Recently, an interesting viewpoint has been circulating in the community. A research team from a major asset management institution released a prediction for the 2026 crypto market, believing that the demand for store of value and the gradually improving policy framework are paving the way for the next bull run.

The reasons are actually easy to understand. Global government debt is rising, and there are no signs of improvement in fiscal deficits. More and more investors are beginning to worry about fiat currency devaluation, naturally turning their attention to assets like Bitcoin. This is a tangible market driving force.

More importantly, the policy aspect. Although the US cryptocurrency market structure bill failed to pass in 2025, the trend is clearly changing. Members of both parties are seriously pushing for the formulation of federal rules for digital assets. This shift in attitude suggests that by early 2026, such policies are expected to make substantial progress.

Based on these judgments, the institution predicts that the valuation of crypto assets will see a significant increase in 2026, and the previous "four-year cycle" is also about to come to an end. Their forecast is that Bitcoin is very likely to break its all-time high in the first half of this year. Of course, this is still an expectation; the market's actual direction will depend on real-world developments. But the optimistic attitude of such professional institutions is indeed worth paying attention to for market participants.
