2026 Crypto Disruption: Ivy League Funds Enter, Hundreds of ETFs Erupt, Stablecoins Under Global Siege!
Renowned asset management firm Bitwise has just released a heavyweight prediction list, pointing to a complete transformation in the crypto world in 2026, centered around one statement: a comprehensive bull market, dominated by institutions!
1. Price and Cycle
They boldly predict that Bitcoin will break the outdated four-year cycle, directly setting a historical high next year. Even more astonishing is that its volatility may be lower than that of the tech stock benchmark Nvidia, indicating a key step for crypto assets toward becoming 'mature assets'.
Not only Bitcoin, but Ethereum and Solana have also been named as candidates to hit historical peaks, especially if the U.S. crypto clarity bill (CLARITY) is passed, opening up significant upward potential.
2. Institutions and Demand: From Participation to Monopoly
The most explosive viewpoint in the report regards institutional behavior, predicting that various ETFs will frantically purchase Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, with buying volumes exceeding 100% of the market's annual new supply. This means institutional demand will completely absorb all new coins, forcing retail investors to compete for existing chips in the secondary market.
Meanwhile, over half of the Ivy League school endowment funds will officially invest in cryptocurrencies, and hundreds of crypto-linked ETFs will be listed in the United States, completely opening the gates for institutions.
3. Market and New Frontiers
In addition to mainstream coins, more sectors will explode: cryptocurrency-related stocks will outperform traditional tech stocks, and the blockchain-based prediction market Polymarket will see a surge in popularity.
Moreover, the on-chain vault, a more decentralized form of asset custody, will double in scale, dubbed ETF 2.0. The report also warns that the global influence of stablecoins will be significant enough to be accused of undermining currency stability in emerging markets.
Let me summarize:
1. The 2026 depicted by Bitwise is a scenario where institutional capital fully takes over, mainstream asset prices peak, and market infrastructure deeply evolves.
2. The cycle theory is broken, volatility is tamed, and the core of the story has shifted from 'whether it will rise' to 'who is buying up all the chips'.
