According to the Grayscale report, there will be the end of the 'four-year cycle' of Bitcoin in 2026.
Moreover, the asset will update its maximum against the backdrop of the mining of the 20 millionth Bitcoin in March, and the cryptocurrency market will enter its institutional phase.
The company also anticipates further regulatory clarity.
The end of the 'four-year cycle'
The investment company Grayscale published an analytical report titled 'Forecast for Digital Assets in 2026: The Beginning of the Era of Institutionalization,' in which it stated fundamental structural shifts in the digital asset market.
Analysts believe that the next year could mark the end of the so-called 'four-year cycle' and the beginning of a new phase, where institutional capital, regulatory certainty, and deeper integration of blockchains into the traditional financial system will play a key role. $FARM
The end of the 'four-year cycle'
According to Grayscale's estimates, the cryptocurrency market is in a sustainable bullish trend that does not fit into the classical model of cycles associated with the halving of Bitcoin. Previous market peaks typically formed 1–1.5 years after the halving; however, the current cycle has already lasted over three years, and the last halving occurred in April 2024. $TON
