The crypto market is hotly discussing the latest reports this week. If you think the party will end at the end of 2025, think again. The news and data released in the last few days suggest that 2026 could be a much more mature and explosive year.
Here is a summary of the important news this week that will change the game map in 2026:
1. Is the 4-Year Cycle Theory Already "Outdated"? 📉➡️📈
The CEO of Bitwise just shared a controversial view this week. He stated that the classic 4-year halving cycle may no longer be relevant.
The impact: Instead of a severe bear market in 2026, we are predicted to see a "Supercycle" where institutional adoption keeps prices stable and tends to rise. 2026 is predicted not to be a "crash" year, but rather a year of expansion.
2. Deadline Basel III: Are Banks Ready to Buy? 🏦
Don’t forget, global capital adequacy standards for banks (Basel III) regarding crypto asset exposure will be fully effective starting January 1, 2026.
This means: Major banks around the world finally have clear (and legal) rules for holding Bitcoin and digital assets on their balance sheets. The bank liquidity gateway will swing wide open right at the beginning of next year!
3. Crazy Prediction from 21Shares: Stablecoin & RWA 🌐
The latest report from 21Shares released this week projects fantastic figures for 2026:
Stablecoin supply is predicted to exceed $1 Trillion.
Tokenized Real World Assets (RWA) could reach $500 Billion.
This signifies that crypto is no longer just speculation, but has become a part of the global financial infrastructure.
4. Massive "Screening" of the European Union (MiCA) 🇪🇺
Mid 2026 is the end of the grandfathering period for MiCA regulations.
The effect: Exchanges or fraudulent projects will be swept clean from the European market. Only projects with strong fundamentals and regulatory compliance will survive. This is bullish for blue-chip assets and compliant ones.
💡 Conclusion:
The news this week confirms one thing: 2026 is the transition year from "Retail Toys" to "Institutional Assets". Volatility may decrease, but valuations could explode as big money (Trillions of Dollars) legally enters next year.
Question for you:
Is your strategy still to Take Profit at the end of 2025, or are you brave enough to HODL until the bank regulations in 2026 take effect? 👇
