There's an immense amount of changes that will happen in the next year. From my perspective, I'd expect that we'll see the start of other assets on lightning and the industry scrambling to keep up with the adoption that could quickly follow.

I think lightning adoption will diverge somewhat from bitcoin adoption. We'll see people using the financial network in a separate fashion from using base layer bitcoin.

On a regulatory front, I'd expect that lightning will be a much bigger talking point as a tool for financial efficiency, stability, and inclusion.
