As 2025 wraps with Bitcoin around $88K-90K (down from Oct highs), analysts are eyeing 2026 as a maturation year. No more wild 4-year cycles? Institutional demand, ETFs, regulation & tech upgrades could drive sustained growth. Here's the consensus:
Bitcoin ($BTC): Majority bullish on new ATHs early-mid 2026.
- Bitwise/Grayscale: Breaks cycle, new highs H1
- JPMorgan: ~$170K
- Fundstrat: $200K-$250K
- Galaxy: Chaotic, but possible highs; $250K by 2027
Bear risks: Ranging $70K-110K if macro tightens.
Ethereum ($ETH): Scaling upgrades (Fusaka etc.) + ETFs fuel upside.
Targets: $5K-12K+
Solana ($SOL): New ATHs likely w/ Alpenglow & ETFs.
Broader market: Tokenization/RWAs explode ($400B+?), stablecoins $500B-1T.
Key themes:
Overall: 2026 = infrastructure over hype. Blue-chips lead, alts rotate on narratives (AI/DeFi/RWAs). Predictions speculative – crypto's volatile!
