. Kartik’s 2026 line-up already looks punchy: Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri with Ananya Panday, the supernatural thriller Naagzilla (slated August 14, 2026) alongside the much-anticipated romantic film with Anurag Basu, which also stars Sreeleela. With DCA’s machinery in place, he’s now geared not just for box-office punch but also for image elevation, endorsements, digital footprint expansion-and perhaps the move into the league of A-list superstars.

The post Coinbase Targets RWA, DeFi & AI As Key Investment Areas For 2026 ⋆ ZyCrypto appeared com. Crypto exchange Coinbase highlighted prominent sectors it plans to invest in next year. This follows a surge in retail adoption and institutional capital into stablecoins, infrastructure, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Coinbase Backs Nine Market Sectors The venture capitalists’ arm of Coinbase is targeting nine areas for fresh investment throughout 2026. In a recent blog post, the exchange explains the need to answer the “what to build next” questions as more protocols begin to emerge. Coinbase Ventures is keen on tokenization and RWA, specialized exchanges, trading terminals, decentralized finance (DeFi) expansion, proof of humanity, AI and robotics, etc. This will expand adoption in these areas, reinforcing its bullish stance on the market’s future. This year, stablecoin growth attracted Coinbase, with analysts pointing to how its infrastructure reshaped payments. Speed and cross-border settlements were also at the center of mainstream adoption. A cross-section of investors is seeking new exposure in trading assets. Coinbase Ventures plans massive RWA scale to onboard exotic assets on-chain and to improve the trader base with cryptocurrencies. Tokenization highlights the recent traditional influx to the sector that has been avoided for more than a decade.

Enabled by recent improvements in perpetual DEX infrastructure, RWA perpetuals create synthetic exposure to off-chain assets through perpetual futures contracts.” Traditional investment poured into tokenization in recent months with fresh global partnerships. Several governments, including the United States, are currently developing regulatory frameworks, while others have advanced to pilot stage. Aside from tokenization, artificial intelligence is a top priority for both developers and executives. Markets are keen on integrating the tools needed for expansion.
