According to Deep Tide TechFlow news, on December 20, Galaxy Research released its 2026 cryptocurrency market forecast.
The report forecasts that Bitcoin will reach $250,000 by the end of 2027, but believes that the market in 2026 is too chaotic to predict accurately. Currently, the options market has equal probabilities for Bitcoin prices at the end of June 2026 being $70,000 or $130,000, and for the end of the year being $50,000 or $250,000.
Other important predictions include: at least one Layer-1 blockchain will incorporate revenue-generating applications; stablecoin transaction volume will surpass the ACH system; decentralized exchanges will account for over 25% of spot trading volume; the total market value of privacy tokens will exceed $100 billion; and the U.S. will see the launch of over 50 spot altcoin ETFs and another 50 cryptocurrency ETFs.
